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... ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

No, I think he means one of the conditions you can use in the events tab of a part (between Attack Frame and Direction if I recall). He is wondering what is its use in the Fraxy Editor ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

True, true, and I admit that I saw a problem bigger than that ; it uses too much parts >< !
But I must say, I didn't thought about that "too big for screen" trouble. Seems I'll have to see if I can "shorten" him in any way I can... hum... ...that smells inspiration time ! Anyway, thanks for the tip, I appreciate it ^^ ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

After much time wasted on remaking my second creation POLYPHEMUS, and the number of ideas I wanted to put on him initially, I came to the conclusion of having to split it up into my first series : the T.I.T.A.N. project
Basically, it will consist of three golem bosses which will have different patterns, but with the same two features : - The cyclop eye and the humanoid shape - A two-stage battle, starting off as the eye itself before transforming into a more evolved form So, without further ado, let's start the presentations ^^ : POLYPHEMUS - The One-Eyed Stalker Image : Download Here Description : A challenging one-eyed golem, not by its attacks, but by its movements ; he'll give the most of himself just to make your life a misery as you try and turn him into scrapped metal. ARGUS - The All-Seeing Guardian Image : Download Here Description : A vicious one-eyed golem. Not very fond of physical attacks, it will instead constantly shower you in power balls and energy balls sweetness for your dodging skills to avoid... ATLAS - The Restrained Beast Image : Download Here Description : This one is the brawn of the trio ; much bulkier than its brothers, he will happily play "squash the fly" with your ship, fist-style ! ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

Really ? I never played the game myself, so I didn't have any idea of it. And if the boss videos on him are right, I might have made his erratic movements even weirder than usual with POLYPHEMUS >< ...
Anyway, just as a little appetizer before ARGUS, I've changed some things from GAMURA's core, and made it into something more manageable to fight. Overall, that must be the only creation so far that didn't take me entire weeks, weighting only 72 parts and some minor events : TURTLE WARSHIP Download Here Description : A lumbering beast with a hard shell, which you'll have to break apart before reaching the core. That is, if you make it through his artillery and the occasional charges... ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

About time I decided to update that thread of mine >< ...
TURTLE SWARM Download Here Description : A challenge between me and Sdub13 on the Fraxy forums, on the theme of a Drone Raid. In this case, my entry was six turtle ships, bent on ramming you and leaving plasma trails behind them (And Energy Bombs as their number dwindle)... As for the T.I.T.A.N Project, ARGUS - The All-Seeing Guardian is finished and ready to be uploaded here ^^ Finally, I've opened a youtube channel for your viewing pleasure.

Another late update in order to add my recent contest creations and ATLAS' image preview on the T.I.T.A.N Project page :
STEROPES - The Troublesome Trickster Download Here Description : Conditions were to have at least one section rotating around the main core. For those of you who've played with POLYPHEMUS before, you might recognize this little guy. I kinda wanted to test out the new extra params of the beta and get the hang of effectors and screen effects. It's also my first boss consisting solely on bullet-hell patterns (if we can call his patterns like that...), and made specially for the "Area Fixed" option. In sort, some kind of big experiment for me CALYPSO - The Insidious One Download Here Description : The theme was to make a boss using only the [A], [C] and [E] parts (and the panel-aims as an exception). The result ? A occasion for me to come up with a octopus-like boss, either trying to melee you with its tentacles or simply attack you with mind bullets or the usual plasma rings/power balls. Anyways, It's been fun trying to animate that beast to have a realistic squid-like movement ^^ ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

After a month of preparations, the T.I.T.A.N project is finally coming to an end, as the last of the cyclops is available for playthrough !
ATLAS - The Restrained Beast Download Here Description : Third and last of the cyclopic trio. Concentrating on brawn alone, he will constantly try to pummel you down to size with his enourmous fists. Needs the "area fixed" mode as well as the 480*360 window size in order to work properly ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

A big little update for the lot of you ^^
MECHANIKLES - The Crazed Inventor Download Here The mastermind behind the T.I.T.A.N project, this boss will hail all sorts of attacks on your ship, from the safety of his flying saucer. Needs the "area fixed" mode as well as the 480*360 window size in order to work properly. SCYLLA - The Infected T.I.T.A.N Download Here A weird mesh of mechanical conceptions put together by Mechanikles. Prepare yourself for some pretty weird stuff happening while you try to cut her down to size... Needs the "area fixed" mode as well as the 640*480 window size in order to work properly. ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |

Indeed, just like I completely forgot to post this dude in for a looooong time...
PYTHO - The Crawling Predator Dowload Here Description : A big ol' snake, getting in and out of the screen, waiting for a moment to trap you in its scaly body. Beware when it starts curling around itself as the battle goes on ! If the Turtle God is merciful, I might just end releasing more bosses as I go through all my unfinished blueprints >< ____________________ Currently Working On (as soon as my vacation is over) : - PYTHO, The Crawling Predator |
