I'm thinking of making a custom boss that is like a Beamos (like from Ocarina of Time) I'm thinking of calling it Beamosa and using the Beamos-like tiles in the Pure tileset, except recoloring it gold. It would be in the top-center of the room and shoot a beam from its eye periodically (the beam being a freeform combo w/ the damage 1 type) I need ideas:
1) How should it look? Are there better tiles i could use? What should its size be? (2 tiles high? 3 tiles high? 1 tile wide? 2 tiles wide?)
2) What should its attacks be?
3) Should it move or be stationary? Right now, i'm thinking it should be stationary, except its eye will rotate when it emits a rotating beam from it, so it will look from left to right, or from right to left. Perhaps at some point, the eye can move freely around the room altogether. Or maybe the whole thing should move?
4) How should it be killed? I'm thinking perhaps you have to superbomb it several times. Or maybe during a certain point when its gearing up for a superattack, its eye is vulnerable to arrows. Should i use flags for this? Or perhaps an invisible enemy?
5) what kind of music should i use?
6) What should the environment be in which i face this boss? I'm not making this for a particular dungeon or anything...so maybe you could tell me dungeon this boss should be for.
7) Should i keep the name "Beamosa" or change it? Perhaps "Beamos King" or something of your own creation. What do you think?
Please give me some ideas.
