I really think a gigantic constantly changing boss battle is perfect for a game on one screen, so I thought that the Boss actually needed a lot of thought put into it, especially taking into consideration my scrubness with AI. So I made a diagram for you guys (and myself) to better clarify how the Boss will work. If you have any suggestions as to how I can use GML to create a simple movement pattern better than mine, or more attacks that will affect the environment, please tell me!<\/p>\n <p>(Sick MS Paint Skills evident here, people)<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Boss-behaviour.png\"><img class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-409248\" src=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Boss-behaviour-300x118.png\" alt=\"Boss behaviour\" width=\"300\" height=\"118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Boss-behaviour-300x118.png 300w, http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Boss-behaviour-550x216.png 550w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n <p>Also, this is how my actual game&#8217;s looking, place holder sprites and all.
