Terry's Treasure Trouble!

The SAGE 2023 Demo for Terry's Treasure Trouble is now on this page!


...I really should've put this here sooner.

SAGE has come and gone, and my game, while it had seemingly over 100 downloads over there, didn't get much recognition.

Oh, well. Might as well put out the SAGE Demo here.

Just beware that the SAGE Demo has a lot of features stripped out for demo purposes, including saving, a whole bunch of levels, teleporters, and access to more than one world. Also, I hadn't programmed that new camera system for the demo.

However, if you manage to collect all the crystals in the demo, you can potentially access the Special Stage behind the Mysterious gate.

This background full of conveyor belts might make it a bit more factory-like, but it's still ominous.

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.

Still working on it.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Three reasons to be going after the treasure:

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.
