Boss ideas for adventure ideas



Above is the concept that I ended up going with. A giant Archdemon with fire attacks, massive strength, and wings. 






1. Archdemon (Page 1)
-General Idea/Theme: Giant monster 
-Visual Feedback: Roaring, the environment being destroyed,
          After you damage his hands enough, he will be knocked momentarily down to your level so you can wail on his head and "actually" damage him. 
-Movement Around the Space: mostly the giant, nearly screen sized enemy smashing down onto the player
-Attacks:
    1: Fist Smash: Heavy damage dealing AOE attack with growing shadows to show where they are going to land.
    2: Flame Breath: Patterns of DOT flames. (Different colored flames will be different patterns)
    3: Portals: Open up dark demonic portals in order to spawn in random enemies. Stepping on the portals will slow players but not damage them.
-Three Stages:
    1: Fight on the helipad section. Lots of telegraphed fist smash attacks, fists are persistent, you have to hit the fists in order to get the  (Helipad is destroyed when the Archdemon gets angry and smashes the helipad)
    2: Lowercity: Helipad crash and the player wakes up in the lower city (Adds flame attack then before)
    3: Lowercity Crater: Archdemon smashes the central area and opens up the ground; (cracks with lava in them). The cracks can be teleported over.
-Display HP: the monster roars in agony when hit enough. Possibly bleeding (basic particles)  environmental destruction


2: Corrupted Magic Man (Page 2)

-General Idea/Theme: Master Magician 
-Visual Feedback:  
-Movement Around the Space:  Floating above the arena and deploying attacks, until vulnerable and floating down to the arena to be hit. 
-Attacks:
    1:  Lighting shower: MANY missile like strikes around the play area. (many small damaging attacks)
    2:  Portals:  Open up dark demonic portals in order to spawn in random enemies. Portals can be destroyed; portals don't damage players.
    3:  Sweep: Massive, slow moving barrier that player must teleport "through" in order to evade being swiped into dangerous areas/out of zones.
-Three Stages:
    1:  Helipad: Magic man summons a meteor to destroy the helipad and send the player to the lower city.
    2:  Lower city: Helipad crash and the player wakes up in the lower city. Adds portal attack to add additional enemies.
    3:  Multiplicity: The magic man splits into three of himself; increasing the amount of attacks deployed; also adds permanent, non-destructible portals are created to ensure there is A LOT of monsters all over the place. (Only one of the magic men is the real one, the other two are one hit kills that re spawn pretty quickly)
-Display HP: Cape/skin tearing. Bleeding, environmental destruction 





Inspiration/Research

"Goliath- Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2" Destroys the stage as you fight him; you can't defeat him until you get to a certain point, and this is after A LOT of environmental destruction and fighting waves of smaller enemies on top of the big boss enemy you must deal with; (More enemies and more attacks to damage you and your team).

Exploring Projectiles- Choosing my ammo

In class we learned about three separate ways to create projectiles in Unreal Engine, Line Tracing, Spawn Projectile, and Spawn Physics actors, each tailored towards different types of weapons/other projectiles. For bullets, lasers and other more instantaneous-esc moment, line tracing proved to be the most effective, as it easily travels the fastest, but wouldn't be as accurate a projectile system as the projectile spawning system. The projectile spawn system is just how it sounds, pre-built with "fake physics" that are less taxing on the game engine, and allow for simplistic additions to how they interact with the game environment, other actors, etc; though it can be difficult to implement true physics with this projectile and the nature of it being pre-built means that once you break it, it becomes difficult to repair. The last actor is more very adaptable, but has to be built from the ground up, the "spawn physics actor" puts any SM through the physics engine

Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis

Megaman X Tutorial Level Analysis Jarod Reizian Frank Anyone whose played a Megaman game before knows how well structured and paced the games are, showing small conflicts and minor threats prior to combining them in crazy scenarios to keep things interesting; while simultaneously testing the player’s ability. In classic Megaman fashion the level layout is designed to introduce small obstacles in controlled environments prior to combining threats in challenging manors. You start out in a flat zone with no enemies, allowing you to push buttons and run around on your own. The first flying enemies you encounter are not only slow, but start their attacks nearly off screen from you, giving you plenty of time to see that not only is stage destruction possible, (their attacks crush bits of the floor out) but also that certain enemies are only able to be hit while jumping. And the two mini-bosses crash down and take you to a chasm environment in which you cant get out using just running

Thumbnails for Arena "Game Commercial"

My general idea for this game would be to emulate a lot of the cheesy, early 90;s-2000's "epic" commercials, similar to Hot Wheels with showing just how AWESOME the product is.
