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.
Jump to the left.
Take a step to the right.
Wait until the idle animation. The hands should be on his hips.
Duck.
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.
Still working on it.
There's definitely treasure around here, but it'll still take a while 'til we reach it.
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.
Why, yes, programming an elephant IS hard. Making its eyes blue is a lot easier, but I'm not doing that.
I also had to make sure it's a robot elephant, specifically, because this is a robot circus, and it's unethical to use real elephants.
This should help speed up the process.
...no guarantees, but until I have an official level-select menu, this'll do.
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.
Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!
...but the game's still not in active development right now.
First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.
I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.
I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.
It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.
Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).
Three reasons to be going after the treasure:
