Some of these fixes are the result of our work and progress on the upcoming standalone sequel to Figment! You can check it out here :)
We've been working on The Jester's boss fight(s) recently and it seems like a good time to share! His carnival themed outfit and style in fighting is similar to that of a circus. It is theatrical, musical and overwhelming. Here's how we structure the fights, coordinating carefully with the music to put the attacks on beat and create a visually pleasing event at the same time.
Creating musical boss fights is an essential part of the Figment universe. Their theme songs give little tidbits of information, describing why they are spreading chaos in The Mind.

Greyboxing stage: prototyping boss mechanics but also exploring general game mechanics, puzzles and enemies.
Step 2
We thought of an interesting stage shape to go alongside the mechanics developed above and put on some temporary textures, models and music to get a feel for the fight as a whole. As the music is essential, getting the timing right was a barrier of its own.
Step 3
Here's one of the animations we implemented into the fight.
And this is the final version of the stage, ready to be placed in-game.
Step 4
Some crisp animations and different fight patterns, it's all coming together.
Step 5
And this is the final result! A cleaner background, some lighting effects and even wildlife (if you can spot it) have been added.

Exclusive showcase of Figment: Creed Valley
Hello from the northern lands of Denmark! Hope you're all safe and sound :)
Figment: Creed Valley will have a playable demo during the Steam Games Festival (June 16th to June 22nd). Klaus (CEO) and Niels (Game and Sound Director) will be playing through never before seen levels of the game!
Cerebrum City has succumbed to darkness, the Black Hog is here...
The once lit-up and vibrant roads are now devoured by darkness. Only the faint remains of what used to be Cerebrum City may guide you to what caused this chaos, The Black Hog.
Dusty, The Mind’s courage is needed once more to defeat this new nightmare. Restore the balance by shining new light onto the murky obstacles that block your path.
As intimidating as it may seem, the tusk-wielding foe is not new to The Mind. It feeds off stressful situations that may arise when facing new and challenging tasks.
Dusty is confident that it can be defeated: “Relax. The Black Hog visits here everytime the mind is under a bit of stress. Let's find a way to light up the mood so I can get a stab at the dark!”
This update is for Figment's sequel, Figment: Creed Valley. Check it out here!
