Ephemerium Sneak Peek: Trickywi boss fight WIP


Continuing with development in the Ancient Egypt area, I bring you today, the hidden boss of that region; Nephasis - Dragon of Chaos, or as we all know her more commonly, Trickywi. 

Unlike the Melware boss where there are two enemies, Tricky will be fighting the player solo, so to assist with the natural disadvantage of her being melee against the player, I am considering several options as you can see in the showcase; she can react to player actions directly unlike most of the other enemies we've designed so far, ranging from counter charging to jumping at the player if they try to jump over her. 

To make her regal Pharaoh attire more elegant, I experimented quite a bit with materials in Unreal Engine, probably longer than I should have, but I do not regret it considering the result turned into a really nice shade of golden bling that really brings out the regality of her attire. 

The final soundtrack of the boss fight will be modeled after Tricky's "Your Pharaoh" song as it is very in theme, but what we're trying to achieve is to create a remix of the track that retains the Egyptian motif rather than make use of heavy metal riffs like the original does. 

If you have questions, suggestions, feedback or would like to help the project in ways other than donations, please let me know, I'll be happy to listen to what you have to tell and we can always use more testers to collect more accurate feedback about anything that gets added to the game.
