Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr

Third year since release


It’s been three years since I released Dragonian, and I want to thank you all for your support. So, I might as well update you all on how I’m doing.
I know I posted something on Laser Dave a while ago, but I got bored of working on it. Call it Early Access Syndrome, if you will. It was fun trying out better camera controls, but not exactly fun to QA. Also, Laser Dave’s level structure was too gamey and linear.
I’ve also been working on two projects: A surprise project, and the third Belgrad game. I can’t say much about the surprise project yet, but I can say I’ve got the main map of the third Belgrad game complete. …I just need to get the dungeons, NPCs, monsters, music, and all the other fun stuff done.

I know some of you still want a sequel to Dragonian, but you’ll have to wait or just be lucky. …or mod the game yourself. I did release the source code a while back, you know.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go back to working on the third Belgrad game… hopefully.

Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

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.

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

Here, have some smaller weapons.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.

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.

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.

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.

More BG layers, more garbage.

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

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?

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.
