addedBossfight - a new challenge awaits you.This month was all about creating the boss fight for the sulfite ground. Creating a boss enemy is always a fun process but also a bit taxing. The goal is to create a specific gameplay element that is different for each boss. As important is to use both characters' capabilities. Leif nor Ghost should be bored during the fight. Similar to the level I start with some rough ideas. Thereafter I block out the elements that are now to this boss enemy. To see if the ideas do work as planned. If this is successful the next step is to add the other attacks and movements. To see if all movements work together. During the whole process, a lot of playtesting is needed. I also make sure the art assets and animations do look good. And in the end, we hopefully have an engaging and challenging boss fight.
addedThe Bard - a new faceSince the singer for the intro has changed I also wanted to adapt the representation of his character as the bard. So, say hello to the new bard and have a look at his lute playing skills. If you haven't seen the intro video yet. Check it out below.
changedHave a great holiday season!The Christmas season is just around the corner and it's getting dark outside my office window very early again. I wish you all a great festive season and a good start to the winter season.

Cutscenes - The story needs to be told.
Since this boss is the last level boss, the story of course also slowly comes to a head. Therefore, cutscenes are needed that properly set the scene for the individual characters and advance the story. For this, I have made a few streams on Twitch and Steam in the last few days. The streams will be available for a few days. But maybe I'll make a Youtube video out of it later in a shorter form.
