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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

There are a lot of robot arms in a prosthetics factory. They flail about, so don't get too close, or they'll hurt you.

I made an up-to-date trailer for Terry's Treasure Trouble!

You know, in case it wasn't clear what kind of game this is.

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

I call the ones that crawl "Gwendy", after the dolls from Small Soldiers.

...well... This is awkward.

Yes, I CAN make an animated background within a matte, with a shifting color palette. However, I realize this doesn't look like lava, no matter which way you shake it.

...the effect's cool, though.

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.

What's taking me so long? Designing assets for the volcano level. Also, allergies.

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom, boom boom acka-lacka boom boom.

First off, you can't rotate a background with draw_background_tiled. However, you can draw anything on a BIG surface, and a surface can be rotated and doubled up.

So, the infinite floor uses a surface, and now it's not chugging so hard. Look at the FPS.
