Legend of Iya WIP Indie game - GunGanesha boss battle

This is a work in progress footage of the boss battle with GunGanesha - an elephant Cyber-god. The balancing is rough, though the ease of the battle is misleading, as I had hundreds of tries to get this down to science (and even here I held WAAY back: ) - a first time player can expect to get his ass handed to him.
Missing in action is GunGanesha's rat companion.

ENCOUNTER!

oh, really? if the text wasn't there i wouldn't even notice the GIANT CYBORG ELEFANT WITH MACHINEGUNS THAT HAS JUST FALLEN FROM THE SKIES ON ME... cause you know... things like that happen to me every day :-D. aside from that, it looks pretty good, especially the animations, very organic and nice, keep up the good work ;)

@MidnightSt Hehehe - the "Encounter!" text is a homage to an old PC game - Zeliard. If you haven't played it, love Metroidvanias and don't mind old-school graphics, control tropes and difficulty - give it a go. It has tons of charm, and is quite a cult favorite.

Is the room at 0:07 a placeholder? It doesn't fit with the rest of the scenery.

[darkfalzx]

@tailsdahedgehog Actually, no - it's a standardized save room. As in - they all look the same throughout the game. Their high-tech-ness will be explained in the course of the game's story.

This looks really amazing--out of curiousity, when this get's released, what gaming platform will it be on? :o

[darkfalzx]

@Jirashi88 Whatever GameMaker will work on at that point, and where controls wouldn't be a complete nightmare (not sure how well it will work on iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms), but PC, Mac and HTML5 for sure.

[mrfrenik]

This is great. I hope you're keeping up with it.

I think animations should play faster, she runs a tad bit slowmo

[CBlackGarden]

wow u made this? the graphics and animations look so pro

[GlennMagusHarvey]

Great to read that you're still working on this! By the way, mind if I make an early "placeholder" work page on TV Tropes for your work?

Also, I still think that the previous look for Iya is much cuter, and her current appearance--with that backward lean--looks a bit odd.
