Next up
The best way to let everyone play with whatever controller they want is to let players test it out, reconfigure it, and let them test it again.
...it's a bit messy, since this is a game that should support two players.
A rather interesting thing I forgot about...
When I was young and ambitious, I tried making a game called XSF Force. One element you might find (but not implemented) is this guy's talking head and body.
He's a reporter named Mr. Snyder.
I could reuse these GFX, if I clean 'em up a bit.
He's coming back. ...but just this once.
Now going through the animation process. This could take a while.
It's kind of a wonder how Treasure managed to pull a front-facing boss moving sideways at least twice.
One of the bonus stages will be a top-down stage where you try to stop the Demolition robots from smashing the summer home.
...but I don't know whether or not failing a bonus stage should "count". I think the worst bonus stages in gaming are mandatory.
Animation testing, again.
I map animations to keyboard buttons, then figure out the AI. Character movement is tied to the animations before adding the AI.
...and that's why I think a fighting-game mode can be programmed in this game.
Coming soon to another update.
Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.
Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.
