Okay, so now, I’ve got most of the game programmed. This means ALL the gameplay stuff is made. All that is missing is the story bits, original music, and polish here and there.
So… since the game is only mostly complete, should I even release a fresh new beta now? If I do, it’ll probably not get noticed upon official release.
Next up
Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.
I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.
I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.
What a bunch of clowns.
Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!
...but the game's still not in active development right now.
Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.
Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.
I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.
I know. It looks pretty much the same as before. I just needed the motivation to do more with it.
...and an excuse for all sorts of robots at a convention to be attacking Pinafore, specifically.
The First Two Bosses
Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.
Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.
