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've been working on a moving pulley that activates when you grapple to it. If it moves you into a solid block, you let go.
...now I've gotta figure out Mag-Nia and her amazing weapons.
I'm feeling a bit more off than usual today.
Here, have some smaller weapons.
One part of me is telling me, "These weapons are way too big for Mag-Nia! Shrink 'em down to half-size!"
Meanwhile, another part of me is saying, "Wait, you can still use these for a more proper Seven Force-styled boss fight later on!"
Let's do both.
When I designed this character months ago, she was made to be a bitter rival to Pinafore.
Her name in development was Gun-NIA, but now it's Mag-Nia.
...also, I was watching Wonder Woman at the time. Is she too much?
I felt like I needed to punch up these level intros.
The silhouette should indicate what kind of level you're getting into. I've yet to implement the Top-Down or Mode 7 levels, so I've only got a silhouette for the main levels.
So, I'm working on the top-down sections. There are three of these things planned for this game.
The DemoBots have to be a little shorter for this perspective, and they're mostly headed downwards. So, hopefully, I won't have to draw so many GFX.
This boss is done, more or less.
I'm gonna try to work in a different department.
Beware the front-facing DemoBots. They approach the summer home slowly, hoping to demolish it. It's nothing personal; it's just their job.
...but they didn't inform the Robot Maid. Demolition is messy business, and she can't let the house get messy.
Just because it's inspired by Seven Force doesn't mean it's gonna be a bunch of robots. Instead, Mag-Nia's gonna make her own weapons.
These GFX are probably gonna be used for masks and reference. I have plans for a sawblade form later.
I realize that I don't need a fancy transition for Mag-Nia to use Seven Force-style weapons.
...but maybe I shouldn't use circles for the whip.
