Hi everyone!
As we all kick-off a brand new year, its time for our very first progress update of 2020. Lets jump right in!
The lions share of our time this past month has been spent further developing the mansions boss. The main elements were working on are new art/animations to better illustrate his various attack tells and wind-ups. Experimenting with and Implementing the actual attacks themselves, and also exploring ways to better utilize the arena in interesting ways.
The above example shows the newly added hat toot animation for when the boss fires off a volley of seeker orbs to chase the player. Since the bosses are the largest sprites in the game by far, theyre quite time consuming and challenging to work on, but Ive been making good progress towards my goal of a complete art pass.
Weve also been working on the addition of fun and unique little intro scenes for each boss battle. These quick little animations really help add a lot of charm and personality to each encounter as you prepare to take them on. Heres a quick peek at Lord Skullingtons intro - Not all door knockers should be knocked o.O
Once all of the art and various attack behaviors are in place, the next step is a full tuning pass across all of the phases, with lots and lots of playtesting across both single player and MP modes.
Thats everything for this month. Thank you for reading, and well See you all next time! :D

🎮 Full Controller Support
- Monsters and Monocles [Linux] [188 M]
Online and Local Multiplayer
Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.
Customize Your Play Style
Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.
Procedurally Generated World
Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
