Belgrad: Y2K

The third Belgrad game needs a good title!


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.

One part of me is telling me, "These weapons are way too big for Mag-Nia! Shrink 'em down to half-size!"

Meanwhile, another part of me is saying, "Wait, you can still use these for a more proper Seven Force-styled boss fight later on!"

Let's do both.

Still shaping out that junkyard.

The sky is a dirty green, the background is a painful quilt of grayness to draw, and the ground is still made of fruitcake.

More BG layers, more garbage.

Maybe I should throw in a few towers of cars into the background.

I'm feeling a bit more off than usual today.

Here, have some smaller weapons.

I realize that I don't need a fancy transition for Mag-Nia to use Seven Force-style weapons.

...but maybe I shouldn't use circles for the whip.

I've been working on a moving pulley that activates when you grapple to it. If it moves you into a solid block, you let go.

...now I've gotta figure out Mag-Nia and her amazing weapons.

Two screenshots.

Of course old-fashioned robots end up in the junkyard.

They aren't gonna be used in the convention level, so it's fitting here.

Also, the giant floating magnets and bulldozers don't discriminate. They harm all robots.

If you need a sciencey explanation for how a giant magnet can float, it's the same way cars float: little rapidly-spinning magnets.

It doesn't make much sense in reality, but I'm sticking with this story.

When I designed this character months ago, she was made to be a bitter rival to Pinafore.

Her name in development was Gun-NIA, but now it's Mag-Nia.

...also, I was watching Wonder Woman at the time. Is she too much?
