Patreon Weekly #33 - Jan 19th 2020

Beta-3.0 with the rework to DM-300 has been out for almost 2 days now, and I'm currently preparing a beta-3.1 with some fairly small fixes and tweaks. Overall I'm really happy with how the new DM-300 fight has been performing, so I'm mostly looking toward what still needs to be done for the beta!
The two major pieces of new content left to do are improvements to the game's last two bosses, and spritework for all the new/changed enemies. Previously I was planning to release the improved spritework in-step with each of the boss changes, but I've reconsidered that as it led to DM-300 taking a while (and the spritework there still isn't finished). Instead I'm going to go back and forth between mechanics and spritework depending on what feels more productive at the time, which should mean everything gets done faster overall, if a bit out of order.
As for the bosses, I don't have anything too specific to share yet, but I plan to move a lot faster on this compared to DM-300 so I should have specifics to share fairly soon. Most of what I previously said about DK should still be applicable, but in the interest of time I'm probably going to focus on a smaller number of high-impact changes, rather than a full overhaul. I'm currently doing some early experimenting with changes to Dwarf King's arena, here's what that looks like at the moment:
Lastly, as 0.8.0 has taken a lot longer than expected, I'm going to see if I can do another patreon poll before it's finished! I'll be spending a bit of time this week thinking up potential subject matter for that as well.
