More Boss Prototyping

The boss fight prototyping continues, and we've made a bunch of changes and additions! First of all, the actual background has been added, which gives the fight a slightly more serious feel, but we've also added the proper graphics for some attacks such as the water ball thing: 



And we've also edited on of his skills slightly, namely the skulls he summons: 


Previously these skulls were only visible in the spirit world, which meant you had to swap back into the regular world to avoid them. Now though, we've made sure some of the skulls are in the regular world as well, making avoiding them slightly harder!

We still want to improve this fight slightly, but now it's more about patterns more than anything - we're kind of happy with what he does, just not the timings for when and in what order. In this version of the prototype seen above, he tends to randomly summon things for you to avoid, but we have since then made him go into various phases instead, meaning he'll have a period of simply attacking followed by a period of summoning things for you to avoid. The second part will then feature both the bullet hell elements as well as dodging his regular attacks at the same time .

I think we're really making progress with this and hopefully the finalized boss fight will be done soon - it definitely feels a lot closer to it now, anyway!
