I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.
Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.
Next up
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.
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...
I might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.
If my plan for Sega CD-styled cinematics doesn't work out, Plan B would be the GBA-style cinematics.
If anything, they make decent filler.
He's coming back. ...but just this once.
A rather interesting thing I forgot about...
The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.
...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.
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.
I felt some mechanics were underutilized, so I'm making an expansion.
...more or less just a side quest and extra dungeon. No more than that here.
Coming who-knows-when.
Coming soon to another update.
Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.
