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.

Still working on it.

There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.

I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.

It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.

Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).

If you've had your fill of games where you play as elephants and blue hedgehogs, this might be for you.

...and I haven't advertised this the best, but it's coming.

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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

Does anyone want sprite fonts? Here's a starter pack.

Good luck assembling it, and modify it any way you want.
