Sorry I haven't been updating anyone on Robot Maid P-NA-4. I took a big break from that, and played some other games instead.

I've still got work to do on it, like making a third level and its accompanying enemies.

...and some banners to complete the look of the convention.

I don't think I can legally call it RoboCon. Techno-Con might also be taken, but I don't know.

Convention centers are kinda sad without people in them.

The real trick, however, is figuring out the layers. Should I do a big strip of crowds, or silhouettes of other booths, or what? It's a 2D platform game. Making environments can be tough.

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!

...let me be honest, the convention level isn't working well as a platformer.

So, I think I should add top-down sections. The combat would work about the same. I think you shouldn't jump in top-down mode, so sliding will take its place there.

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.

When it comes to robot maids, these are the latest models. Of course, Pinafore can beat them up any day of the week.

Just wanted to try out what I mentioned earlier.

Also, I replaced Curly Sue with a character from a film directed by Chris Columbus, but has nothing to do with John Hughes.

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!

Sometimes, inspiration is as simple as thinking of an old game you played once.
