Well… I’m sorry, but I’ll have to change the title, cut a level, and perhaps alter the plot, but besides that, the game’s going well. There will be a few changes between levels, a big change in the HP system, some new collectibles, and some visual differences here and there. Right now, the title will be “A Terry Video Game” until I can come up with something better.
…also, I’m tempted to delete this game’s page and reuse the 2D platform engine associated with this game for a totally different project.
…now, if only GM Studio supported the Switch… (If it did, we’d be playing Undertale on that thing.)
Sorry, I’m rambling. Don’t worry, though. The game’s moving along. So is Belgrad, too.
Next up
Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.
Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
I know. It looks pretty much the same as before. I just needed the motivation to do more with it.
...and an excuse for all sorts of robots at a convention to be attacking Pinafore, specifically.
As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.
"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".
Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.
I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.
Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.
I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.
Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.
Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.
I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.
Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!
...but the game's still not in active development right now.
When you don't know about copyright laws when it comes to fonts, you either take a chance, or make your own.
Of course, in the world of sprite art, that doesn't leave many options.
