Hello Everyone!
Many hours and over a thousand lines of code later, we have implemented a draft version of the first boss enemy in Achaem: Xsayarsa (pronunciation: En.wikipedia.org), or X-say for short. We have also introduced many changes that have improved the game, including some balancing.
Xsayarsa
This is an aerial boss which mainly uses its claws in battle, although it will charge at you if you try to increase the distance between you. Xsayarsa can create scars in time and also summon other enemies to come to its aid - so be prepared!
It's an epic battle with different phases and attack modes, you'll want to raise your Locomotion stats with items so you can dodge Xsayarsa's attacks, or at least focus on your Defence stat so you can take as many hits as possible!
Here is a short GIF from the last few seconds of the battle!
Other changes
We've made so many improvements it's hard to list them all, but some include a better levelling up event. Previously, you would silently level up and often miss the Station (shop) which emerges for a single tile. Now, it's very hard to miss, there's a fanfare and everything!
Also - the world is no longer just two blocks (grass and snow), we've introduced 3 new tiles and will keep adding more! When you level up - the arrangement of these tiles changes, as the world of Achaem changes with you.
