Two screenshots.

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.

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?

Sometimes, you have to design a character for one scene only.

...and yes, she has to look kinda like April O'Neil, but not quite.

Maybe this thing needs to be in a big jar.

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.

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.

How did you expect a backpack to talk?

Almost there...

There's gonna be a second driving section without walls later.

I'm prepping up a build to show to people.

There are a lot of rudimentary Visual Novel-styled cutscenes throughout. This one's for the end, because the game's not finished yet.
