Neos2 Boss, Poll results, and other progress.

Heyo everyone! As most of you know, this week was focusing on the boss of Neos2. I don't believe I have even shown off concepts for it, but now it's all done up. Before I get into it I want to go over a few other things here.

I want to announce is the winner of the poll!

The clear winner was "Maid Outfit/Sex". Due to the content, it is very likely this means the maid outfit and HScene will be with Lana.

Also, an update on the new batch of voice work. All the retakes and lines are in, and have all been processed as well. This means that next week will be implementation. You can expect the new batch of VA work to be live in the upcoming update!

Finally, I'm a bit behind on it, but alongside this post, I will be posting the high res images for the Groupies tier.

Alright! So let's take a look at the boss. For now he is unnamed, but the premise is that a jealous ex boyfriend of Pom has taken up the reigns where Pom's virus left off.

This fight will be quite a bit different from the Pom fight, but have some similarities.

So what are the attacks like, and how does the fight pan out?

You will essentially be doing a sort of figure 8 loop around this boss. You will come down the entrance shaft, go left or right around the boss. You will then go into a pipeline. You will zip through this pipeline avoiding obstacles until you cycle back to the entrance shaft. Unlike the Pom fight, you will not move left and right freely, and will be stuck on a static rail.

To Start:

In the main entrance, your speed will slow right down, and the boss will fire his Tommy Gun at you. You will need to avoid sitting in the red lines. You cannot barrel roll these.

Right after, he will shoot his Tommy gun again, but with a more basic laser.

After that, he will fire wildly into the air, opening gas leaks, taking a puff, and tossing his cigar to ignite the fumes.

With this, the player will be pulled into the first pipe to cycle around.

These wires are to be avoided, or destroyed. These wires have a special property where dealing damage to them will also hurt the boss. Use this opportunity to deal extra damage to the boss. It may be a bit tough, however, as your speed increases quite a bit in here.

Something to note is that Boosting and Braking doesn't have an effect on this boss fight except in this pipe. Having Nika could help secure extra damage on these wires.

Once you come out of this pipe, you will be right back at the entrance. Every single time you come out of this pipe, you will be attacked by the boss' first Tommy Gun attack.

This time, however you will be going down his left side. He won't be utilizing his gun on this side. He will start with a swipe.

Then he will go into a somewhat familiar attack.

This move functions very similarly to Pom's slam move. The difference is he will use his massive brain to increase gravity on you... essentially pulling you down to the smoke. You will need to pull up to avoid getting sucked into it.

That sums up the current line up of attacks.

As mentioned, next week is mainly going to be focusing on the implementation of all the new VA work. If there is time, I will try and knock off a few other things, but I'll be sure to report on it on the Friday! Thanks again everyone, and I'll catch you all then!
