I hereby give you... Camera control!


First off, thank you all for your feedback. I’m glad this game at least got noticed.

…but everyone had complained about the camera, though not very specific about it. So, I added some camera rotation on Q and W, and a way to change the camera movement in-game: pause, press D, and unpause, and see what you think.

You’ll have to re-download the game, but at least you can transfer your old saves over to this version.

Once again, thanks for your feedback. I’m only one guy, so I don’t know if I deserve any slack. …but I can’t do anything about a Mac version yet.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

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.

There. The hand is drawn.

...now I've got four more angles for this hand to be drawn in, then I'll copy-paste and mirror them for the other hand.

Also, I've added a timer for scoring and convention reasons.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

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.

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.

It doesn't matter if you're drawing in pixels, by hand, or with polygons. Hands are hard to draw, period.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

I want to do a magic trick that can morph the polygons from one position to the next. I'm doing the keyframes first, then I'll make them automatically do in-betweens with math.

Drawing fingers in perspective is hard, but it'll be worth the effort.
