Just don't finish it! abandon it when it's really close to being finished and you've just got that "one last feature" that will take "no time at all" so "why bother rushing?"! On an unrelated note, anyone know what "reoccurring personal anecdote" means

Awesome bosses fight you've outdone yourself man

You should ad a boss made out of a bunch of weird computer parts who has attacks involving interacting with buttons on the map that you can stand to change the attack or do something else. His final faze be a giant mech that is the stage meaning you walk on him and shoot weak spots (could be anything) that appear on him. This might be a bit complicated but if the mech platform thing was a cube you could walk on all sides of it flipping the stage?

i think a visual change that would be nice to the phase 3 spin attack would be adding little wind lines in each frame of the spin

what art program?

aint no way we fighting Illuminati 🙏

make the arena fall cracking progressively leaving less space to stand

oh hey Mr. Cipher is in the game now

Do you need music for this game?

"i love glorbo"

make it so that he switches from a touhou boss to a fucking ultrakill prime boss with a whole moveset to memorize

You should make if you wait for two hours for the triangle it will get a bonus phase

Maybe for a new boss if you’re gonna make one you could make it so you briefly have to shoot a cannon that shoots a bigger bullet that damages the boss.

death toll be opon ye (might be an idea)

What is the game?

You should add like a big bullet that can be charged up like the one in cuphead

Hey i like your videos you dont have a lot fo subs but i believe in you(:

hey, this is a pretty good video, and its cool to see you make clean art with such limited tools. If you want better art programs I'd highly recommend Aseprite as basically the definitive pixel art software (or libresprite as a free alternative if you cant shell out the $20 for aseprite)

hey lmk if you need a 2d pixel artist for this.

Would be a funny detail if beating a boss no hit added like a little relic to a pause screen or the level select like beating the pyramid no hit shows the little pyramid stuck in a display case like in a museum looking around terrified

You should really make a custom editor with preset patterns and the option to make custom bullet paterns and bullets

reminds me of just shapes and beats, I love it! Definitely subbing.

6:23 piskel actually haves a dithering tool, but I also always forget it 😅

Also do you have a idea for the name???

Add a cicada dosent matter where dosent matter how just do it

maybe make the yellow indicators summoning circles

The art program he uses is Piskel fyi

Is the game will be free? just asking it(totally not a poor)

hey okay_cam, need music for your game. i do music so if u want ill make u musics for the bosses but of course im not doing it freely

You could make it so that the player gets a new shooting style after each boss which adds another attack to the basic shooting. So the first boss could have a string bullet attack and the second could have the eyes just to keep it on theme with the boss’s attack.

You should make the bosses apart of groups like isles and as you go you can decide if you want more bosses

this is amazing!!! I think its really smart of you to be realistic with the scope and this already seems like an amazing boss as is

Dude. This is fucking awesome

Wonderful to see that the bosses appear with much more intentionality then previous devlog! Some improvement that could be done is the bullets are a bit small, and slow. Possibly making them bigger, and using a shape/animation to indicate velocity as well would be good. Some patterns that are faster would be good as well. Just a suggestion but, if this is going to be a short game, you can use a time scalar increase as a way to increase challenge without too much work, then itll be a challenge of how long the player will last!

I think the springy hose was cool. Good job 2:09

where can i play a demo? looks great

I have an Idea, what if you made a second attack that was slower, but dealt more damage. Idk if this is hard to code, but I think it would be a nice addition.

Egg

BEEEEEAAAAAAMMMM

Suggestion for a boss Some kind of work card or magician character who whould be able to make things harder for their fight by doing stuff like inverting your controls, removing your ghost ability for a bit or flipping the screen upside down

Triangle with eye!!! Bill cipher reference!!!

love the progress so far! keep up the good work

For when the Eyes launching you off you should make an animation where blue electricity charges upon the eye and then creates a small electric explosion that launches the player off and for the other boss you could make a new animation basically doing the same thing but red or just take that animation and recolor it red (Btw the blue electricity is inspired off of the blue knockback projectiles so I suggest going for that shade of blue )

i saw the blue bullets, and now I'm imagining a boss that only uses blue attacks. idk what else to say lol

Can you add a new projectile (purple) that only hurts the player in ghost form? They'd move slower overall, but still pose a threat as the player decides between dodging regular or ghost projectiles.

Bro this game is really cool man. I love these devlogs. Good luck :)

bro this is honestly epic af, found this while looking for inspiration and this looks so promising. Nothing better than a game made with passion. Keep up the work my man you gained a new supporter in me

Dino boss

6:11 thats just... bill cipher

It's Bill!
