Umm...I'm not sure how to put this...

If you were all bosses:

Hyperion, would you be the rocket snipe keeper? Or maybe just a big rocket snipe?
Cherub, would you have a paint brush attack? Or maybe a digital brush strike?
Nick, would you rather be an Impostocube or would a full jelly set with a Dapper Combo and a Toupee be fine? (Obviously with the right color scheme.)
Eurydice, you wouldn't mind using a Ban Stick? Or banning players from using items in the fight?
Boswick, would you want to have a Thor's Hammer? (Shocking Troika.) Or maybe dual wielding brushes? :P

Who drew the knights? (In the game.) Cherub or Boswick? I'd love to know who should get the line, "Hi! I drew you!" (Though that wouldn't be necessarily true because chances are me or someone else would be managing the models for-oops! I should stop talking.)

Hyper, do rocket snipes have a different diet than other snipes?

Hm? Why am I making this thread? Oh, it's definitely not anything like a secret boss fight in a game or anything. Especially not in a fan game which I may or may not be designing right now. Oh noooo, not all. *wink wink*

Cherub

Developer

Hmm...

Well, since I make all the weapon art, I think it would involve attacking with a slew of different orbiting weapons. Perhaps a call back to that great familiar from SotN.

But maybe I'm being too dramatic.

Eurydice

Community Manager

> Eurydice, you wouldn't mind using a Ban Stick? Or banning players from using items in the fight?

I wouldn't use a ban stick, I don't think. In my role, I don't end up banning a lot of players.

Instead, I would hug my opponents to death. I would also have a powerful shouting AoE attack.

All of this is too funny. Also, I think Nick should be basically JK but with a dapper combo, if that makes senses.

Nothing is too dramatic! Plays dramatic music for a Snipe eating an ice cream. That could be a funny way to reference OOO. Say, 3 rings for each kind of weapon, and per turn each gets cycled out for another. Then say...um let me think...

Orbital snipe laser is the way to go

Awesome idea. Could also use Feather Dance. :P

Instead, I would hug my opponents to death. I would also have a powerful shouting AoE attack.

Hugging?

Community Manager Eurydice tried a hug attack. [Player Character] couldn't move!

Community Manager Eurydice shouted! Insert various taking damage stuff for everyone.

Community Manager Eurydice tried PSI Love! (Lucas reference, no? PSI Love has nothing to do with hearts.)

dont expect to them answering so soon..

Actually...I wasn't. :P

Also, this whole idea is mostly just a way to show how awesome the GMs and Spiral Devs are and to reference them in some way. It is also a nice way to include something huge for Swarm mode. (Hardest mode. The fight would be limited to that difficulty because...if you clear a game with mostly your wits, luck, and skill, why not include something like this?)

On that note, I'm not saying how you'll find this encounter. That will be for the players to find. ;)

EDIT: It's been a long time since I've been ninja'd.

Also, I think Nick should be basically JK but with a dapper combo, if that makes senses.

Ah, I see what you say. At the same time...idk. I'm really not sure where things would go for Nick, so I'll leave that to him if he's wants to chose.

ROCKET SNIIIIIPE.Seriously,

ROCKET SNIIIIIPE.

Seriously, has anyone drawn art of a rocket snipe? I want to see one. I bet it would go "wheeee".

EDIT: It occurs to me that while everyone else has some cool, thoughtful response, I'm essentially just bouncing up and down in my seat like a six-year-old going "YAY".

Someone made a Spiral Spy picture of that, but I think that they'd look different. (Give a link if I could.)

Challenge Accepted.

This thread gives me hope.

It's really nice to see this level of staff interaction. Not one, not two, but three of them! :D

Keep it up! I get that you can't comment on much, as people hold you to whatever you say, but maybe that should change? Perhaps add a disclaimer that the game is still in development and features are subject to unannounced change at any time?

Whoever does the art deserves

Whoever does the art deserves a huge award. It seriously reminds me of my two favorite childhood games, Zelda and Mario. Awesome job @ who does art.

Also, the music is excellent, ESPECIALLY on that 8-1 (8-2?) Poison Slime mission. Seriously, that and the red wolver map track are awesone.

Now, balancing, on the other hand.....yeah, thats for a different time. But honestly, sweet artwork and music whoever did those! Best artwork animation is definitely Biohazard. Just looks really sweet, despite being a partially hipster weapon :P

Also, DA and GF are beautifully done, and are interesting to see despite everyone having one.

Lastly, whoever made baby mewkats and love puppies are both awesome and evil! Awesome cause...its a freakin baby mewkat! And Love puppy only gives love....but y we gotta kill them to advance in some rooms? Feels so wrong killing baby mewkat... ;(

While I was asleep rocket snipes happened, eh?

And yes, in Cradlebound things are changing shape constantly and nothing is final.

Thank you Ghret. Yes, that's what I was looking for.

However, when I hear rocket snipes I either thing of 4 mini rockets which revolve around the snipe (and are like the wings when they fly) or they'd be riding Bullet-Bill-sized rockets (with seats.) which they can control at their leisure.

EDIT: About those snipes...

21 Snipes, from the preview server. (I'll get more soon! :P)

Zopy, that's awesome. I'll probably thank that guy some way or another. I think that'll be our rocket snipe design. (Or atleast what I'll do will be based off that one.)

Hyper, happy you has your happies. :P

Do you use happies instead of wings to fly?
