Happy Zelda Month


It’s been a while since I posted anything. The truth is my living situation changed, and I currently don’t have a working computer to make anything on. However, I’m determined to buy a new one and get the third Belgrad game done. It’s at least 60% complete, anyway.

Anyhow, it’s Zelda month, if PeanutButterGamer has anything to say. I’m glad you people like this game, and those who don’t, I don’t blame you. Chances are that Peebs won’t know this game exists, but this is still something Zelda-related, so I might as well bring this to people’s attention. Also, I’m grateful the Big N hasn’t taken me down. :P

Also, once I get a working computer, do you think an expansion pack would be a good fit for this game? I can’t promise a new story, but I can do new levels, towns, dungeons, and other stuff.

Anyway, happy Zelda month. Hopefully everything goes well for all of us, and I’ll still plan on finishing that third Belgrad game.

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

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.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

...let me be honest, the convention level isn't working well as a platformer.

So, I think I should add top-down sections. The combat would work about the same. I think you shouldn't jump in top-down mode, so sliding will take its place there.

Due to top-down levels working a little differently, it took me a bit to get motivated to program and animate Pinafore in five directions. (Three of these directions are mirrored for a total of eight.)

Unfortunately, that's the easy part.

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).

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".

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.
