A friend tested out part of a boss level for me and pointed out some very important errors that, in my bubble, didn’t see.

The issue was that Saevus’s exposed parts didn’t the player any reason to feel accomplished when trying to destroy them. It’s like, “Cool, here are some parts that beg to be destroyed but why?” His suggestion was to have something there that gave the player feedback and a sense of accomplishment no matter how small.

So I came up with this shield that’ll give the player a kind of, “Hell, yes.” “Gotcha mf!” sort of moment when it’s destroyed.

I haven’t tested out some of the ideas but I like the current layout that she’ll traverse during the battle.
