Looks like we’re gonna keep the original but I’ll still make the simplified version an option by toggling through 1-2

Btw a quick tip, use the Blend behavior and set it to 1 in the lights

Using no blend gives a decent light effect and it kind of looks like the sprite is just behind an orange veil. With Blend it makes the sprite look like it glows more and gives a more accurate light look. Both work, mostly a matter of preference

(Setting Blend to 4 gives a more in-between look)

How good, in performance and fun, is the first boss of the game?
  • Good
  • Terrible
  • Needs more work

There needs to be some visual cue on you actually hitting the boss, otherwise, it’s hard to tell if you’re hitting it (this would be a nice addition to all enemies). The burst that comes from the stomp seems like it needs a little bit of work.

Also, how much life does the boss have? Some sort of indicator would be nice (Maybe every time it gets hit its health bar is shown, this works both as a visual cue and a way to see the life the boss has, just an idea).

As someone who died to the boss(more then once) i really dont think i should be one to say if its good or not lol i have yet to beat it XD

I also haven’t beaten it (haven’t tried a lot either) but I have no idea how close I was to defeating it because there is no indicator of its life (Another idea is to display the life at the top of the screen, similar to bosses in Minecraft or Hollow Knight)

hollow knight doesn’t display boss health, it shows you health via having the boss stagger every dozen hits to indicate that you’re dealing damage to it

I’ve only seen ~2 videos of Hollow Knight, guess I remembered it incorrectly
