I started the day fisnishing the maps and the previous scene for the next floor of the Underground lab. A lot happens here, every room or scene require some sort of pixel art so the progress is slow.

Thanks to some reality manipulation by Mayor Knox, Fiona get a milky surprise. I changed all the sprites so Fiona face the viewer and we can clearly see Eclair and Mona.

The mapping of the room was quick, what took the most time was to make some graphic assets for when the computers are checked.

A strange room where the mad scientists conduct experiences on animals can be explore. Doesn't seem like it at first glance but there was quite a big chunk of pixel art to do for this one.

Later, Fiona and Eclair will be confronted again to Mayor Knox. The design of the room totally give it away, it's a boss battle. The first one in the game so far!

My idea was to go with a basic escape/action sequence where some of the tiles will flash briefly before becoming dangerous. Having the idea is always the simple part, but implementing it in the game is always the hard part.

For now, I test several mechanics and finally found something that could work. It's still in progress and it's probably going to take me a lot of time to get it right.

So, next week, I plan to work on that and hope to have a functional boss battle!
