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.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

Playing around with the title is only the start of a title sequence.

Oh, no. They're stuck. I'M stuck. The only thing that could be doing this within reason should be collision physics.

Pretty sure the GM Studio 1 build doesn't do this, but the current Game Maker build does.

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.

Here. I've got a trailer ready. (...assuming it loads.)

Now I've gotta shop it around, and upload it onto YouTube.

I did Attract Mode first.

She can pwn on her own for the first four mainline levels for 30 seconds each.

How it started vs. How it's going.

The character-puppet thing ended up being the basis for the boss designs instead of the Robot Maid herself.

I could salvage it, but I'd think adding a mode where bosses fight each other is a bit too extra.

Importing again.

It may say there are 20 warnings, but 18 are about "__cam" and two are about "array_length_1d", related to ye olde depth system.

...well, I don't know if I should be worried about either at the moment.

Since certain elements of GM Studio 1, including ye olde "score" and "lives" variables, were deprecated in later versions, I reworked the score system while making them global.Score and global.Lives instead.

Now getting a million points can be done.

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