Bonus area huh. Dreams do come true . About the Misery's End final boss It looks neat. Maybe a black wind will be good for the final boss so it can be more of a treat. And since ME is the most powerfull at level 1 most people will be using it.

The previous boss (plot spoiler) will have all weapons set to level 1, though another "all weapons to level 1" thing from the next bosses might be helpful (as, in order to get the ultimate weapon that replaces the Spur, plot boss will have to be beaten).
For the testing thing, I just set the starting point to Top Floor H (a statue room, which is currently full of bugs), and started with 80 HP, Misery's End, Arcanum, Acidic Bubble, Life Pot, Valkyrie Wings and Save Disk, and set flag 1450 for an elevator in Top Floor A.
Said elevator is slow, sadly, but at least it'll let you obtain three treasures (unconfirmed what they are) without losing the elevator. (Unless it goes off-screen.)
After Top Floor A, to the west/left, is Top Floor SC, where another plot boss is.
Then, the "Top Floor, Throne" area where the final boss fights will be.

Screenshot time!
Beware, there might be plot spoilers. If you don't care about plot spoilers, feel free to look at the spoilers, but know that anything related has to be posted in spoilers as well, please.


Oh, and the Top Floor theme is "Bloody Tears". (Dracula X version.)

And would you tell us what are your ideas for the bonus area? (Of course if you want to).

Aside from very confusing?
Well, it will probably have some more bosses.

Also is there a chance that we get kind of a piece of artwork for the mod if there is any and if there is no problem about it.

I won't know about artwork; I am not very good at artwork.

That is the final boss's sprite... or is it? He doesn't really look like that, it's a disguise.
You can see Tranquility behind the cage. Sort of.

Also, this cutscene allows you to move around, but there's fans behind the throne to prevent you from standing there when the boss goes there.
Basically, the only cutscene that you can walk around in, and attack stuff. (I accidentally killed the boss before triggering the cutscene, so I had to fix that. And said boss was invisible, and didn't do a thing except stand there and wait.)


"Defeated both Aidan and Tranquility"
What does that mean? That means another clone of Serenity named Tranquility.


A screenshot of the first time I beat the final bosses, with just Misery's End being used.

The easiest boss thus far, at least of the main story bosses. 50 HP. At that time you probably have more than 50 HP (60? I don't know if max HP will be 80 officially) and you have the Valkyrie Wings. Though, you battle this form six or seven times (unless you die on her final form, the one with the aura, in which case it's supposed to be less).


Aura Ataraxis, with minions. That you can destroy for HP and stuff. Those spikes deal 2 damage, by the way.

This is Tirahnys's slowest elevator. Takes at least a minute to get to the top, if I had to guess. Don't want enemies in the elevator shaft, since the statue carver would be REALLY upset.

(click to show/hide)

Statues! You can't shoot them yet, though. Only after the final bosses are beaten. Oh, and they're currently glitched. Trying to figure out what I broke, but it's unsuccessful.

(click to show/hide)

No, you don't get the Lunar weapon; I added it in with Ultimate Doukutsu Trainer out of laziness of dealing 5 damage all the time.
Anyway, that's Serenity's face pic.


That's Ataraxis and Tranquility's face pic.

And yes, there is no asymmetry there - Ataraxis/Tranquility's left eye is closed, though masked-versions will not exist (because it's too complicatedly difficult for me and I'd get confused anyway).
And the hair as well.

Neat!
I must ask, though - what, exactly, is the Top Floor H glitch?

Also...

Oh, and the Top Floor theme is "Bloody Tears". (Dracula X version.)

(click to show/hide)

Personally, I think it's fitting - aside from Serenity being sad over the death of her mother Valkyrie, I mean; while Serenity might have tears, they're not going to be tears of blood.

If Serenity had one wish, it'd be to revive her mother... maybe the sequel could be related to that? I dunno yet. I may have planned it out somewhat, but it's not concrete just yet.

That'd be sweet.
If only wishes could come true in real life... and only for people with good intentions.

Aside from very confusing?
Well, it will probably have some more bosses.

(click to show/hide)

I might consider adding Invidia as a major boss, too. The true final boss of the mod, perhaps? Who knows.

Spoiler - how would that work?
Also, why confusing? Or is that the Confusion Zone?

So basically...

Sorry.

So I assume that Bloody Tears is now actually listenable?

Glitch of the Statue Room:
Normal:After the final boss:Shoot those statues:
Those look little like statues; I'll be working on that eventually.

I can safely say I royally messed up here.

I'll ask at the CS forums, since that'd be more helpful than anything else, I reckon.
I mean, keeping it that way would be weird.

EDIT:
It has been repaired at last
Though, considering the final boss's statue turns into a statue of his sister's... uh, yeah.
I am definitely gonna have to switch statues, now.

Kim, will you participate in ModCon2015 or Moding Awards 2015. I think there is a pretty big chance of winning best story.

While I won't participate in ModCon at all, I'm not sure how the Modding Awards work, but if it's just nominate-and-vote, I won't mind.

If I were to take part in the ModCon thing, that would mean deadlines and I'm not a fan of them when it comes to modding. I prefer to take my time.

(Speaking of which I really need to start working again before I forget about the mod entirely. The Confusion Zone has music now, though only one map that can't be accessed at all at the moment.)

That's good to hear. Can't wait.

She can't promise anything, but she'll try, most likely.

Such is my guess.


EDIT:
Now with major setback, apparently.
Why she starts at 6 AM with modding, only she would know... though she did delete the statue room by accident, forcing her to do everything there all over again. And that just from trying to rename it.
Thank goodness she had that glitch with the statue rooms, then; otherwise the script would have been lost eternally and her work would be even harder.

Setbacks will be inevitable, I suppose.
