Pale Jaw - Biome Specific Boss's

[Behemoth270]

At the moment Pale Jaw is used in 3 different biomes (Atlantic, Cursed, Frozen).
My suggestion is to make his home the cursed waters and make him look spookier.
OR
Make his home the frozen waters since he looks pale and ice cold.

Atlantic waters

"Swordfish Godmother" - (Suggested here)

A boss imagined for the atlantic waters. This would have anemones living on its massive sword like snout, visually indicating shields would be ineffective ( as the biome would have anemones to match ). Getting hit by this boss would leave a big hole quickly filling the room with water. The gunner will need to be smart with torpedoes, using them to push the sub around to avoid it's devastating attacks. Without shields the driver could assist avoiding attacks as well.
Originally suggested to spawn swordfish. ( to down shields )

Frozen waters

"place holder" - Giant Orca

Would have 2 attacks. A tail flick or charge to bash the sub around like a hammerhead. As well as a slow bite attack. This boss should move fast to quickly reengage after a tail flick or bash. Best to stay away from walls, otherwise you could be bashed around like a ragdoll.

Ill try to think of a new cursed waters boss.

Hey! So we do actually have biome-specific boss encounters planned, which is why Pale Jaw is just sittin' around being all place-holder like everywhere else. We could of course very quickly and easily add new placeholders to keep the biomes feeling slightly more unique, but they won't have any special attacks/properties since that work is going towards making proper biome bosses later on.

How fleshed out are your ideas for the biomes mentioned? Curious to know whether suggesting ideas for the mentioned biomes is worth while.

[Behemoth270]

I'm sure everyone would love to see new boss's as well as suggest ideas if needed.

Cursed, Atlantic, Dark, Volcanic and Prehistoric are all pretty fleshed out in our design docs, though Arctic seems to shift pretty frequently. With that said, all ideas are still welcome nonetheless! Nothing is set in stone here, which is the beauty of Early Access. :)

[Behemoth270]

I hate asking you questions and ruining surprises, but... Is it possible to give us 1 design your thinking of?
Maybe it will give us a better idea of what you're going for and help us think of our own ideas.
Are you thinking of stuff that isn't already in the biome and more unique?

wait a second... you are alive? Wow, i thought you were a myth! Could you give me a lil' opinion about the threads i made? I put a lot of love and effort into it and i am very happy with it overall!

Edit: once again, ignored. Is it just me that is too crazy or somethin'?

I think a lot of times one of them might like an idea but have to discuss it with the others. They each play a role, some of them are better at certain things.

I think Nick does most of the artwork and some coding.
One of them I think is more the networking genius.
One of them probably does most of the coding.

That's how teams work, i believe, haha

The giant Orca could have the ability that's mentioned in the following thread
