Progress on the third Belgrad Game


Hello. In case you don’t know, Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is the second Belgrad game, and I’m working on the third one. I got my brand-new computer, and I’ve just been polishing up the third game. More dialogue for NPCs has been implemented. The bugs with the controllers (which I haven’t noticed until now) have been fixed for this project. (Tell me if I need to fix them on Curse of the Castle. I’ll gladly do it.) I’ve added some more animation. Some more enemies have been added. I’ve even made a saveable settings screen just in case, including turning on and off particle effects and a recently-implemented rumble feature.
Overall, I’m making good progress now. However, if I were to sell this third Belgrad game, I think I’ll need to find a publisher first. (…and that’s a big IF.)

Anyway, here’s another screenshot.

In case anyone forgot, robots explode.

So do robot maids.

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.

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".

...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.

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.

Testing out a tentacle...

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).

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