Game
Dragonian: The Imbalance of Sierr






3 years ago

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


...yeah. I thought I lost these files, but I had them backed up on my computer. This means my old Tales of the Wind Fish story (a prototype story that led to Dragonian), my Elfling language guide, Tiel's Diary story, and an older dialogue script have been backed up now.

Anyway, let's show you the language. It's a stupid word-swap language, labeled WSL, but it may help you understand the lyrics of the first song in Rock Beyond Time.

Almost there...

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

It doesn't matter if you're drawing in pixels, by hand, or with polygons. Hands are hard to draw, period.

Meow.

Tigers are difficult to animate, especially since they have two joints for their hind legs.

Well, it kinda resembles a tiger.

There. The hand is drawn.

...now I've got four more angles for this hand to be drawn in, then I'll copy-paste and mirror them for the other hand.

Also, I've added a timer for scoring and convention reasons.

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.

The arms are done.

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

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.

So it begins.

It doesn't help that the three forms share parts, but not body arrangements, but nobody's perfect.

...hopefully, people will see this guy as an homage, and not as infringement.

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.

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.
