First of all, welcome to my first post that actually has a purpose ^^ !
In it, I'll mainly present the creations I've been working on, completed with some info ans screenshots on them. But who knows, I might also add other stuff if I get my boss count high enough 
Anyway, here they come !
GAMURA - The Inflexible Forteress
http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=250
Ideas behind the creation :
My first creation submitted to the Fraxy Compendium, and also the only one available so far. It first started as I was trying to modify the Wasawarser into a more armored version, and then had the idea of putting it as the core of a more bulky and slow contraception, that would break itself apart during the battle.
I started working on it, and after two-three retries, I ended up with GAMURA you have today...
Description :
To put it bluntly, this boss is an enourmous turtle forteress that will slowly break apart, entirely changing his patterns of attack and your survival chances as you destroy him part by part. A big test of patience that will need you to pay attention to your surroundings if you don't want to get caught offguard.
In it's first stage, he'll just spin around himself, while shooting sporadically at its sides. The goal here is to take care of his head, while avoiding the patterns of bullets and plasma rings that will hinder you of doing so. But beware ; if you take too long, it will start spinning faster, releasing a non-stop barrier of bullets that you'll have to avoid until he calms down.
After the head has been taken care of, he will shoot out his hands to hunt you down, which will try to ram you whenever they can. Along with the task of getting rid of this little fleet, you'll have to be careful of the turtle shell, which may hinder you in the higher ranks with sporadic small barriers of bullets.
Next come the more serious part, where you'll be confronted with a series of bigger, more tactical ships, coming from the turtle's outer shell. Their tactics includes :
- Destroy you in a cross fire between the turtle shell and him
- Forcing you to unwillingly crash on the shell
- Narrowing your escape into his laser's range and obliterating you with it
- Hiding under the shell to avoid damage
This part can be tricky, especially in higher ranks. And the fact that you'll have to destroy most of the time his wings in order to destroy him doesn't help much. You'll fight the first two seperately, but the last two will fight as a duo, which might not be a good news (except the fact that the shell won't shoot bullets at you anymore).
When this is taken care of, the shell will start spinning on itself. A cue that spells you to get away quickly ! Indeed, as a last desperate act, the shell will rush on you, spraying homing missiles that will "direct" your flight, and plasma rings that will slow you down, until it explodes and reveals...
...The main core !
For this little bugger, you'll have to shoot the eight barrels around him to break up his armor, and reveal his more agressive side ; a firery, nervous ball of death that loves to mess with your mind with its spazzic movements and patterns of plasma rings and lasers. Just try not to stay in one place for too long, and after destroying that final core, you can finally call yourself victorious of the inflexible GAMURA !
I know, that's one hell of a long fight, but it was in order to follow his title of "Inflexible Forteress" ; it will stand up to you to the very end, may it be with a hand or a core ^^
POLYPHEMUS - The One-Eyed Trickster
Ideas behind the creation
My second creation, currently being worked on right now. I wanted to create some kind of nightmarish clown at first, but I decided to echange it for a magician-like robot that can turn into a more "feral" state of itself. I've just finished the general skeleton of the thing, that you can see below :
Magician Form
Beast Form
I'm also working on a third form for it, but it isn't something definitive for the moment. Besides, I still have to code some events into this creation's first forms, before thinking about one more...
