Well... now what?


It took me about three years to complete making Rock Beyond Time. It could be better, but it could've been much worse.

Now that it's out, and I'm hardly getting feedback about it, I need to figure out what to do with the time I'd usually be making my game. I mean, yeah, I do have back catalog of games I should play, like Marsupilami: Hoobadventure (a good DKC clone), Collection of Mana, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and so on, but I don't play games for a living. If I did that, I'd be a VTuber.

So, I figure I might as well show you my big random playlist. I've been building it up since Rock Beyond Time, because of course I have. Something has to inspire the music, and fill the void of lack of music as I develop games.

It's unlisted, but it explains my taste in music.

Well, finding glitches was bound to happen.

In this case, with a scrolling boss, the player's trapped on the left side of the screen until there's no solid block there.

I'd better fix that, THEN shrink the gap behind the boss.

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.

I guess I can show these things on April Fools day.

They are NOT going into the Robot Maid game, but they're still in the code.

...another fine mess you got yourself into.

I'd better stop sharing these cutscene moments. I'm almost there.

Do you know how hard it is to get THIS shot?

Like I said, I'm making level thumbnails for the Level Select screen. Also, this gives you a good idea how big the max health bar is.

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.

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

If you think YOU're asking "Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?" then just imagine how I feel every time I have to add little details and bug fixes.

...I'd better make a trailer or pitch reel.

I'm pretty sure I got the save feature working, though I don't know if three save files is acceptable.

Then again, the save features are for Casual Play only. Arcade and Caravan Modes don't let you save your game, for hopefully obvious reasons.
