The State of the Third Belgrad game


Yes, I’ve been making a third Belgrad game. (…and Curse of the Castle is the second one. We don’t speak of the first one.) It’s at least beyond halfway complete.

The main gameplay is pretty much put in. The map is established. The dungeons are made. A lot of the background details have been put in. New moves have been programmed. New powerups have been added. A good majority of brand-new NPCs have been drawn, but not fully programmed. I think I got the save feature made properly.
…however, reality is about to become harsh on me, as I’ll be moving and still need a new computer. I’ll have a few hiccups before getting this game completed. If I could do a Kickstarter, I’d gladly do it. What for? Music, polish, software upgrades, possibly voice clips, and maybe making it sale-worthy on real game systems.

If any of you can help, this third Belgrad game will be even greater than this one. Who knows? Maybe Diana and Vivian would meet in this one.

So, what is the story for this third one? Well, you’ll have to wait and see. All I can say is that it’s set in 1999 in America, and as such, will be less Castlevania-like.

Do any of you think you can support this?

Cutscene work begins with drawing backgrounds.

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

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

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?

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.

Testing out a tentacle...

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.

Almost there...

Thankfully, the fingers can be flipped around for the opposite direction.

We aren't in deep space. We're above the earth. There are no space potatoes above the earth. There's space debris, though.

The real trick now is figuring out what the starbase you're flying into looks like.

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.
