In this episode I create a bunch of bosses for my physics based boxing game while trying to stay on track with the game over the winter season.
This is a devlog in my Punch A Bunch series, a game I am developing by myself in Unreal Engine 4.

The bosses look great, I love how unique you've made each of their looks and abilities. For the Viking boss, I feel like he should make more noise before he charges at you, like a raging bull kinda snorting and snarling to telegraph the move to the player. Keep it up Ponty!

this just showed up in my recommended, and I'm super impressed that you managed to get all this done in 2 years! I'm no expert on 3D modelling, but a trick I've seen some modelers use to avoid clothes clipping into the skin, is to erase some of the skin underneath the clothing. I don't know if that'll work based on the physics and whatnot, again, I don't know how 3D modelling works, I've never touched blender in my life, but that's something I see people do for like vrchat models and stuff.

I’m glad to see how determined you are to this game, and how much you have changed your life and have changed mine, good job Ponty, I hope you’re feeling good forever 👍 PS: a thought for your game should maybe be if you hold back the joystick on the rope it will launch them forward a bit and you could potentially make a very big finisher using this, maybe have some jump from the poles on the corners and jump onto the character

Here are my thoughts: 1. You may make Cookie a bit bigger in terms of the size. That will give another hint to the player that cookie is stronger than Toby 2. I think the viking would look cooler if that "clothing-fur" thing was longer from the back I really like your game and the progress you've made(have been following you since the very beginning). Keep it up and good luck with the release :)

@kkrup5395 2 жыл бұрын

Yes but if it was longer like a cape it could take a lot of effort to get the physics right. And thus increasing his scope again.

Sumo stun (which stuns you no matter where you are on the plane) is a bad idea. Having played 257 games from the past Brackeys jam and many more games on top of that, one thing I noticed is that typically you want the player to always have control of the situation. Receiving damage because of your low skill as a player - is challenging and engaging. Receiving damage when you had no/little control - is unfair and feels unpleasant. The other way to put it: in a typical arcade game, it should always be possible to complete the game with zero hits. Like "Glass Soul" in Hollow Knight - yes, it's super difficult, but some crazy people do it. Game should make it so that outcome is 98-100% skill dependent. On another note, it would be interesting to see what you are doing for this game marketing-wise. I don't see any marketing to-dos, but marketing is super important.

@robotmaster4515 2 жыл бұрын

I agree. This game does look fun but my favorite aspects of these types of games is whenever I'm 1 hit away from death and I'm playing outta my mind in hopes of clutching out a win. The boss already seems hard and having a move where a hit is guaranteed would ruin so much fun, of course that's what it looks like from the small glimpse we've been shown for all i know this isn't the case and it could easily be avoided. I think giving the player a way to skillfully dodge the stomp move would actually be awesome and add so much fun like maybe if you hit him right as he's about to stomp you could stop the stomp while stunning him and giving you time to hit him. Something like that would reward skillful players while promoting agresive style playing which in my opinion was the game philosophy that punch out used that made me love it. In how the game rewarded you for playing agresive by giving you a thin line to tightrope. If you fell off you would be punished but if you managed to keep that high level of aggressive play while maintaining that patience and waiting for the moment to be aggressive then you would be able to beat the bosses so fast which is what made punch out and super punch out so much fun.

a zombie would be cool, like a green dead looking character, and it has floppy weak limbs just flapping around and maybe to kill it ya have to hit it in the head or else it wont die, like zombies are known for being killed by shooting or hurting their brain, the zombie could even maybe summon undead minions, even making it so it can loose limbs when you hit them hard enough and the limbs move on their own until the zombie itself dies lol
