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.
Well, I got the brain in a jar, and finished making the level.
Now, what's that brain gonna do? I figure it'll electrify itself if you get into its personal space, and send out two robot minions after you, but still, what else?
How did you expect a backpack to talk?
Like I said before, draw_background_tiled_ext() can't do rotation. ...but if I'm not rotating, I can use it without consequence for an infinite floor.
I'm gonna work on a system for the road to constantly spawn objects as I move forward in a sequence.
I'm getting closer to my goal here.
All these rock piles are gonna loop indefinitely for now. My goal is to make the road widen, tighten, and move side-to-side with the walls.
...and replace the grassy floor with something more fruitcake-like.
A step-by-step process for bigger sprites.
GM Studio 1 works like Windows XP's Paint, but with nicer features. As such, even a lefty like me can learn to draw right-handed with a Line tool.
All this work to get punched in the face.
Maybe this thing needs to be in a big jar.
I've been working on some character portraits. Since I've got six out of eight levels, I might as well focus on story elements like this one.
Now I can't stop thinking about Tony Jay's voice in Time Bandits.
Almost there...
There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.
This is the driving sequence in action.
I don't have any original music for that part, and I can imagine that passing-through-flags sound getting annoying after a while.
