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 might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.

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

So, what's the secret to drawing a car?

1. Just draw the car from profile, back, and possibly front.

2. Dig out any Hot Wheels product for reference.

3. Use the reference to figure out how to draw those in-between angles.

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.

The only thing harder than animating a set of wheels is making it handle like a set of wheels.

...and making an infinite floor without resorting to the official 3D engine.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.

What kind of bad guys do you see at a prosthetics factory?

These Leg Gunners are part of the security system.

I could have a part where the factory builds robots for you to beat up, but they're gonna be humanoids. They'd probably be like skinless T-800s.

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.

Trying to do that Infinite Floor thing (technically, it's a trick of the camera), and I think it chugs.

Makes sense, since it's drawing on one surface over and over for each scanline, then putting that on another surface, which puts that on-screen.

Hmm...
