Frank's first boss

I went to sleep for a long time. I woke up at around midnight. I began working on my idea for the first boss Frank faces at the end of the game. I had quite the time with programming it in. I had to change background screens mid-action, so as a result, I had to turn off the screen to load a screen in and then turn it on. The result, while you can notice the screen does turn off for a few frames, it isn't too bad, so I think I have to keep it in (Any other GB programmers who can shed light on how to do this better, let me know.)

 

I said the bosses would be bears. Well, as it turns out, I can't draw bears. At all. They end up looking like people, especially if they're on their hind legs (I don't know how Gary Larson does it). So I changed the bears to cats. Cats are much easier for me to draw. So Frank needs to sneak by the cat without waking it up. How you wake it up and how not to do it, I'll leave for you to discover.

 

I got another homebrew game from incube8. When Frank the Fruit Fly is finished, I'll ask them if they'd like to publish it. I noticed their MagiPanels game has a battery in it, so I think  they could do it if they wanted (Frank the Fruit Fly uses a battery.)

 

My stomach is a lot better. Still not 100%, but much better than it was yesterday. At least I don't have to get up every 10 minutes or so to rush to the bathroom.
