Who's saying it's sexy? Oversexualized does not mean sexy. Instead, it's too silly. I don't see any disturbing factor in it; the bouncing blobs are too huge for me to take the boss seriously. xD Oversexualized doesn't mean giant breasts either. About being it silly, fair enough, but why is people so focused on the breasts? Vepar had a Great Mighty Poo on her stomach and everyone rolls with it, why are people so focused on the breasts? It has a huge shard coming out of the forehead, a mouth in the belly, but no, let's talk about the breasts. I truly don't understand. Even more so with this game, because SOTN had a boss, two of them, actually with a female torso naked and no one batted an eye back then. If it's the size, what's wrong with it? It's not supposed to be human, I don't see anyone complaining about Seama having a head too big. What I find ludicrous about this argument is that it can be applied to many thing in this game and previous ones and no one says anything about it. People focus on the breasts because it's the primary attribute that sticks out like crying baby in a wedding ceremony. The first impression we get immediately makes us wonder...why? Why is it made to be so silly looking? It takes away from the potential creepiness of the boss so effectively that we must comment on it. It's not the nudity that bothers us. We're not offended like so many of you say we are. It's simply the comedic out-of-place bust that looks like it came from an ecchi anime. Nobody said anything about the other monsters or previous games because they didn't look so silly. If it's what Iga wants, I will stand by that decision; I don't really care either way. I'm not complaining; I'm merely commenting about a demon boss that should look creepy instead of hilarious so it would fit the game's theme a bit more.

I would put it on the art style of the game that some would consider the boss a little silly looking. If the game had a more realistic style as opposed to it's anime-esque one, it would be kinda scary. . . The pregnant argument does make sense; it's one of the reasons I don't mind if the bust doesn't change. Same with a few of your other points. Though without nipples, they don't really have much of a purpose... I still like my idea in the "Boss boobs" thread about them housing twins (of its same species) that will eventually birth themselves out of them. Thinking of it that way, they're definitely a little more creepy.

I had a similar problem with my PS2 controller, so I used my Xbox 360 controller instead. It makes me wonder how it would map a GameCube controller... I might try that.

Obviously it's because its a humanoid sea creature that it has such a bust. By living underwater, their weight would have much less of a detriment, allowing them to grow to larger then expected size. Or they are engorged for pregnancy reasons. Or both! I'd also imagine it spending more time just sort of crawling over the ocean floor and only swimming around when necessary, kinda like an octopus. Oh, geez, pregnant? That is a scary thought! I can imagine the chest actually being where twins grow and eventually birth themselves... My main point is that it's too silly. It's very unrealistic; it reminds me of typical ecchi anime with an oversized bust on some of the girls. Most women never reach that kind of size without being overweight themselves or having enlargement surgery. Sure, being a sea creature may exempt it from realism, but it's still humanoid.

Nudity and silliness are different categories. I wouldn't consider that chest nude; the nipples weren't even there. I just don't expect a sea creature to have such a bust; it would be bad for swimming around. xD

I'm seeing a bunch of arguments for developers being able to do what they want. I think it's funny how it's the complete opposite of what we want for politicians. We elect leaders who follow what the people want (or at least try to), yet some of us want the developer to not care what many fans think? Perhaps what we need for this topic is a poll.
Personally, I think the gargantuan breasts are too silly and comedic to fit into this game's atmosphere. It's not about it being oversexualized or offensive; it's about the darker setting you'd normally expect in a game like this.
At the same time, I don't really mind it; I'd just need to get used to it, and I'd then expect the rest of the game to follow suit for consistency. I trust Iga to do what he thinks is best for the game. ^_^

I have a question for those saying the boss is sexualized. How is this in any way sexy? You can't slap big boobs on a grotesque monster and claim it is sexy. It has a hideous demon belly mouth. Tentacles too. This is a horrifying beast, Having an exaggerated female torso only makes it more disturbing, not sexy. This boss is the stuff of nightmares, not wet dreams. Who's saying it's sexy? Oversexualized does not mean sexy. Instead, it's too silly. I don't see any disturbing factor in it; the bouncing blobs are too huge for me to take the boss seriously. xD

Here are my thoughts so far:
The attack animation has a bit too much lag afterward, but that's a gameplay design decision that would distance the game from something like SotN. I do like how the quick two-hit combo exists: attack while falling and immediately attack again after landing. The timing is different than SotN, but it's totally doable. Awesome! I also like how fluid the quick jump-attack is; you don't ever need to stop if you need to attack something! So far, so good. I hope they don't remove that kind of functionality.
When you walk up to a wall, she goes through it a little more than expected. I'm not sure if anything will be done about it, but it doesn't really matter; it's just an observation.
In the menu, you can ever-so-slightly see the bottom of her butt. Looking at the model, I think it's a bit too low; the butt should be a little higher. (If I'm wrong, could someone draw an x-ray outline of where here body would be that would show the butt that low? I don't dislike it; it just seems...awkwardly low.)
A quick turning animation doesn't exist; it uses the normal/slow one by default. The result is if you quickly turn around, she's moving when she should instead be still.
The neat pose after she kicks has a slight problem: her raised foot vibrates. This is especially visible when she's wearing the Kung-fu Shoes. I don't know if this is because of the ship, my computer, or something else. Does anyone else see this?
The boss' chest is...certainly interesting. I'm not saying I dislike it, but I think it takes away from the artistic value. It was quite a surprise, and it doesn't seem to fit. It's too silly looking. I don't care what happens with this, though; it's just my small opinion about it. Some people agree; some don't. It does make me wonder what some of the other enemies will look like if there's a huge-breasted boss at the beginning...
The title screen is nice. I always imagined that it would go to the title screen like that, with the music starting, then after a while of no player actions, it would fade to some gameplay or cutscene stuff as it follows the music. I think this is the best way to present an introductory video--entirely optional, and we don't need to keep pressing through it every time we load up the game. The music also seems to be made for this; there should be some movie action during those epic parts! Of course, that's a later-development thing; I'm just saying it now in case it doesn't happen; I don't want the song to be wasted...
Great job on the demo! I love the art style, the gameplay isn't bad, and the music is wonderful.
