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
Just because it's inspired by Seven Force doesn't mean it's gonna be a bunch of robots. Instead, Mag-Nia's gonna make her own weapons.
These GFX are probably gonna be used for masks and reference. I have plans for a sawblade form later.
I'm feeling a bit more off than usual today.
Here, have some smaller weapons.
Still shaping out that junkyard.
The sky is a dirty green, the background is a painful quilt of grayness to draw, and the ground is still made of fruitcake.
The First Two Bosses
One part of me is telling me, "These weapons are way too big for Mag-Nia! Shrink 'em down to half-size!"
Meanwhile, another part of me is saying, "Wait, you can still use these for a more proper Seven Force-styled boss fight later on!"
Let's do both.
When I designed this character months ago, she was made to be a bitter rival to Pinafore.
Her name in development was Gun-NIA, but now it's Mag-Nia.
...also, I was watching Wonder Woman at the time. Is she too much?
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
More BG layers, more garbage.
Maybe I should throw in a few towers of cars into the background.
Ever since the first boss, I've had graphics for this bulldozer.
Junkyards have bulldozers, and all sorts of old robots.
So, I'm putting the bulldozer in the junkyard as a minor enemy, as well as unused GFX from the scrapped convention level.
Understood?
If you need a sciencey explanation for how a giant magnet can float, it's the same way cars float: little rapidly-spinning magnets.
It doesn't make much sense in reality, but I'm sticking with this story.
