I think Thomas is going to make bosses immune to bows, guns and things like
that. Or at least he's considering it. So you'd need a sword
Hi Hayden,
Actually, as of the current development test build only the sword can
slay enemy bosses. So the only way to slay the hydra in the game is to
use the enchanted sword. As it happens the hydra is underwater so a gun
wouldn't really work their anyway.

Now I'm curious how Angela will lose her weapons. Hey there won't be any
cut scenes in this game right? cause it could easily be explained through
a cut scene.

Hi Bryan,
Oh, yeah. I guess not. It would not be too fun being turned into a
spider. Although, Athena did that out of kindness not cruelty in that story.

Hi Shaun,
Well, I could do that, but I'd rather keep the weapons, including the
sword, random for the most part. If you don't find it on level 1 you
would find it on level 2 for sure. So you might not be able to kill say
Kerberos, but would be able to fight the minotaur.

Yes, in deed. The only problem of course is finding sounds for each and

Hi Karl,
I do think what you have suggested is a very good idea, is quite common
in video games, but unfortunately I didn't design the Genesis Engine
with this particular feature in mind. So I'd have to do some reworking
to implement this ability if I wanted to include it in future game

Actually, that feature was in Megaman 1 as well. It appeared quite
frequently on classic games from the 80's clear up until the present.

Hi Yohandy,
Got any ideas in mind how to make the bosses more interactive in MOTA?
It is, as you said, too much like run at it and shoot it which often
isn't challenging at all. The only factor in determining if you beat one
so far is how much ammo you have.

well its hard enough, saying that if you get a blade its dead easy.
If you let em attack you well.
if the boss could run at you, maybe jump over you avoid some of your swings
that kind of thing but I can't think of what else I could do for the bosses.

Hi Shaun,
That's just the problem though. Some bosses like a minotaur is to big
and too heavy to jump over you. They tend to stand in one spot and swing
a big sword or ax at the hero. Of course, in those movies and games the
hero is carrying a sword and not a gun which makes a big tactical

As to Mota bosses, well there are several things.
first, is multiple attacks requiring different methods of avoidence. For
instance, have a general close range attack, then an attack you must duck,
and have the boss use them intermitantly.

Well, in order to do that I'd have some serious upgrading ahead of me. I

Hi Dark,
Personally, I like the suggestion of limiting the ability to kill a boss
to the sword. Since the sword is an enchanted sword it only stands to
reason it would be the only weapon powerful enough to slay Kerberos, a
