Crystal Towers 2 Boss - Beam Stack (Multimedia Fusion 2)

The project isn't dead! This is the seventh boss I've done for Crystal Towers 2, and at the moment it's called "Beam Stack". There are a variety of different ones in the game - this one is mostly a sort of frantic memory test, with the lasers it's going to fire indicated by the pattern of lights on the top block. It can emerge on the left or the right, and later on has a third attack of launching guided missiles that will cause you a lot of trouble if you leave them alone too long.

The lights on the sides are its weak points - the top one is more difficult to get to, but causes more damage if you hit it. After I first set it up it took me ages to get past this one the first time, but now I can do it fairly reliably - if other people find the same thing, then that's just the right difficulty of boss I'm aiming for.

Btw what do you use to record your videos? Fraps doesn't work with the game for me (since aero desktop options in Fraps doesn't work on this computer) and CamStudio won't work because it doesn't record sound from my speakers.

@DJOmnimaga This was done in Camstudio - I have the 'Record from speakers' option on. If fiddling with that doesn't work, you could also record your speaker output using Audacity and then combine them later...

Which program do you use to compose the music?

[DavidXNewton]

It's done in Modplug Tracker.

@DavidXNewton Actually nevermind my last comment. Now I'm just using the 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm wire trick (plugged in audio out and mic jacks). CamStudio recording gives poor framerate compared to Fraps, though.

@DavidXNewton The issue is my computer has no stereo mix/record from speaker option in audio/mic settings. They got rid of that in most new computers for copyright reasons (people abused it to rip music from Youtube). As a result, the only program that can still achieve such thing for me is Fraps.

On my old Intel Celeron I had no problem, but it's broken right now.

@giglamesh You know, not ten minutes ago I was asked if I'd done any work on CT2 recently, as well... that, and comments like these, are what drives me to finally get it together and finish it. Thanks a lot for your words - and I'll make sure that it gets completed!
