It's Alive!

.
/* */
So, I'm alive. Had some stuff happening, went on vacation, had some computer troubles, but I'm alive.

I solved some technical problems that were making it just about impossible to work on Koopa 2. Before you ask, still not done world 3. I'm working on several other projects right now.

Power of Three, I've been working on, on and off, since it started. Expect to see that eventually. Looking good so far, can't say much because it's not entirely mine to talk about. Maybe at a later date.

Another project of mine is a Flash Game, sort of an 8-bit NES style. Also somewhat secretive. I'd like this one to remain pretty much in the closet until it's ready. Currently about 60-70% done.

I'm also making a webcomic, due to start September first. I wanted to try something different, as in not a flash game. I'm thinking it will be a three comics per week thing, but if I can get maybe forty or so done before launch date I may do five per week or even daily. I've gotten dozens of strips written but only about ten made up so far.

Aside from those I have a few projects I'm not actively working on (meaning I haven't worked on them in a few months) including a cartoon about the evils of Switzerland, and that physicsy platformer. I'll also be doing some minor changes to my website layout. For one thing it's going to be wider, it's outdatedly narrow.

Over and out.

Worlds 5 and 6 don't really have anything as far as bosses go.

inspectertaz 2010-08-16 13:53:38

whats the theme for 5 and 6?

Lambtaco 2010-08-16 13:53:38

Sky and ice.

Hi! I know a song for boss battles you could do the same boss music (Falling demons) as you did for the first koopa's revenge. That's all I could think of. When will it be done?

Lambtaco 2010-08-20 16:23:54

I don't want to repeat any songs. I can't say when it will be done because I'm always wrong.

for sky boss you can make an airplane

attacks:

dashing: goes from left to right and the opposite way a few times
bombing attack: flies on top of the screen and drops bombs from the sky
crazy homing missle: shoots a missle that tries to go after you, but after it gets out of control and goes crazy and crashes into the airplane and falls down on the platform (chance to attack)

for ice boss i think of having an ice cream

ice cream roll: throws huge ice creams like bowling balls at you
slush attack: showers slush in random places, making the player freeze for a few
Recool: opens the 'fridge' behind the boss and enters it and stays for a few seconds (chance to attack)

hits: fridge: 5, ice cream: 1

also 2 enemies for ice level

popsicle: acts like penguins and slides when sees player
Slushie: shoots slush that freezes the koopa when sees player

I like some aspects of the airplane. like how it shoots itself. Maybe a boss that you have to make shoot itself.

Not digging the icecream. But I do like the idea of having popsicles as enemies, maybe not as you described them though.

New Ideas

Boss: Snowman

World: Ice

Attacks:

1: throws snowballs at you (sometimes high sometimes low)
2: ice spikes drop from the ceiling all over the stage
3: nose carrot acts like a rocket and then stops at a certain time

snowman hops or slides slowly after the carrot (chance to be attacked)

another boss in case you didnt like the snowman

Boss: Banana Split

1: spawns a few ice enemies until you kill them all
2: shoots tiny bananas like a rocket at you, high or low
3: holds out its big banana and smashes on you

After it tries to smash you, it will take a few seconds to try get back into the banana split, so you get the chance to attack the banana. trying to attack the ice cream will just make you slip off. (sort of like a whomp in SM64 or SMG2)

Lambtaco 2010-08-27 14:07:06

I think a snowman is too anthropomorphised.

I'm not a fan of bosses spawning enemies. It seems lazy on the part of the designer. Otherwise, not a bad idea, but I don't think I'll use it.

Thanks anyway.

ok. another idea...

Boss(es):

1: Name: Toad Bros (ice or air)
NOTE: two toads which looks almost the same except either different colors, cloathing size etc etc.

1: start throwing hammers high and low, catching them
2: goes in the center of the arena and one of them spins the other and he starts spinning all around the stage after you. will fall down and dizzy for a few (chance to attack)
3: After the 'spinner' gets defeated, the other Toad will go crazy and throw the hammers randomly. he gets dizzy and another chance to attack.
4: when both are defeated, they stand back up and jump on each other, they do a final big spin attack and fall down.
