<\/a><\/p>\nIn case you wonder why the HP bar is partitioned into 3 segments – here is what happens when you break through one of these separations:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We call this an HP break<\/b>. When you reach one of those, well… there is bad and good news.
\nThe good: you get some HP replenished.
\nThe bad: the boss will become angry<\/b>.<\/p>\n
…Really angry…<\/p>\n Well, it’s boss design 101, really. With these remaining features, the boss battle is finally completed (modulo additional changes once more feedback comes in).<\/p>\n After R.D.<\/b> finished the Map Menu<\/b> complete with gamepad controls we decided to let the game menu rest for a little while an focus on something new: Puzzle mechanics.<\/p>\n First he implemented group switches<\/b> – several switches that need to be activated during a short time span:<\/p>\n Afterwards came Dynamic Platform<\/b> that move out of the ground, fly through the air and so on:<\/p>\n Finally, I added push and pull-able blocks. Yes, that’s right. Lea can finally use her hands for something else than throwing balls:<\/p>\n Note that all graphics you see in these pictures are just placeholders<\/b>. Those will be replaced for the next release.<\/p>\n Currently, R.D. is working on an actual Treasure Chest<\/b> entity. Finally you’ll be able to collect some items! More on that soon.<\/p>\n I had the urge to work on the outside cargo ship graphics. Again.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\nMore Puzzle Mechanics<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\nCargo Ship Improvements<\/h2>\n
\nHere’s a comparison:<\/p>\n
