The title says it all. Each and every major boss for Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is done. Now, I’m working on adding those good little story bits. Perhaps the game will take a few more weeks instead of months to finish. …maybe. Don’t count all your chickens just yet.
…and for those of who are wondering what Belgrad: Curse of the Castle is, it’s a Metroidvania set in a castle, and quite clearly “borrows” elements from Castlevania. …the good ones, mostly.
There. One sequence dedicated to the phrase "Breathe it in" has been animated.
It was either gonna be this, or a text box going "*sniiiifffffffff* Ahhhhh."
The hair might need work, though.

Line work first, then shading.
Also, if you're asking "where's her hair?", that's gonna animate separately.
I might have to put this in a little black box on-screen, but that's no problem for me.
Testing out a tentacle...
As the first major cutscene, I have to show the scale without going crazy with drawing too much.
As such, these two DemoBots up front do a bit of acting, and we never see them again.
Still doing cinematics.
It still requires a lot of drawing of new assets, and I just put in that Mode 7 effect for later cutscenes.
Plan B for this sequence.
Now with real-time cleaning action, and a stretching sprite for the arm.
Whoooooa, we're halfway there!
...in terms of cutscenes.
The DemoBots need graphics for cutscenes, too. Yes, they become a joke as the game progresses, but they're a natural enemy for a robot maid.
Some big motions require big animation.
The least I can do is try to get the big motions right before drawing all the other details.
