Turns out there'll be yet another miniboss before the actual boss. That makes it the fifth mini-boss, or ninth boss altogether.
Also I'll leave for holidays soon, so no development until wednesday next week!

There's no thing like too many (mini)bosses  |

To celebrate the pagan origins of christmas, have a screenshot of the next boss!  |

I disabled that function because... what would people want to post there? Hmm. Oh well, I'll enable it and see what happens.

The 9th boss is now ready for action! And with that, I can start working on the tenth, heh. After that, the temple area will be finished, and I can turn my eyes to the rest of the volcanic sector.  |

I love that art style! Looks great but maybe a different thread name will help.

That looks awesome, man! But don't you think that the turning light beam looks somewhat disconnected from the actual boss? I think, that makes it look very "geometrical" (for lack of a better word). Perhaps just changing the color of where it is connected to the boss (the hub) would fix that? Or making that part a little bigger, just like it looks at the very end before it disappears... |

Maybe add some subtle blueish highlights to the "front" of the boss when the laser is on?

I'm going to add some kind of afterglow to make it look more like a cool laser and less like a white line. But yeah, those are some good points! I'm a bit too fond of weird lasers. I'll add that to the 'polish this' -list.  Work on the tenth boss is going pretty smoothly - I'll soon be done with the first of three(?) forms. I have some serious problems not linking screenshots of the boss - I think I should keep some stuff secret. |

I can't be helped but think the 9th one kinda looks a bit dumb being there standing(?) in the same place for the whole fight. I hope it will float in the background while you're busy dodging bullets and lasers. Also, I can really see a green-ish mist for a nice added touch. I have some serious problems not linking screenshots of the boss - I think I should keep some stuff secret.
Definitely keep some of the best stuff secret  Can't wait to play this  |

The idea is, though, that the 9th boss is a statue of some sort. I agree that it's kind of passive, what with only moving its hands, but I'll return to that later if I figure out something to help that. I'll try to make the 'actual' bosses as cool-looking as possible, though; the 10th one is pretty sweet already (in my opinion)!

Maybe find a way to make the eyes follow your movement? Or vibrate only the statue when it makes a strong attack?

Clearly I cannot judge the whole picture by looking at a short gif  Now that you mention that, the rotating laser is generated by the red gem in its chest, makes sense. Maybe show a hint of its lower body standing on its own pedestal, all wrapped in shadows ofc, to help the idea of an animated statue to sell better? |
