Belgrad: Curse of the Castle
9 years ago

Open Beta available!


Because the actual game is complete, and since at the rate I’m going, it’ll take MONTHS to complete original music for this game, I’m releasing an open beta of this game. What would/could change in the final version? Music, mostly. Right now, I’m using temporary tracks (and one original piece) for music on this game.

As such, I must make a big disclaimer because of my selection of temp tracks:
These Dreams by Heart.
Best of Anime and Sailor Moon (DiC Soundtrack) by Rhino Records.
Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi and Toei Animation. Selections include tracks from the Super Best album and the musical.
…other tracks by their respective owners.

Anyway, enjoy. If any of you want to make original music for this game, please contact me and we might be able to finish this game.
If this game gets deleted for misuse of said tracks, you know why.

...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.

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.

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".

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.

When you don't know about copyright laws when it comes to fonts, you either take a chance, or make your own.

Of course, in the world of sprite art, that doesn't leave many options.

Testing out a tentacle...

Due to top-down levels working a little differently, it took me a bit to get motivated to program and animate Pinafore in five directions. (Three of these directions are mirrored for a total of eight.)

Unfortunately, that's the easy part.

Something in the plan for this game will change. With any luck, it will be a change for the better.

I got the keyboard and gamepad input-changing in here.

Try to keep track of the difference between using strings (for the labels on each key) and using actual variables (how the game interprets inputs).
