#mr cane

I’ve really enjoyed the boss design of Wallaru so far, with one exception.

I think Mr. Cane does a pretty terrible job of communicating what you are supposed to do from a game design standpoint. At first, I thought it was a boss where the gimmick was that using spells that hit the hostages below their 6000 armor auras results in immediate disqualification. Because of this, I used single target spells to kill Mr. Cane and his minion. His “careful now, mind the hostages” cheat dialogue seems to communicate this. However, Mr. Cane then proceeded to fully heal. I was completely baffled by this, because I was convinced I had played the fight completely correctly. After all, what kind of sense does it make for me to attempt to kill two hostages before the guy holding them hostage?

I then tried to target the hostages because there was basically no other option to try, but all my attacks just dealt 0 damage. There’s no cheat feedback or anything, your spells just don’t do anything unless you manage to meet a requirement that’s barely communicated to the player. I think a cheat message on this condition, basically saying “hey you need to hit harder to deal damage against these guys” would go a long way towards improving fight legibility. As is, I literally had no idea what to do until I consulted the wiki. From my perspective, attacking the boss just caused him to heal infinitely, and attacking the hostages was pointless because they were invincible.

After consulting the wiki, I also just don’t know that the hostage cheat worked properly for me? It seems like the fight wants you to hit through their armor, but not enough to kill them. However, because I am a death wizard who was using drains, my spells ignored the armor entirely. I hit one enemy enough to fully kill them, and I wasn’t punished the way the wiki says I should be? Idk. Just sorta strange all around, can’t say I’m a fan of pretty much anything about this one. I’ve loved the other boss fights though! Just finished the Dream Freddie fight and I thought that one was punishing but fair, and I had a good time workshopping strategy. I also loved the Morp fight, I was genuinely caught off guard when she ended my fight lmao

Jonathan’s Scars (prior and during S1) -click on images better resolution- [guess who is starting a new series of art?]

In this series, I’m going to draw all of Jon’s scars (from the avatars) in chronological order.

Oh! First art of 2024, let’s go!

- maybe I’m just coping but Mr Bonzo being a children’s mascot really reminds me of that comment that Annabelle Cain makes in the later end of s5 - something about making a kids tv show to spread the web (not saying that shes involved but it would be interesting to see some kind of development on that idea)

-WORM TRACKS??? JANE PRENTISS IS THAT U MY LOVE???

- quick minitheory i dont know if this is actually anything but in s2 i remember there being something weird in the tunnels with the worms trying to form a door - which was (to my knowledge) never explained - maybe that door was an attempt to dimension hop by the web (cause we know that the web was involved in the original attack on the institute) ???? idk someone please tell me if that was answered

-“introducing Beth Eyre as (???)”

-I know that they could be just reusing a va but HOLY SHIT MEAT PIT LADY???? THE LADY FROM THE FLESH RITUAL IN MAG 130???????? DUDE I AM GOING TO GO INSANE.

-I have NO idea what that means but god that’s so interesting

-(she comes from the episode with the meat pit… the big hole… and Alice repeatedly refers to the institute as a big hole… idk somethings suspicious about that…)

IM GOING TO GO FERAL

I was watching Arcane and noticed that Viktor uses his crutch ‘wrong’ as in I feel people are often taught to use a crutch/cane opposite to the leg they are supporting. This helps keep your gate even and your spine straight etc. But he doesn’t. And this got me thinking about how many characters do that. Dr House, Sousa from the MCU, John Watson also come to mind. I was thinking about why and then I realized that it makes their limp much more pronounced and noticeable. I don’t really have a point with this but wanted to share lol

Yknow I always did think that the way House used his cane looked uncomfortable as hell 🤔[thinking face emoji]

I was walking through a forest mid-autumn and the leaves were changing colors. I happened upon a gentle human-sized grasshopper who wore a suit, a monocle, a top hat and carried a cane. He sang to me, “Now a million bugs begin to take flight,” to the chorus melody of Retrovertigo by Mr. Bungle. Normal sized grasshoppers started to fly out of the leaves on the ground. I woke up.
