Have you played Atari today? ...not like this!
This is The Great Space Adventure. It’s a game heavily inspired by Atari games, and it shows.
You pilot a transforming robot called the Walking Orbital Laser Flyer, or WOLF, and you must save the twelve stars from the evil Big Floating Head. Shoot anything green, and especially shoot dragons, energy cores, and any enemy fire that comes up. Will you be victorious, or will you explode?
If this is a love letter to Atari, you don’t want to see their hate mail.
I guess I can show these things on April Fools day.
They are NOT going into the Robot Maid game, but they're still in the code.
If you think YOU're asking "Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" then just imagine how I feel every time I have to add little details and bug fixes.
...I'd better make a trailer or pitch reel.
"Sir, is the Super Scaler effect really necessary for a cutscene like this?"
"I coded it, didn't I?"
Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.
In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.
I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.
Do you know how hard it is to get THIS shot?
Like I said, I'm making level thumbnails for the Level Select screen. Also, this gives you a good idea how big the max health bar is.
Here. I've got a trailer ready. (...assuming it loads.)
Now I've gotta shop it around, and upload it onto YouTube.
I did Attract Mode first.
She can pwn on her own for the first four mainline levels for 30 seconds each.
...another fine mess you got yourself into.
I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.
Back in the old days, you could just flash between these two frames to make dynamic lighting, to show something's flashing in front of her.
I'm just gonna use the other frame to indicate the lights are on. No flashing required.
I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.
Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.
