I don't know if I went too far, or not far enough. The hand-clamps work, but that's not being demonstrated here.

Testing out a tentacle...

Despite anything resembling better judgment, and this not going into any demos, I decided to implement a swinging mechanic.

I got it working. You can control the swing (loosely), and can stretch and retract the arm. It even adds a bit of momentum.

Screenshots for Belgrad: Curse of the Castle

Two-level demo for Robot Maid P-NA-4 is here!

...but the game's still not in active development right now.

Possible default protagonists, Charlie (guy with hat) and Bonnie (girl with dress). Using a similar palette, because I can.

I would alter the faces, but I like appeal, and without the pixel-noses, they'd look like chibis at that size.

I figured out an easier way to program arranging angles on a rig.

It involves choosing which body part to move, then using the mouse to calculate an angle.

Namely, angle= point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y).

First you draw parts, then program a rig for animation.

I need to work on the "What does this guy actually do" part.

As a writer, you learn to just make stuff up. As a science-fiction writer, you justify the stuff you just make up.

"Derma" is related to "skin", and "myo" is related to "myoelectric prosthesis".

What a bunch of clowns.
