Now, wouldn't something like this just make for a great boss?

[Olivebates]

I was captivated by this PMV the other day, and I thought about those timed survive-a-thon bosses. I thought how epic a boss battle like this would be, so I thought I'd share it with you guys, and see what you had to say about it.

(Imagine the platforms that you stand on yourself, and imagine that everything kills you)

Can anyone share my vision?

too hard to code 

im sure uh.... somebody can do this.
yeah, somebody!                                                             ...

It shouldn't be /that/ hard to make something with this quality. I'd bet I could do it within a couple of weeks if I didn't have school.

Too much mindfuck for me to be able to copy any of this, especially because I can't tell what is supposed to kill you and what is supposed to just be there for effect.

olive would be your man then.he have a high production value and i can imagine he would be able to make it

Well, I gave it a shot. The biggest problem is desynchronizing when doing heavy calculation.


I tried making some automatic algorithms that just create the boss based on the sound channels of the background music. However, this only seems to be possible if I initialize the whole boss through a multi-dimensional array beforehand.


It's for things like these that I wish game maker supported pointer operators.

  multi-dimensional array

No Idea what that is but sounds cool.

[Starz0r]

  multi-dimensional array

No Idea what that is but sounds cool.

[Zurai]

  multi-dimensional array

No Idea what that is but sounds cool.

It's an Array inside of an Array

So what were you planning on using for this? Gamemaker? Some other language?
