Who are Psynthetix?


Well, I figure that if I've got your attention, and I'm gonna keep working on my game, I've got to keep you all entertained until then. So, let's talk about Psynthetix for a brief bit.

Psynthetix is a little band formed by Myles Taylor and his best friend, Stride Jackson (second-left). Originally, they were called Stridin' Myles, and played in Myles' garage, with Myles on lead guitar, and Stride on bass. Myles and Stride were good friends at Aront High School. Cindy "Twilight" Wensleydale (second-right) jumped on board shortly after as keyboarder, and they did their hardest to get Hiro Tetsujin (far left) in the band, since he was the best drummer on campus. Jesse Black (far right) was brought on board when they needed a ride to travel around Trula, and a technician. He's proven himself a good backup guitarist later on. (Susan wasn't in the band yet, since her story doesn't begin yet.)

Eventually, they got a manager, named Tom. He's managed a lot of musical acts, including Stabbington and R-Tina. It was thanks to him that they got the name Psynthetix, and their first major gig, the Instruments of Power tour. It produced a hit single for them, Rock Da World Again.

...oh, and they performed a little for the controversial pop singer, R-Tina, on an album called Co-Ed Celebration.

Eventually, they got a second bass approved by Tom, named Scaramouche Faust. Most people call him Scarry. He has a nasty tendency to steal Stride's riffs, and he's much older than the rest of the band. He'll be disowned due to monster-summoning reasons that will be explained in the game.

Of course, after a certain incident, Susan would join the band, but we'll get to that story when the game comes out.

Next up

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

No, this is not the final boss. This is the boss of the last mainline level. There's a difference.

Also, I'm so glad I can pull off stuff like this. There'll be two more forms, though.

In case nobody noticed before, a lot of elements of the Robot Maid game come from the Shiro Ninja games, and ideas I would've done for a sequel. This guy is gonna behave like a similar guy from Shiro Ninja Mayhem, but fit this game's art style.

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.

What do you do when one enemy type you used before doesn't show up well on your new level's background?

Draw new graphics.

It's a good thing the previous variation was already skeletal, so I can just give it skin and swim trunks.

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

Too much?

There are only so many ways to draw starbases, and all of them require a window into space. This one happens to also be a factory.

I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.

I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.

A rather interesting thing I forgot about...

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...
