fogboss

fogboss:

i made my first custom miniboss (and second enemy ever) in super metroid recently. it's pretty basic but it does fog things (moves around). it's implemented on a background layer so making it larger costs no extra cpu like adding more sprites would do. i was trying out some more complex movement but that will be later if it happens at all

source is here and it's only mildly spaghetti so far https://github.com/n-neen/misc/tree/main/faerie%20assembly/fogboss

i like how this is shaping up

I'm struggling to get it to be a bit more visible but that's how subtractive color math do

Since when has it ever been easy to see through the fog, though? Those are the real questions you gotta be asking urself as an artiste
