Game
Rock Beyond Time
4 years ago

Well... this is awkward...


Yesterday, I released my new game, Rock Beyond Time. It took me a while to make. So, I had to advertise it. In the process, I put up a post on Dragonian's devlog that this game was released.

...and most of the traffic went to Dragonian.

...okay, then.

Then again, it's probably easier to gravitate toward a game obviously inspired by the Zelda franchise instead of a game inspired by relatively obscure SNES games that were admired by only those who've played it on the only system it released for. Then again, Secret of Mana and Illusion of Gaia were inspired by Zelda games, which is why I ended up playing them.

I can't tell you what to play. If you want to play Dragonian, play Dragonian. If you want to play Rock Beyond Time, play Rock Beyond Time. If you want to play The Other Phalanx, that's on the humorously-named NukeOTron Sucks Collection.

If you want me to join a Game Jam, though, throw me a line.

Anyway, you do what you want. I need to figure out what to do next. (No ninja stuff, though.) I'll probably do bugfixes if any bugs show up, though.

Next up

He's coming back. ...but just this once.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

Oh, no, not again.

At least it's just the player character, but still...

EDIT: It's just her collision box being different for the Hurt frames. Easy to fix. Her sprites all have different collision boxes to keep her ability to duck.

I did Attract Mode first.

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

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

I realize some players just want to play the game and see the story, while others may actually want to use those revival items, so here's a little compromise for you all.

Also, yes, I NEED to put on that "Pro" flag everywhere.

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

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

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

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

Can you tell what needs to be fixed on this screen?

...and if you noticed, is it worth fixing?
