Made some headway with JANITR today

I've been extremely frustrated with the way the physics was being handled in my JANITR project for a time now. What I was aiming for was easy implementation of physical trades, without having to actually have physics in the game. In GameMaker I was switching physics on and off for a couple of weeks - I knew how easy it would be to get JANITR to do what I wanted with add_force and such under the physics structure, but to avoid the setup that comes with the physics based levels and objects would be super beneficial for me.

So now, a couple of days ago and today I scripted my way out of it... Yes it's crude, it's rough and it's super hacky. Corner-cases are just being taken care of as I scripted the shit, and that is just how it is going to be. I kind of like that things are being "hard-coded" like the games of olden days, such as Mario Bros. Where physics was non existent and therefore things like gravity and forces being applied to the objects and characters were written into the game the hard way.

I'm happy with the result, given the time it took to implement it.

Here have some gifs!

Slow frame rate, but nice colors and no compression. 

Also check this recharge station, it'll mainly do what it sounds like it should do!

Jant is quite a big bot

Here is the Janitor Unit compared to people ->

This was made with Piskel - a completely amazing pixel art animation kit. Piskelapp.com

Piskel saves out as png and gif and all sorts of cool stuff. Here is the animation as a gif: 

Pretty neat!

Helmet Game HD fakery

More design and a short video of how the HD remake of a nonexistent game could look like.

The blopgun, the dragon gun and the plastic sword you've seen in the pixel version of this game. See it here: Helmet Game

The military grade heavy duty bobbler is also from my ancient Helmet Game gamemaker project.

And here the short test which I promised to dig out if possibly possible. Made in AE overnight.

Finger That Shit

Before I realized that this game was already being made (I think it wasn't made by then (past tense)) - a friend and I was talking about this touch game, which I wanted to call "Finger That Shit" - and I still would! Blinking smiley, happy smiley, blinking smiley.

Here is the video:

Well the concept is viable. I guess there are a couple of offerings though, but nothing with this attitude and angle.
On another note, it is soo much fun to make a fake video of a game.
