Level that im making right now has everything besides good enemies.. to make up for it i want a really good boss but im not good with bosses so i need someone to make one for me if possible. (I will show the level and give specifications, builder's name in credits)
Or give me ideas for a cool boss. Medieval sort of style
Any idea how much thermo space there would be?

Hmm...well you could always go for a dragon or a knight. What I do is go to Google images or Deviantart and search for a creature to match my theme, then center the fight around that image.
LOL, great movie.Quote:

If your making a blackguard there needs to be glowing red eyes, dont forget the eyes of pure evil!
i doubt i could make the black knight without a sticker of it and i dont have a ps cam so that wont work...
And ahaha giant badger.. what does it do?
Would a giant snake be ok?
I'm not really so great on designing things like bosses and stuff I am more of a uniform kinda guy. I do all of my stuff using the grid that way everything works perfectly together. I even have the grid down to a science.
But as far as a suggestion I would say a dragon.
I am going to build a dragon and put it in my Set the Scene! contest entry and maybe after I am done with that you can pull a few ideas from it.
Clank made some pretty cool enemies. Like some space lobsters. :pQuote:

Have your dragon breath fire, and you have to avoid it, for say, 5 seconds, then you climb up it and press a button, creating a suicide switch, and ejecting you from the area (floor giving way etc) And the dragon comes back to life, for another round.
To do this, the easiest way of creating a sequence would be one of the following: A spinning wheel going past switches OR emiting an object, with wheels, going down a track and then dissolving at the end, with keys/switches on the way.
As for making the enemies, some of the best I've seen are in OCK's levels, Out of Africa and The Legion.
Dragons are always a favourite medieval enemy, or if not you could try some sort of king (lol if so use the gardens theme one)
if you're looking for a dragon play my level the hunt there's a prize bubble containing it in the mountainQuote:

The real difficulty with making a truly good boss fight, isnt so much coming up with the IDEA of it..... it's getting the thing to do what you want.
An intricate boss fight, with numerous attacks in an interesting pattern, and different ways of moving and whatever.... like you'd see in any ol 2D platformer.... that's not easy to do. Making the boss structure itself isnt hard, but making the controlling bit..... that's a different story.
Depending, of course, on what, and how much, you want the thing to do.
I'd be happy to help, if you want.... Im good at making gizmos and contraptions.... but I always personally think it's best for each creator (and player!) to learn for themselves, wether by looking it up, experimenting, or asking questions of others.
A big Black Knight on a horse sounds great. And make the front legs move, constantly. If you want, his attacks consist of rushing towards you (with gas glass in front of him) and striking down his lance (a simple wobble bolt would do).
A dragon, though, would be difficult if you want it big. If not that big, it's still cool, just polish it. Also use wobble bolts for it's knees. It's attacks would be likely a fire breath (open his mouth and emit flaming round objects) and a strikedown (it would fly up then after a couple seconds, drop down on you).
Hmmm... I might just make a level with these ideas, :p
Im about to finish up my first level, and will need something to do while I think up ideas for my next set of levels. Send me a PM with the specifics of what you want I i'll give you something.
again the dragon that i made would only need minor mods to do exactly what you're saying uzman check out my previously mentioned level to see it what i did is i made a big giant dragon and made it move in all sorts of ways (mostly with wobbles) the challenge is to climb up onto it's back and pop all of it's brains while avoiding the spikes and the fire below. its not very hardQuote:

Maybe you could fight a god? dunno
ooo yeah that would be cool you could have like this giant god-looking creature sitting on some clouds hovering back and forth shooting down lightning and stuff:pthe objedtive would be to climb some nearby trees to hop onto the god's cloud and pop several different brains placed in various places around his bodyQuote:
