Some Boss Gifs (Patron Early Access)

I've been working on the angles and animations for the bosses, as well as sketching out some of the rest of the bosses for the game (2 more to come), & I wanted to share those with you on Patreon. There's also statue like boss that I am working on. I'm not sure about the design yet, but I figured I would share that as well. Here's what I'm working with. This post is accessible early to patrons.

Caterpestula

• Caterpestula Concept (how the parts will fit together)

• Caterpestula Parts. Caterpestula is a caterpillar like boss which charges at the player. You destroy parts of the boss, one at a time. If you mistakenly destroy parts in the mid section, the boss will split into 2 parts. As the boss releases its parts, it also becomes faster. Watch out because this caterpillar is a caterkiller. Was that cheesy enough for ya?

Death

• Idle Animation. This boss quickly dashes at the player with its scythe. If the player avoids the attack, the boss uses the eye in its hand to fire lasers at the player. On the second phase, the boss throws its head at the player, which bounces around the room. The hand-eye will also shoot lasers at the player during this stage. On the third phase, the boss does a spin slash at the player, bouncing around the room. Before the boss stops it puts the eye from its hand into the slot in its forehead. It then rips off it's head & throws it at the player, bounces around the room, as it spins & shoots lasers. The boss slows down its own spinning in place in order to catch the skull, where it becomes vulnerable for a short moment.

Armored Knight Statue

• Idle. This boss could change attack phases based on a timer trigger, or other triggers that you would place. More on this boss later.

Hot Rope

Idle (Not final animation). I think you might know where the inspiration for this boss is from, & what it will do. But basically, this boss will throw out a fire chain & rotate it in a circle. the player could swipe these fires with his sword to put them out, or jump over them. The chained fires would replenish over time. Sometimes, the chain he will throw will include his burning heart, which, if struck, will cause him to lose health. You could also use an ice wand to freeze him for a short period of time, making this boss a cinch in it's earlier phases, before he raises up the heat & really starts cookin'!
