New enemy: Beholder boss

[geoffb]

Nixed.

[richtaur]

Reopened, lez do it.

[richtaur]

• Should feel fucking epic.
• Make him drool!
• Thin up the tentacles and have them wiggle.
• Make some little floating buddies: gross eyeballs.
• Maybe you can't damage him until all his satellite eyes are dead?

[richtaur]

• Maybe at 75% etc. he floats up into the air and some shit flies out of the gates or something.
• Maybe he has green gas clouds or something that fuck up the hero's controls.

[geoffb]

• Enters from the sky
• Eye is closed, spawns adds
• Adds circle around beholder, eye opens
• Takes damage now that eye is open
• Eye closes after a while, becomes invincible again
• Vomits gas clouds
• Spawns adds, rinse, repeat

At 50% the beholder shoots a spread fire of energy balls during eye open phase.

This is done I just need to piece it together into a new sprite sheet.

Did we decide to do the eyeballs/retinas separately so they can track the player or should we just do it simple and have it behave like a regular sprite?

We're probably already going to want the shadow to be rendered separately since there's stuff like it will appear first as the beholder lowers etc.

[geoffb]

I'd say let's do the eye as part of the beholder; no player tracking etc. It's just easier that way and we can get cranking on mew + Onslaught Tactics ASAP :)

[richtaur]

Totally. Beholder assets in b03e72c. We'll talk about which animations to combine (like eye closed+mouth opened, etc.)

Almost ready!! Will be solid after tonight.
