Unfortunately, I haven't. But ofcourse, I've heard of its final boss, Giygas - it's frightening even just watching someone play it and I can hardly imagine what it would be like if I got chance to play it...

With SD (Human) I wanted create a similar atmosphere for my final battle. I'm rather suprised no one else (atleast I believe so) hadn't done anything similar with Fraxy before me. But I think I reached my goal, whether player finds SD (Human) scary or not.

It's rather self-explanatory in storywise too: Trying to ultimately achieve her goal [annihilating humans and Mara forever], SD corrupts and turns into a human being - one she has been trying to destroy from the start. Maybe because the only power to equal humankind's will to live is human's nature towards chaos.

I'm sure many of you did find my story rather akward and even incomprehensible at times. But it was intentional from the beginning. After all, there isn't true "evil" or "good" in my storyline - I wanted to encourage people to do their own conclusions.

Your story is confusing. Please explain.

Were things like the 900k, 5k, 40k, etc. created by Sakra?

What about the Guardians? I know about Acala, already.

If Sakra-Devaman apparantly was ressurected/revived/whatever, couldn't she do the same once more?

If it does, I smell a sequel.

Certainly not. Those battleships were created by an unknown alien race. This race has practically no idea about the conflict between The Guardians and Mara. But as they begin to research the mysterious parasites (SD's "infants"), they draw Mara's attention at themselves. Despite Mara's aggressive nature, this alien race carries on its biological weapon research with parasites - which in the end leads to Sakra-Devanam's resurrection.

All Guardians were created by Sakra-Devanam. That's why she refers them as her "children".

I can't really say much. Maybe?

*record scratch*
Wait...Sakra is FEMALE?
Though I've never read Bhuddist Cosmology, and I have a tendency to instantly call anything who's gender is not known "Male" or "Genderless", so I never expected that.
As for the Gygas feel, you certainly got that down, maybe a little too much so (you even got the "Uncomprehensible Attack" thing).
All in all, despite the boss's creepiness, you did a great job.
Edit: one gaping plothole had just popped up: Wouldn't SD be much weaker and easier to kill, since humans are much more fragile then giant robot space-gods?

-> Humans created machines, as a tool to achieve a task at a much more proficient rate than normal. ("Killing each other" Included.)
-> Humans created gods; a universal reflection upon ones opinion of perfection. Technically, gods are more imperfect than humans, as different perspectives actually cancel each other out. All that jazz.


And by general terms, SD would be considered "Fallen" by the sole purpose that she wished to become human.

Metaphysical -> Physical = Ohshitwereallgonnadie

Yes, yes, but since Sakra-Devanam became human, wouldn't that make her powerless? or is she human in the sense that wizards are human? (I.E. mortal, but powerful)

The latter. Think of a drawing coming to life. A good example, albeit childish, would be the Sponge Bob episode, "Doodle Bob"

..Ah. However, your example is a little....confusing.

The creation surpassed destructive potential of the original, and said creation plotted to live amidst the reality of the original, additionally plotting to destroy both the original, and anyone else.

I see. However, Sakra-Devanam's craze was for a reason: She saw humans fail to control their war-like tendencies. She was created to stop wars and the type of thing that was happening (the Humans Are Bastards element) and kind of went bezerk. It was kind of humanity's fault for not forseeing that little problem (and not recognizing their own hubris), but they solved it with the creation of MARA.


Also, Sakra didn't go after any other species, although they were probably forgetting the art of war, and probably actually foresaw what would happen if they actually acted against her.

I guess my break is over.

Sunyata - Emptiness

NOTE: This boss was designed for the Area Fixed mode and 640x480 resolution.

Sunyata serves as an epilogue boss of my "Fragments of Men" series. It's more like Mara's metempsychosis towards his own englightment, Nirvana and peace - since from the beginning Mara was designed to fight against the Guardians and suffer the never endind cycle of Samsara...
Sunyata has actually two different final forms - I like to think them as "Good" and "Bad" ending. "Bad" one is evidently easier than the "Good". However, while being harder, "Good" is also much more satisfying to battle. Try fighting both forms for replay value.

Enjoy!

Just like all video games. I guesss this may be your last series for a while.
So how do you get the "Good" ending?

After Sunyata begins to teleport mindlessly, he will stop for a moment to recharge. During this fourth attack pattern, Sunyata rises his arms and begins charging. If you look closely enough, you will see Parts-Recovery part center this charge. This part must be destroyed before the second barrier in order to trigger "Good" ending later during the battle.

And about those series... I actually have already few ideas for two different series.

Wow, I think you beat even True Pandamonium with this boss.
And about the series, either of them involve Mara in some way, shape or form?

What in the world was the sound in DEMON when MARA shot the charge beam, cause when i first heard it, it scared the freakin hell out of me.

1) EPIC ME-LEVEL BUMP!!!!!
2) I think that was part of the music.
3) it's supposed to scare you, that's why it's nightmare fuel.
4) we're past DEMON. We're on post-Samsara.

That was only a 9-day bump, there's nothing wrong with that.
