[Concept Art] Fantoccios Outfit Changes for the Boss fight

Fantoccio has a couple of outfit swaps throughout the song, most notably a pirate outfit and a "fun house" outfit. The jester outfit came first but Ash changed their mind and opted for the Ring Master outfit. The Sherlock outfit will be for the show, nonboss fight section of the final act. Billie will be playing Watson.

[Boss Prototype] Fantoccio's Theatrical Show Full Breakdown WIP

Here's a small update on the boss fight thus far and some behind the scenes insight into our development. Fantoccio's boss fight is an interesting process for us, and certainly a learning experience. Not only is it our first boss fight, but a musical one, meaning we have to time the attacks to the music. To tackle such a big task we broke the song into segments, fortunately, Daniel Ingram created concepts for us to work with the song lyrics he made.We've been coding in the major attacks and testing them as we go, we want to finish t...

[Storyboard] Fantoccio Boss Fight Ending

Minor spoilers!This will be the cutscene that plays at the end of Fantoccio's boss fight, however, this is only half of the storyboard for the full scene, the last frame is a joke Ash added and I kept in. We will not be revealing the other half as it contains end game spoilers. This will be edited slightly as we had to mess with the order of the frames to fit the song, so you'll notice the head falls but is still in place in the last frame.

[Prop Concept Art] Fantoccio's Pride

Originally Jovi was working with Ash's original concept for Fantoccio's stage but adapted it with feedback. Ash stated that the stage should almost be more "clockwork" in feel. Like a giant clock mixed with into the stage. Jovi had an excellent idea of a giant clockwork Fantoccio head above the stage that moves around during the boss fight[MINOR SPOILER WARNING]Normally I wouldn't explain a metaphor as it ruins the symbolism behind the scene, but I wanted to go into some of the thoughts behind the process of this concept.The...

As we reanimate the new Billie we are also reworking her jumping, to make it more animated and bouncy, just like a real goat!The first change is the current system of how Billie's jump works, changing it from a state-based system to an animation blend. Note the following animations being shown are rough tests and not indicative of the final animationThis will also involve more movement to Billie's jumping direction, giving a more satisfying jumpNext is squash and stretch, Billie's body will stretch and squash more depending on her f...
