Badniks & Bosses

Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
And AMEN! (Although I do have to admit I might actually enjoy this kind of stuff.)

Also, I like the idea of the coconuts exploding and releasing shrapnel.
But another question I have:
The water-arch-hazard-thing in CPZ, is that still going to be a sequence of blue balls, or is it actually going to be liquid? OR at least some glowing orb droplets?

 

We'll probably keep that just a series of balls. We're keeping other things like that such as the... Whatever the fuck nessie: lava edition is called, I forget. I don't think there will be much reason to change it. That and I really have no idea what we're going to do with Chemical Plant yet.

 

Thanks for the update. Just goes to show that assumption is the mother of all fuck ups.

 

Personally I'm just hanging around waiting until I might be able to help somehow. If anything comes up that really suits me I'll get right into it. I do hope the alpha gets people talking again (well it's bound to at least for awhile). But for now I'm happy to just check up every now and then like everyone else. It's something to look forward to!

 

I just think it would be better to actually keep submitting tangible stuff rather than posting ideas for the hypothetical "hard mode" that will be made once the game's finished. That is all.

 

What kind of ideas are you looking for, exactly (perhaps be more specific than "anything", if possible)?

 

Some CPZ mockups perhaps? Maybe we should go back to CNZ or NGHZ. (Sorry, forgot the real name momentarily)

 

For an idea to make CPZ boss harder, perhaps extend the amount of liquid that comes out of Eggman/Robotnik's vehicle?

Secondly, perhaps Robotnik could put some sort of 'Sonic-proof barrier' up while he fills his machine with its hedgehog-killing liquid?

 

I vote just put him up higher instead of the barrier.

 

An alternative to a 'barrier' is that he somehow electrifies his vehicle while he's filling up (or leave that for another boss fight?)

 

I think it's a good idea and we should definitely keep it in mind, even if not for Chemical Plant.
Oh my gosh, imagine how hard Mecha Sonic would be if he was electrified while sliding. :v:

 

So what badniks should be worked on next, guys?

 

Anything from Chemical Plant will be highest on the priority list of things to do.

 

Allright then: This blue-orbed fucker right here.



Let's fix him.


Do we make him more fluid or (when he moves in an arc) more mechanic?

 

Is that even a badnik? Can it even be killed invincibility power-up or otherwise?
Because if there is no furry friend living inside it, there is no reason to preserve it as a "character" by leaving it with character-like features.
(I.e. it should be completely redesigned as the liquid that it is) And make it look like a fluid instead of balls.

 

I think it is supposed to be composed of spheres, think about the one near the end of the 1st act it jumps from one point in the floor to another a liquid wouldn't do that without going all over the place.

EDIT: I don't think it can be killed, but perhaps we should make it killable if the player is invincible
