Colosseum Shooter Devlog #6

Hey everyone, I am here to keep you up to date with upcoming changes and features coming to the game in the future.

Unfortunately due to unseen issues that arose with the snow chasm boss, I have decided to focus on the sewer level for the time being and will add it at a later date.

Sewer Boss

Here is an updated version of the sewer boss. as I said in the last Devlog (#5), I wanted it to look spider-like in its design.

There is a working version of the boss that is working using the old model. It drops bombs behind it after a set amount of time, but so that the level is over crowded with bombs it will only drop one if the boss is out of range of a bomb on the stage or if there is less than a set amount on the stage itself. 

As for the front leg, they are going to act like shields if you shoot them, then the boss won't take any damage.

Now how the boss moves, it will be done by procedural animation due to ramps in the level.

Sewer Gate Changes

The gates have been changed to now be a single gate that opens up and the gaps in the corner are no longer there.

The gate at the end of the tunnel has been changed to a single gate instead of two. I thought it looked better this way instead of there being two gates for enemies to come though. There's a slight elevation to the floor as well.

I was hoping to get both bosses in the game in the next patch but due to the change in plan this won't happen any more. Now the next big update will be in April, which will include the colosseum boss model change, the new exploding enemy and Sewers update that will remove the grid boxing on the level and add the boss to it. 

Next month there will be small patch changes to the game. With the snow chasm boss added at a later date.

So a quick summary of everything in this Devlog. Sewers level changes and boss being added with new design.

Any other change will be added to the patch notes when the next update is released. 

Thanks for reading and I hope you continue to enjoy the game.
