Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

So... do you want something sequel-like?


Hello.
I’ve been recently making a 3D platform game that uses similar code to Dragonian. It’s not exactly a sequel, but it reuses a lot of source code. Also, this new game I’m working on has a better camera and WASD controls. It plays more like an FPS, but is still third-person.

Want to take a look at it? It’s not complete, but I’ve got something playable. I would like your input so I know what to improve upon. I want this game to become superior to Dragonian, so I can fix problems before official release.

I figure you guys might be interested. If you are, I’ll keep working on it.

EDIT: The prototype’s been uploaded! You’ll find it here: https://gamejolt.com/games/LaserDave/333335

Again, still needs a bit of work.

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.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

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.

Here I am, still trying to push the limits. I'm pretty sure there's a shader for Mode 7 out there, but this is what I've been working with.

Also, because of limitations, red flashing floors generate force fields you can bump into.

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.

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.

Robots fresh off the assembly line from the prosthetics factory.

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

I might have gone too far in a few places, and not enough in others.

All this work to get punched in the face.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.
