If our games are to be based on the shows mentioned, does that mean we're allowed to use the likenesses of the actors associated with the shows mentioned?
Also, does this mean we're allowed to make remixes of their theme music?
Next up
As part of making this game, I have to do a lot of animation without a lot of drawing, if you can believe such a thing is possible.
For one of the opening shots, I'd like Pinafore to clean up this photo on the wall, then see her reflection.
I just scanned in some artwork. I do a lot of hand-drawing for reference, but there is a bit of a gap between the hand-drawn stuff and the pixel art.
Again, I hand-draw with my left, and do pixels with my right.
Again, this is more Sierra-styled than Sega CD-styled, but it gets the point across.
It doesn't help that the small-sprite BAC-PAC doesn't exactly pop from this kind of background.
Besides that, I'm making progress.
I decided to use the scenarios from the movie one of which is perfection itself, the graboids get more sensitive the more together you are wink wink.
Animating those graboid arms was a heck of fun! hope you enjoy it!
We aren't in deep space. We're above the earth. There are no space potatoes above the earth. There's space debris, though.
The real trick now is figuring out what the starbase you're flying into looks like.
Did you know? The Horror Forest level of our game is based on the Felix the Cat 1988 movie. The trees and slime was referenced to the scene where Felix meets the old dwarf guy. This level was also inspired by Thriller Bark saga of One Piece, zombies + BG.
As part of the process, I learned that my new dialogue-scrolling system isn't perfect. It's possible to break it if you can push the button faster than humanly possible.
I guess I'd better dig out the Turbo controller for further testing.
Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.
If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.
Congrats to the winners and congrats to ALL participants. The games entered in this jam were AMAZING & incredibly hard to judge. Game Jolt staff will reach out to the winner via the email associated with their Game Jolt account!
Okay, the bed's a bit bigger. There are other details I need to correct as well.
Sadly, the reunion between Pinafore and a conscious Timothy will have to wait.
