This week we’ll take a closer look at the next boss in the boss rush, the Season Hydra! As you may remember, I made a part of the background for it a while ago, but today it’s time to take a look at what the elevator will look like with each of the different seasons. First though, we decided to add grass to the remaining two platforms as well, so let’s have a peek at that first:
With that in order, let’s continue transforming this background into each of the four seasons! Starting with Summer:
Next, Autumn:
In the cold days of winter:
And finally, pleasant spring:
Of course, the Hydras will need some kind of wall for them to bang their heads into, otherwise how are you gonna be able to best them?! At first, we considered using the spears you’ve seen from across the game:
A basic WIP, of course, but we thought we might come up with something slightly cooler. Enter the force field:
A little bit more hitech perhaps, but also a lot visually cooler. Especially with Fred’s startup animation of it! Let’s have a look:
And before we go, have a GIF of what the spawn sequence looks like right now (without the proper summer background added yet):
With the Hydra fight well under way, this dungeon is coming together more and more :) We hope you’ll enjoy it!
