My only goal with this bot design was "something with missile launchers". Yeah, they're there. Just not in the hands.

I feel like I combined a Patlabor with Briareos.

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.

To quote George Lucas, "I might have gone a bit too far in a few places."

I figure it would be a bit cooler if we started flying at night, then as we cross time zones across the Atlantic, it would be daytime by the time the player reaches their destination in the UK.

...but it doesn't look like "night" yet.

What? Did you think all robot maids had jet skis? Of course not. This one takes rides on top of a flying car.

I'm gonna have to draw scene-specific sprites for Pinafore, though. One doesn't simply stand on top of a car and not have that hair flap.

This is how I know Game Maker's random() function isn't very random:

I put in the Kid Pix "Draw Me" prompt into my game, and the phrase "I am Commander Salamander with a magic cookie jar, and I live in your bathtub" is consistently the first thing I see.

...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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

If you're flying over the ocean, it doesn't leave you much choice in what kind of bad guys you fight. They have to fly, too.

I know it isn't a very lady-like pose, but it keeps her stable on a speeding vehicle.

Also, I don't need to animate walking in this section.
