I will work on the sprites of the final boss.
(And hope Kim replaces her keyboard since it no longer works.
Kim will most likely have to use an on-screen keyboard until
then...)

What's up with all those technical problems? Shane, Luna and now
Kim. God damn it :(

In Shane's case, it's more of a country-wide problem, as South
Africa has had an electricity crisis since last year,
apparently. Shane also has financial problems now and then.
My sister's planning on getting a new keyboard for Kim soon,
though, so Kim's technical issues will not be as bad. (Replacing
a keyboard is easier than replacing a motherboard, I would
assume.)

And due to Shane's inactivity I'm rather stressed, to be
honest...
Anyway, new keyboard, so yeah. Technical issue isn't as bad.
I'm not working a lot on the mod as before, though the little
things I do are enough to be considered "minor progress". Like
cutscenes. Cutscenes are minor progress, compared to boss fights
and new areas.

There's no doubt that it's undeniable that these two characters
are uncertified badasses.
(Then again, [abbr="Yes, the one who was born in the late
1600s"]Lavitka Horton[/abbr] is even more of a badass to be able
to defeat these two while she was blind and they were using
their full power. At least, that's apparently what Kim has
written down in her "dialogue between four characters" -
Serenity, Ilina and these two.)
Who am I talking about? Two post-Aidan bosses. Yes, they use an
Aura. Deal with it. 8-)
If you don't want to take a Critical Hit from spoilers, avoid

First off… Invidia herself. One of the twin goddesses of
Lightning on Newerth.
Her first phase is the same as Aidan Flamberge's first phase.
Boring, right? Well, it's still something.
Her second phase is the same as Ataraxis' final phase. Also
boring? Well, rather than one-eyed puppies, Invidia summons…
four-winged bats. How 'bout that.[/spoiler][spoiler=Phase

Last, but not least… Nemesis, another of the twin Lightning
goddesses on Newerth. And she's working with Invidia.
They use the same attacks, etc. as Heavy Press from the
unmodified Cave Story. They also summon Butes for whatever
reason; apparently the Confusion Zone is the domain of Confusia.
Plus they both know Blue Bolt-- * fried to a crisp *
It will deal 100 points of damage, and even then, they're still
holding back. >:D
At least, that's how I want it to be, but it's Kim's decision,
ultimately.[/spoiler]
So, [abbr="what do you all"]what'd'y'all[/abbr] think?

Sweet. :3
I really owe you one, Rita. :))
… but an attack that deals 100 points of damage? That's going to
leave a mark :o

Concerning phrase two: When mimicking Muscle Doctor's tackling
attack, wouldn't it make more sense for Invidia to be leaning
forwards instead of back?
Also, might want to work on Nemesis' poses to make it seem more
like they're intending to their actions. Unless they're intended
to be frozen in place, of course.
You should always think of the context of each sprite. It's a
lot like acting in this regard.

I'll see if I can try to make Invidia lean forward; as for
Nemesis, that would be difficult given that Heavy Press' only
sprites are: normal; falling/eye opening; damage
ASM hacking would be required to add more, if I'm not mistaken.
... though, I've lost motivation, so... we'll see.

For the hurt pose, I'd portray them as wincing. To do that, I'd
have them grimace (as in the moment) in addition to perhaps
leaning forward a bit in order to make it more clear. Only have
them keep completely still if it fits within their
personalities.
For their falling pose, I'd portray them as if they were moving
downwards, with the weight being on the lower part of their
bodies. Their hair may also lift up.

[spoiler]For this boss, I'd suggest having her change poses when
mimicking Muscle Doctor's attacks in order to make it more
obvious she's channeling them. As it stands, she only changes
poses when preparing to jump as well as when she's defeated.
You did this with Invidia in which she leans while doing the
charge attacks while having her raise her hands when summoning
the bad horde.[/spoiler]
