For quite a while, the working title of this Belgrad game was Belgrad: Y2K. It’s still the title at the moment, but I want to avoid association with the game YIIK: A Post-Modern RPG.
I don’t want to spoil the game, but it helps if I have a catchy title.
In my game, I programmed a robot to chop down trees in real time. Yes, I know what it looks like, but still, maybe I've gone too far in a few places.
...and I HAVE to specify "in my game". I'm not a monster.
As part of the game's canon, there's been an ongoing war in the Amazon Rainforest. It's a war between the loggers and the environmentalists.
That being said, these trees have been "shaved off" for in-universe and future gameplay reasons.
The Saw-Pod is a machine for lumber work. It uses a bigger laser chainsaw, can cover the user's face, and has a built-in jetpack for those hard-to-reach places.
You'll have to beat them up in-game, though.
How did you expect a backpack to talk?
All that work doing research on the Amazon Rainforest as a level, and THIS is what I come up with?
...well, I'll change the tiles later. I want the ground to be more foresty, and that means working on a tileset.
I think I now understand why that construction vehicle company is called Caterpillar.
...and that's just the wheels for this boss.
Two screenshots.
I'm prepping up a build to show to people.
There are a lot of rudimentary Visual Novel-styled cutscenes throughout. This one's for the end, because the game's not finished yet.
Sometimes, you have to design a character for one scene only.
...and yes, she has to look kinda like April O'Neil, but not quite.
Someone might ask, "Why laser chainsaws?"
Others might ask, "Why are you just repurposing the old DemoBot sprites again?"
It just makes more sense for DemoBots to be using laser chainsaws in the Rainforest. They're built for any job with a helmet.
