The Cheat Code to open up the tollgate without paying


If you're at a tollgate in this game, and there are about four, if I remember correctly, there is a little cheat to get past them. You'll need plenty of room to do it, though.

  1. Jump to the left.

  2. Take a step to the right.

  3. Wait until the idle animation. The hands should be on his hips.

  4. Duck.

  5. Look upwards, duck, look upwards, duck, repeat until the gate opens.

Why am I bringing this up now? Well, I forgot about it.

...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.

I don't normally do mockups, but since the mockup is in-engine, I'll make an exception. It helps me figure out whether or not drop-shadows (and enemies that move in the background) would be effective in this level.

...I think the answer is "yes".

Apparently, there are only three time zones between Brazil and the UK.

So, I might as well add some clouds and rain.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

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.

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.

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.

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.

I made an up-to-date trailer for Terry's Treasure Trouble!

You know, in case it wasn't clear what kind of game this is.

Still working on it.

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