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.

Cutscene work begins with drawing backgrounds.

...maybe I made Timothy's hospital bed too small.

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

Nobody's going to mind a time-limited Bonus Stage as long as it's not mandatory to beat it, right?

...and nobody will mind if the developer himself has a hard time with it, either, right?

...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.

Again, this is more Sierra-styled than Sega CD-styled, but it gets the point across.

It doesn't help that the small-sprite BAC-PAC doesn't exactly pop from this kind of background.

Besides that, I'm making progress.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

This will be the last Bonus Stage I'll make for the game, because all the others are already developed.

Hopefully, there'll be more than dodging space potatoes, and I'll fix the HUD to not be the same one as the racing section.

Okay, the bed's a bit bigger. There are other details I need to correct as well.

Sadly, the reunion between Pinafore and a conscious Timothy will have to wait.

Still working on it.

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

Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.

If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.
