Reeper (again)

[Misery]

Speaking of Hard mode, I've just realized there's a boss that doesnt have a hard mode variant.

And one that started out that way and needs a normal variant.

Aaaaaaaaand I totally forgot.  Ugh.  I knew I wasnt going to hit release without forgetting SOMETHING.

[Cinth]

Meh.  Work on it in time.  Enjoy the release.

[Misery]

If I recall correctly there's no further updates being pushed until Monday anyway.   Chris is off for the weekend, as is the usual schedule.  He had *alot* to do in the period up until launch, it was seriously nuts.  Hoping that he gets some rest along with everyone else.

I need time to actually come up with ideas to make these changes anyway.  Well, the one that needs a reduction is relatively easy.  The one that needs a hard mode pattern is not, as it involves Backfire, the one boss that I think is a bit broken; I've been very, very tempted to disable the thing until fixed.  I had made it very early on and then disabled it after a problem was found, and literally forgot about it until a few days ago.  But it's still kinda problematic.  Thinking up an additional attack for that one will be annoying.  I at least have an easy solution to the "hide behind it and never get hit" problem now though.

The real fun though will come when it's time to make the Misery-level patterns, and the ultra-boss.  Well, fun for me anyway.   Havent determined how the ultra-boss is to be found/reached yet though.

[Cinth]

I remember Backfire *shudders*.

[Misery]

What, did it do something bizarre or broken that it wasnt supposed to?

It's good at that.  Really good.

[Cinth]

Dude, I ran into him once before it got disabled. 

I was caught off guard by the pattern and got killed pretty quick like.

[Misery]

Was the Reaper changed?  I ran into it just now and it never used it's whip attack.  Just kept making a beeline at me.  Which makes it alot easier to take down.

[Cinth]

Yeah, though I thought Pepi got it added back.  Chris disabled it because I complained about it (a lot).

hu sounds like we could have done with a bit more time if some things like that aren't implemented yet shame really (and before somebody points this yes I'm aware the dead line was forced) still I don't think anybody out side here has noticed(and probably won't for a good long while) so all's well that ends well I suppose.

Yeah, I hate not having the Misery mode ready on launch, but.... that deadline, ugh.   Believe me, we were all a bit frustrated by it.  It was definitely annoying.  I now know what "crunch time" really means.

That mode not being entirely there though is actually pretty obvious; I think the game actually says so when you go to select it.

Right now there's sort of a temporary "hard mode with additional spawner wackiness" mode in it's place.  Which is still a tough challenge.  But yeah, the actual full mode will take some time.  It was a low priority compared to everything else.

There's a few small things I'm going to do first, but then I'm going to do that mode, and the special boss that goes along with it.

I actually meant that ultra boss you were talking about I wasn't aware at all that he wasn't implemented (I'm assuming that rodneys the final boss as strange as it may seem) so that's why I said that but regardless all things considered its a cracking game.

[Misery]

Oh, yeah, that boss.  Well, that boss is going to take MUCH longer than all of the others anyway, definitely.... gonna be a freaking nightmare to test. 

Though, I wouldnt be jamming it into the game without the rest of the mode finished anyway.  Everyone's gonna have to go through the rest of the hyper-crazy bosses to get to THAT guy, heh.   I'll be interested to see if anyone manages to take the awful thing down.

I wouldn't be surprised probably not by my self though I mean maybe if I smash my head on it enough times but I don't know if Id have the motivation still...I might try out hard mode when I eventually beat the warden out of curiosity.
