Belgrad: Angels of Music

...this is Belgrad.


Hello. NukeOTron here.
You probably remember me for making that Dragonian game a while back. …well, here I am again, trying out some new things, like trying to bring back platform-adventure games.
THIS is Belgrad: Angels of Music. The intent was to make a series of these one-level games.
Here, you’ll play as Jason Belgrad, the Discount Slayer of the Supernatural. He may look like a detective, but don’t say it to his face. Here, you’ll investigate here and there, and try to figure out the mysterious disappearances in the Chenoweth Theater. …oh, and you’ll have to slay the Phantom.

This probably isn’t my best work, but it’s certainly something.

This will be the last Bonus Stage I'll make for the game, because all the others are already developed.

Hopefully, there'll be more than dodging space potatoes, and I'll fix the HUD to not be the same one as the racing section.

I want to do a magic trick that can morph the polygons from one position to the next. I'm doing the keyframes first, then I'll make them automatically do in-betweens with math.

Drawing fingers in perspective is hard, but it'll be worth the effort.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

Almost there...

Thankfully, the fingers can be flipped around for the opposite direction.

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

The hands have now been drawn.

Now, I'd better program something that does the math for me to do that polygon-blending trick.

Behold, blending vertex positions!

Old position + ((number between 0 and 1) * the difference between the old and new position)

This took so much math, it hurts. ...not the CPU, but it sure hurts me to do.

...and I've got four more angles to do this with.

Nobody's going to mind a time-limited Bonus Stage as long as it's not mandatory to beat it, right?

...and nobody will mind if the developer himself has a hard time with it, either, right?

There. Another hand angle. It shouldn't have taken me this long, but this isn't my day job.

If I know what I'm doing, I can flip most of that hand, easily.
