Hey there! 

It's Friday and another Reynard's update is ready :)

Until now the balance was in favor of Melee bosses. It would be wrong if it remained that way for a longer period. But it would be boring if the new Ranged boss would deal a “regular” ranged attack damage. That’s the reason I’ve created Noc.

Unlike other bosses he doesn’t have health dependent states! Noc is aggressive from the beginning. His mission is to chase Reynard and hit him with his darkening / ethereal fists. If Reynard get’s hit by his fist, his vision becomes limited.

Not only that he’s shooting dangerous projectiles, he’s also summoning cursed weapons!

Besides adding Noc I've added all sorts of new stuff! Read full post with flashy gifs and pics here: http://hyperfoxstudios.com/reynard-boss-noc-ally-judy/

• [BOSS] New boss Noc joined Reynard!
• [ALLY] Judy joined the ranks of allies!
• [ENEMY] Added a Cursed sword.

In the upcoming week I’ll focus on polishing stuff! I’ll probably add some map on the loading screen, so the player will know how far from saving Prascilla he is. I’ll try to add options to the ingame menu, fiddle with dungeon progression and as always… add a new enemy or ally.

Next Friday is after Christmas so I wish you a merry Christmas upfront 😀 Have fun beating Noc and Santa!
