It's time for some fun! Boss fights are one of my favorite things to work on when making video games. Today we'll create some, hopefully, epic bosses inspired by Megaman, Hollow Knight, and heck even Super Mario World.

I've been on a quest for over the last 2 years to release my first major commercial game. It's a lighthearted 2d action/adventure Metroidvania called Dewdrop Dynasty. Think Hollow Knight but with Ocarina of Time Mechanics and a lovable world and characters from Paper Mario. If you've ever thought to yourself "How to make a video game" or "How to release my first indie game" then follow along on my quest as I try to complete mine.

Boss fights are arguably the best part of any video game, and I’m really glad you made the visually distinct with excellent designs.

@Goodgis 5 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! Thanks.

@Ech_The_Sentiant 5 месяцев назад

@@Goodgis no problem! Also, have you considered giving the beetle a fan fire attack?

@ScopeCrepe 5 месяцев назад

@@Ech_The_Sentiant Could you elaborate on fan fire?

@CYON4D 5 месяцев назад

I disagree. For me, most bosses feel like mindless robots that do the same couple of moves over and over in a confined space until their obvious defeat. They were originally used as a difficulty spike in arcade machines that were designed to eat up tokens for more profit. I feel like they are still used as difficulty spikes to break the gameplay loop or artificially increase game duration. But it is a preference so I respect that as well.

@glorkish_james 5 месяцев назад

I like the bosses but I think it’s the overall immersion of the world

@thatonedudelive7260 5 месяцев назад

It would be cool to see a video on what it takes to make an enemy from start to finish. Visuals, thought up attacks, scripting it, animating it.

I hope this game becomes some kind of indie masterpiece like papers please, hollow knight, cave story, rain world, etc.

@KarlFellOffTheCliff 5 месяцев назад

You are one of the only game developer I’m still genuinely rooting for and waiting to see updates! Stay safe and stay strong Goodgis👍

@Goodgis 5 месяцев назад

That seriously means a lot. I'm gonna try to make this the best game that I can!

@OmniCroissant 5 месяцев назад

Nice update. At 1:38 you can see the crow flying away from the Am-bush's explosion (not sure of the name) without a scratch. It would be cool if they could damage other enemies, so you could detonate them strategically during fights.

@Flamsleburger 5 месяцев назад

All of the monsters are so unique in their looks, and attacks. Gotta love all of the Mario inspired mechanics, too. Keep up the amazing work, Goodgis!

@Goodgis 5 месяцев назад

@Luukskywalker 5 месяцев назад

4:01, Maybe you can make it so when you defeat one of them, the others get stronger (perhaps different attacks?)

@Goodgis 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, that could be a cool idea. Like there attacks vary based on how many are left.

@StrawberryFox56 5 месяцев назад

Oh, it will! 2024 or bust!

@zunoar5411 5 месяцев назад

Boss fights are the part I have to think about the most for my game

@zixm12 5 месяцев назад

The wizmo boss fight trio reminds me of the boss at Luigi’s mansion floor 11. Anyway, I have to say, I really like the idea of the clock tower. Maybe you could also make a location with castles and knights. And name it: the forgotten castles

@Neodel 5 месяцев назад

I'm working on making a game myself and your devlogs are really useful to watch for inspiration, im loving ur work so far :)

@bichaelafton 5 месяцев назад

Watching the development unfold has been a great time. I've been working on my own metroidvania and your videos are a huge inspiration / motivator. Your particle effects and animations are INSANE.

@dom_underscore 5 месяцев назад

I love this series! I'll be sure to get this game the second it comes out, I plan to become a game artist with my coder and music friend and these videos have taught and inspired me on game design quite a lot! I can see a lot of the inspirations for the game, mainly mario for the shell spin part of the armadillo boss and the little shapes that appear from the wizard boss are similar to kamek. I love it when game developers do that typa stuff!

@pranavrs184 5 месяцев назад

I have been slowly seeing the progress of Dewdrop Dynasty unfold. I really liked the tutorial and explored it completely. Even my friend seemed excited despite him not being used to liking Metroidvania games. Also, you are one of those who inspired me to code as a hobby

@noahm403 5 месяцев назад

Hey I really love the boss fights and I think the game is coming along great! I think something that could be cool is to have the names of the bosses appear before their fights, I always enjoy that because it gives some more story and makes them feel more official, plus it doesn’t clutter the screen like a normal health bar would but it tells you when a boss fights starting. Hopefully that’s a good suggestion and I can’t wait to play!

@matangoldstien5922 5 месяцев назад

@pawzfordayzstudios7046 5 месяцев назад

Bonzai beetle definitely needs the kind of intro cutscene where a super fancy blown up version of him slides in with the diagonal bars and his name and stuff. Have been watching the progress of this game for a while now, and it’s looking great! I can’t wait to play it and the new area looks amazing! Keep up the good work!

Gizmo's Gearhouse looks very fun to traverse! The pendulums and gears will allow for great and unique platforming. The fact that this is the first Godot metroidvania I heard about makes me even more excited for the game.

@nebaleb 5 месяцев назад

@GilliganTF2 5 месяцев назад

A good thing that could make the gameplay even more enjoyable could be upgrades, every time you kill an enemy you get money, then you can find a seller and buy upgrades for your gun or your character like: Double Jump: your character has double jump but the bullets no longer boost you up More bullets: your gun has 4 bullets but only 2 help you do extra jumps (more intended for boss fights) Faster reload: you already know And so on, the special thing about upgrades could be that you can only use 1, so if you buy them all you could swap before boss fights and see what could be more effective, maybe you can have an upgrades that marks the location of collectables or something cool

@Iloveart553 5 месяцев назад

This is a nice update and I’ve been waiting for the next dewdrop dynasty update so this is really refreshing

@Damimations 5 месяцев назад

These Bosses LOOK SICK im super exited for this game and have been waiting for years cant wait for the release. and happy new year goodgis. and one more thing i think that you should add some more combat mechanics for a bit more variety then just shoot and charge then shoot maybe like a ground pound or a mario stomp to add more movement to the game.

@ismaelanorve 5 месяцев назад

@ianboyer2224 5 месяцев назад

Make sure that it’s clear that you can kill those boomerang guys without any upgrades because with their shields they look a lot like those big baldur beetle things from Hollow Knight that you need a spell to kill. I just think it might be a little unintuitive to lure its shield up to hit its feet if you don’t know that that’s the solution. Great video! Keep going man!

@GamesBySaul 5 месяцев назад

Very nice work! Boss fights are a chance for you to shine and do some badass behaviour, as its where you can have an enemy do some cool and unique behaviour which players won't necessarily see again so may as well make it stand out, and seems like you're doing that!

@mistermamamia 5 месяцев назад

The crows are the new primal aspids I love the bosses, the improvements to bonzai beetle are great. Love the idea for cake dragons.

@valentinfernandezcejas6590 5 месяцев назад

It was nice to see a new devlog! I missed these. Also I like the HP Flower having a face - didn't notice it on previows videos, did you just add it or I just missed it all this time? Also don't know if you remember since I just checked and I commented it more than a year ago lol, but the bullet indicator being right next to the flower feels just right - more than having a gun with the indicator, at least to me. Everything is looking really polished, congratulations!

@maxrdev703 5 месяцев назад

Great video! Boss fights are one of my favourite areas of video games. Cuphead definitely has the best boss fights in my opinion. Dewdrops bosses look great so far!

@FantaisiAnimations 5 месяцев назад

One aspect of boss fights: The map. A good boss fight has a good setting. Maybe a cool background, platforms, and Music. A boss needs cool music.

@ApollousasBear 5 месяцев назад

For the Bonsai Beetle boss, it would be cool to add an attack with a windup that fires 6 rapid shots, like hip firing a revolver quickly like in those Wild West movies.

@user-gs8tn8kj8h 2 месяца назад

@Lukequest 5 месяцев назад

A jester boss that is insanely hard with projectiles coming from all sides and…i dunno like messes with reality like making him bigger or the player bigger and just wonky effects that will make the boss extremely fun (also very fast and circus themed)

The demo is really fun. I found myself subconsciously timing the charge shot to navigate the map faster. The platforming is solid. So wonderful.

@aaronhampton1754 Месяц назад

Boss fights are meant to show off what you learned. I think you should have the boomerangs shield guy have little children you fight before him, one throws boomerangs slowly and the shields slowly to teach the mechanics then have the boss fight. Else slow him down and have him wind up before throwing the boomerangs. He seems a bit quick to block so train the player up on his children/minions or slow down his reaction time

@bonk_animates 5 месяцев назад

@kamilisvaisnoras1862 5 месяцев назад

@dappitydingdong1219 5 месяцев назад

From what I can see it looks like the boss attacks could be better choreographed, like because you know what attacks they are capable and when they might do it but a new player would have no idea
