Great idea to start from existing NPCs. I sometimes think it's quite nice to have bigger NPCs as bosses in the early game but then later have them appear as normal enemies to show the player how far they're progressed.

His precepts helped me to resist the infection, specifically precept 56, “Do not dream.” I also once almost drowned in the British Channel, but I remembered precept 44, “You cannot breathe water” and I was okay. I am, however, ashamed to say I once forgot precept 36, “Eggshells are brittle,” and accidentally broke a nosk egg. In repentance for this, I recited the 57 precepts 57 times in the name of the Invincible, Fearless, Sensual, Mysterious, Enchanting, Vigorous, Diligent, Overwhelming, Gorgeous, Passionate, Terrifying, Beautiful, Powerful, Grey Prince Zote.

Favorite npc is zote the mighty from hollow knight. He's not very technically applicable but you could do something really fun with having to save a character in a random room and then have that character be a jerk about it. An idea I had for an NPC in one of my games was a large serpent or spider female character in a really creepy den or nest or something. This character would pose a bit of an alluring threat like a crazy ex girlfriend but it comes with some possible benefits... Like a crazy ex girlfriend. Bonus points if you make it an attractive creepy character.

My favourite npc has to be Leshy from Inscryption. However, since Leshy roleplays every single npc you meet in-game, my favourite "sub npc" is the Trapper. The Trapper is very handy, because he will give you pelts, in exchange for teeth. These pelts can be exchanged, at the Trader, for cards. The reason I love the Trapper is because in the the third level, he turns on you and tries to kill you, which I didn't expect on my first playthrough. Also, he has one of the best boss themes in the game.

My favourite NPC would probably either be Zote the Mighty from Hollow Knight or the Resourceful Rat from Gungeon. I really enjoy the aspect of an annoying, sometimes even comedic character who you get to later take out your frustration on in a boss fight. Coincidentally, the Rat fight is also one of my favourite boss fights due to how personal it feels, because he’s just so annoying and you really want to kick his teeth in.

my favourite npc is patches from the souls games, just meeting him is quite the experience,and in almost all souls games it goes like meet friendly npc ->promise reward for menial task ->kick you down into a very dangerous/entire new area ->survives and meet him again -> accept his apology -> meet him again ->he's a shopkeeper now->meet him again in a random ass place -> trick again (more likely you're just curious and knowing full well its a trick)->survive and meet him again for him to be a permanent shopkeeper. This dialogue of his imo is i think a good representation of his character "every age it seems is tainted by the greed of men.rubbish to one such as ,i devoid of all worldly wants"

Huh. That's interesting. 🤔 Would people maybe then intentionally die to restart and get the shop that next time? Maybe an NPC that can sell you 1 upgrade, but only spawns after you lose a round where you beat the first boss. So you can't just restart to get the item, and you'll be encouraged to "at least" make it to the first boss each run. 🤔

Groose (Skyward Sword) is my favorite NPC because he felt like an actual character with world permenance who made progress, epic mechanical use, had flaws, and a character arc. A good second is Arcterus Mengsk from StarCraft 1. Solid character who drives the plot and does stuff even when the player isn't around. He's clever, keniving, and manipulative. You're always on your toes when he's nearby.

Also, the Mission Control character in Deep Rock Galactic adds tons of charm to the game, even if he’s just a disembodied voice that chimes in occasionally with information or comedic comments

Bit late with this one but.. Nico from Legend of Mana. He's woefully out of touch with everyone's feelings but good-natured which leads to some hilarious exchanges where he screws people out of money but thinks they should be happy with the exchange. In the game's combat when you recruit him as an NPC fighter he also has an attack called "a gift for you" which is a present-shaped bomb.

The base version of this game is in the engine as a template game if you want to build off of it to make your own game! 👍 But it doesn't remember the dungeon, so if you want to have real dungeons that you can revisit and explore, then you'd definitely need to use the dungeon extension. Or come up with something else. 🤔

@@HelperWesley I have a random number generator that if = 1 then it sets the players position to the level but if I add enemies and you get on a different level the enemy will just follow you so I did the rectangle movement but it kind of sucks because all the enemies will move the same

My favorite npcs are Zote and Quirrel from Hollow Knight. I really love the kind of npc that you can just run into anywhere, and feels like they got their own things going on. (Quirrel is more of a real traveler like that, but Zote just has such an amazingly ridiculous personality I love him too)

Ooooh. I do remember hearing about that in Hollow Knight. 🤔 It might be complicated, but I could make a "respite" room that spawns from time to time, that'll have npcs or lore in them. 🤔

@@HelperWesley Or maybe you could take inspiration from skul the hero slayer, where you have nps that are stuck in cages in some levels. In that game they don't usually have much to say, but it's another way to implement npcs in a maybe more organic way?

For the final release, all enemies should have way more health to make the game much harder. I feel like most games releasing lately have been not so challenging so hopefully this game will be a bit harder than the standart

I think I had "god mode" on while recording this video, each enemy takes 3-4 hits hits to kill with default stats and get exponentially tougher as you play. 👍

change imp king to have an invisible forcefield around him that hits you so you actually have to run from him and make him have more bullets with his slam attack so you can't just walk to dodge it

Super super cool, this is looking great. My only problem with it is that you just…scaled up the bosses. This makes your pixel size inconsistent and makes the game look a lot uglier in my opinion. I think the gameplay is amazing though!

It's 100% not a good way to do pixel art. But I decided from the beginning that I wasn't going to spend too much time worrying about the art and just "get it done" before my attention span gives out. lol. Maybe once it is done, and if I still have energy to spend on the game, I'll go back and give them something better. 🤞

Nice choice using familiar enemies as the first few bosses, digging the look of the assets too 👌 I do think for the first boss however, the delay window between those two fire balls is too small. I can see a player easily being overwhelmed from dodging the first few balls and then needing to immediately dodge the second wave; and then there's an additional phase when he shoots out 3? Could be that you're used to playing the game while developing it, that the mechanic seems easy to predict and avoid (because you know it's coming lol). But I'd imagine you'd do a lot of balancing before putting out a demo!

Oh most definitely, I can fix that issue with a tweak in the animation speed or by adding a few more frames to help telegraph the attack. That'll hopefully all come out in the wash when I host a private beta and people start giving me some harsh feedback after playing it. 👍

It was an object "picking" issue, so I ended up "picking" the one closest the the boss' center point. Which will almost always be the one it's firing. It might occasionally misfire if something is perfectly in the same frame.... But it would be too rare for me to worry about. 😅
