BOOSETER SEAT'S PROFILE

Yeah, even though you got one Rudra sprite, it still looks cool. I like the background, and the enemies are like, chillin'. Not chillin'. Like chillin'.

I believe it would be, "This thing won't die!"

Not to be a nuisance about grammar or anything.

I wouldn't mind refighting Seymour Flux if it wasn't for that unskippable cutscene right before him

Jesus LORD, do not remind me of that crap. That was SO annoying. Sorry.

I like bosses that are challenging, but possible. If you want to, sure, ridiculously friggin hard bosses are cool, but only if you're given some time to prepare and the proper warning, etcetera. What's not cool is expecting the player to grind for every boss battle because you felt like making them seem extra cool and badass by making them killer hard.

Now, "legitimately" difficult. If you ask me, this means it is required to use strategy, and not mash the same repeated battle actions. But even this gets to a limit. There is only so much you can do with a standard battle system without over-complicating things by adding this and that, and this and that. Which is why I like games (like the Mario RPGs) that have available skills with action commands that test your timing and whatnot. It's pretty creative, and can seriously make the battle more difficult if you have a good move that's hard to do the action command for. I'm not saying the Mario RPGs are the best RPGs ever made or anything, but come one, some of those bosses were pretty hardcore.

So, "legitimate" bosses. You want legitimately difficult bosses, the first thing that comes to mind for me is implementing another system into your game. I would much rather play this kind of battle system against a "legitimately" hard boss, because I'd probably have better chances, sanity, etc.

Oh, that's a good one. I do, actually. Currently I'm working on a temple environment, but it's tricky because I'm implementing a new system into my project that's driving me nuts right now. It's not such a big deal, but I'm trying to get the environment just right, so yeah. Level design is going to be a big portion of my current game, so I guess you could say I'll be doing a lot of research...and planning. Oh, how I LOVE planning.

Unless used in the right way, swearing can be really lame and annoying in a game. I hate it when amateur games have swears littered around because they don't have anything useful to say. Just saying, this stuff usually looks bad if it's spammed like that. It makes it seem like the characters don't have their own personalities sometimes.

Now I'm not saying that I'm not going to use or won't use some swears in my own projects, but it would be very controlled. My current project gives off a vibe that you'd think it would be loaded with 'em, but I'm trying to substitute it with other elements to have the same outcome, if not more effective.

I think most people get the ideas from today. I mean, I guess it depends on your environment, but I think it's pretty bad now.

Also, I believe it's a better idea to use the classic $%&@! when making extremely profane statements in a game. Final Fantasy VII is a perfect example. Barret and Cid went crazy with the language, but for the most part, it was censored. So was the dialogue of a lot of NPCs. Then again, it really fits the setting of the game. REALLY well.
