So I kinda thought it would be cool to see a boss fight in a NiGHTS stage, so I tried looking for any online. Couldn't really find any, but I'm sure someone's at the very least attempted this before. Anyhow, what I'm doing is basically trying to make a simple little boss fight in a NiGHTS stage. It's just a small circle map with a few little hills to take cover behind during an attack. The boss is a giant worm that tunnels around attacking the player, sorta going to end up being like the Eggman boss fight from Deep Sea Zone where he pops up in different holes, except this one you can only hit the holes on the side, you can't hit him when he's in the middle. This boss will also use different attacks depending on where it pops up.
So it pops up, attacks the player a few times, the player can dodge them if it's an attack on their path, or hide behind cover if it's from the center.
Then when it's able to be attacked you just fly into him and he's going to drop a bunch of orb thingies, those ones you use to get the Chaos Emerald from the Capture circle thing to beat NiGHTS levels. You just keep fighting him till you have enough, then you can beat the level. I have no idea how to get his health working properly, and I'm still trying to figure out how the pain thing works, so for now he's pretty much immortal.
I'm still figuring out all the things so it might be a little while before I can try to release this.
//Progress Report, because I'm not sure what else to put on here, so bleh.
//Currently making it pop up on the player's route to attack them directly.
//Having severe difficulties with it popping up on the player's route to attack them directly.
//Making it so that when it emerges from it's holes in the ground it'll fling rocks all around the map.
//Trying to come up with a good reasonable way for it to drop spheres/rings/whatever you need to beat the stage when you hit it.
