First Boss in the game

It's been a frustrating session of redoing graphics and quashing bugs, but there was some visible progress.  The first "boss" (really, just a named enemy character with a scene) is in:


Our heroine first encounters the kobold sorceress, Mitzi Bravepaw.

A quick cutscene introduces her (still no backgrounds at this point)  Discretion being the better part of H-game Chastity, our heroine heads back to the inn and heals before coming back for the fight.

...however, at level 1 with few hitpoints, a single spell nearly defeats her.

...however, she's still able to pull out a win, since Mitzi's a kobold has only has a few hit points herself, and thanks to a (now fixed) bug that prevents her from casting if the player's HP >= 1.  There was a scene for defeating Mitzi, of course, but I didn't want to put all the HCG in the blog posts. :P

It doesn't do her any good, though, as she needed to kill the regular kobold behind the boss in one shot, and didn't do enough damage.
...so that's all they wrote for that heroine.  Think there may be a coloration bug in the kobold game over picture for her eyes, too.  Well, more work ahead...

Still working...

Added magic (summoned) tentacle scenes for the non-gnome heroines when defeated by enemy magic users.  (Generic, bosses may get their own scenes.)

Dealt with ongoing bugs, colored the elf's board icon so now she looks like herself,  based on eyes colors, etc.

Should be putting in some of the bosses soon, and maybe fleshing out a bit more of the town, hopefully that'll lend itself a bit more to screenshots.

Secret doors and elves

Made some decent progress on the game, added a bunch of game over scenes that I'd drawn and colorized earlier, but that hadn't been imported or scripted.  For example, the elf has one if defeated by a kobold now:


I've also added doors and secret doors, plus fixed some bugs and given characters more species-appropriate names, although Deerwatcher may be kind of hackneyed for an elf:

Hopefully, next update in a week or so will show our heroine vanquishing some of her female opponents.  Nothing quite like some magically summoned tentacles...
