Design a Boss For Noitu Love 2?!

By: Derek Yu

On: March 7th, 2008

I thought to get people’s juices flowing I’d let the people decide what to make a secret, hidden boss. What you have to do is think of something completely awesome and then give that idea to me and I pay you absolutely nothing, but you get a credit at the end of the game (if you really want to).

Sounds like a pretty fair deal! But in all seriousness, it’s for the fun… what more reason do you need? Hit up Joakim’s site for more info. We’re also discussing it on the forums.

I smell awesome in the air.
I should settle on a name

He’s lost all ideas for bosses?

He, he – it’s a hidden boss so I guess all the others are ready. =)

When is he gonna release Mina of the Pirates..? ;)

I love the look of this game

My god this game looks damn good for an Indie game! What I mean by that is, how the hell did he come up with a game that looks better than anything I’ve seen in the Metal Slug Series (which I thought were awesome 2d games). This looks absolutely amazing.

Apparently there are already zombie robots and a grim reaper boss, so my submission was rejected.

Love is over :(

Game looks sweet though.

I think you could tell if you watch the higher res trailer. :)

But grim reapers are a good idea any day.

Please support fullscreen at any resolution.

Man! The game looks more bad ass than I remember Gunstar Heroes ever being.

metal slug? come on now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Sex me up, and color my pants!

Joakim should make a gothic CV stylio game someday in the soonish. But honestly this is really nice, and I guess I gotta think about what mine is…

@menotknow,

I’ve completed all of the Metal Slug games and yes they were great, but Noitu Love 2 looks both great and crazy… there’s something about it that screams 2D side-scrolling-kickass-awesomeness. In the end (and only judging by the trailer mind you) I still think it looks better than the Metal Slug series (which were all great games).

I guess this means the game isn’t as close to done as I had hoped. :(

Here’s an idea: A super-omega darn. This time you don’t get a helicopter, you have to climb your way up its body ala. Shadow of the Colossus, taking out mini-turrets and regular sized enemies on the way to its head.

I think you’re the fourth namedropping SotC.

Also, all levels are done, this is the last boss fight I’d make.

Here’s an idea :
suddenly the game turns into a FPS, with a very detailed engine(I recommend maybe using unreal engine 3) because you’d have to see all the bumpmap details.
The boss is a huge, boos, the whole level is actually the boss so the layout will change each time you enter a room, and you’ll have to find what to shoot at in rooms.
For example one room could be the heart so you’d have to swim with/against the current, and you could trigger a cardiac arrest (the level would incorporate a complete health simulation for a randomly created creature)
And you could zoom out (or become smaller) and get to fight blood cells (the level would have to change to become a kickass shootemup llike ikaruga).
Oh and there must be a sonic reference in a level.
For example, at the very end, you’d have to program the AI of an electronic avatar, and then compete in a race against the “mind”. The race would be a two players sonic level with similar looking animals, during the race you could of course engage in sabotaging with a hacker interface you’d have to penetrate.
The game should incorporate a free-roaming mode (Ã la GTA) and a complete economic model.
This is the best idea ever! I defy you to find a better one. If you don’t use this idea, I’ll send the Church of scientology and all it’s lawyer after you ,and I’ll make sure that not one wants to sell you food anymore.

wat about a boss that can evolve into other characters like in noitu love 1? give him similar techniques to the main character, but more badass…unless there already is a boss like that.

Looks swee-ee-eet! <3
