The Final Boss - The Abductor
From the start of development the goal was to build up the game to an exciting, challenging but fair final fight.
The result is a giant spider which I have modelled, textured and hand-animated attacks for complete with visual effects and sound effects made specifically to telegraph incoming attacks in the most intuitive way possible.
I was also responsible to write the underlying logic for the boss which meant designing a player detection system and dividing the fight into stages.
