Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (4) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Heya people!

Work continues on the first boss fight of the game and I've gotta say it's shaping up pretty nicely! For you guys on Tier III: I expect to release the boss fight update this Sunday, if progress keeps going as smoothly as it currently has. If you don't want any spoilers about this boss fight I'd suggest not reading any further then this paragraph!

Alright, let's talk about wat to expect! :3

Battle phases

The battle will be divided in 3 phases, with the first two phases each having their own focus.

Phase one

During the first phase the ancient priestess will try to bind Kathleen with her status attacks. Each status attack has their own specific drawback, the armbinder will make you unable to attack for example, whilst the tentacles will drain you HP. On their own they aren't much more of a problem then a status attack from a "regular" enemy, only these status attacks can stack:

Furthermore, some of these statuses can synergize with each other, making them even more dangerous! And to make matters even worse, when Kathleen has all three statuses applied to her the ancient priestess will start a countdown. If Kathleen can't escape before the timer is up... She will lose the battle (leading to the eventual non-con game over).

Key to surviving the first phase is to stay on the defensive and keep that stamina high. Remember that you can use rest to regenerate more stamina or use stamina recovering items; I recommend stocking up on stimulants from doctor Goodberg before entering this fight! To keep things fair the ancient priestess can't bind you more then once in the same combination, so if you keep resisting you'll eventually escape all her attacks, causing her to progress to...

Phase two

Amused by your resistance the ancient priestess decides to move onto the second phase... Summoning one of her rubber sarcophagi! This will work a lot like the capture sequences seen at the "regular" enemies but it wouldn't be a boss fight without a twist... The ancient priestess gives Kathleen no chance of dodging the casket, so this phase starts with the player already partly captured! Furthermore, getting one succesfull struggle won't be enough to escape this evil contraption! During phase 2 a counter will tick; let's call it the binding % meter.

The goal of this phase is to get that binding % meter to zero so you can escape the sarcophagi! Be sure to keep on struggling, because if that meter hits 100% you will find that escape becomes quite impossible... If the player does manage to struggle out of the sarcophagus the battle will progress to it's final phase...

Phase 3

The final phase, where the ultimate showdown of the battle will take place! I won't tell you anything about this phase because it's a suprise; you'll see it when te update gets out. >;3

That's all for this exclusive dev update!
