Secret IGA boss' only weakness, where he's being too distracted whipping those candles and shows his back to you for his untimely demise.

My idea was to potentially gain the ability to create candles of your own. That would be neat. What would you have the thrown candles do? Maybe have the thrown candles hit the enemy and deal damage, or hit the floor and generate hearts/money? Since the candle skeleton will be gone forever, you'll need something to replace him. They'll cost some MP to prevent abuse. Or have them cost no MP, and have the candle skeleton be insanely hard to catch/kill. Secet IGA boss' only weakness, where he's being too distracted whipping those candles and shows his back to you for his untimely demise. Haha, neat idea. Maybe while the candle will deal miniscule damage to regular enemies, somehow it'll deal the most damage to Igacula as his weakness. |

Oh man, This is way off topic but I just had a thought...
Should the candle skeleton have his own room in the castle with mountains of candles? Like scrooge mc duck has money, the skeleton must have enough candles stored up to swim in!
That would be a fun room to visit =)
... But probably best not to use fire magic.

i think skeletons will go one of 2 ways, either there will be a large variety of skeletons or none at all, there are shortcuts you can use when putting together a solid 3d model because its fairly easy to predict what will be facing, skeletons will require quite a bit more work because they are hollow and you can see multiple angles of the model at the same time, like in the ribcage where you can see the outside edge of half of it and the inside edge of the other half. i for one hope they do include skeletons because im curious how they will handle the shaders playing off the mesh, will they give most skeletons a modified ribcage where its solid like an armor plate or clothes, or will they stick guts inside of them so theyre more like flayed zombies and not hollow, or do they have some neat trick up their sleeves for shading multiple layers of an oddly rounded object? ^_^

Here's an idea for a new smiley.
How about those star-shaped "eyeball" enemies shown in this video below...
Maybe the resolution of those enemies in this video isn't too clear on the exact details of these enemies, but someone could try.

I must say the more I think about it the more I like this idea. Except that I would make one change to my statement above. Not only would the candle skeleton run away if you got too close, if he took any damage he would also immediately run away as well. On easy/normal difficulty if you manage to kill the candle skeleton the skeleton will eventually respawn. It should happen maybe after 10-15 minutes and/or after exploring X number of rooms as in room transistions not necessarily NEW rooms. For the room transitions maybe somewhere in the range of 15 to 20. During that time all of the candles you destroy stay gone until the candle skeleton respawns. After he respawns all the candles in rooms that are not adjacent to the room you are in are instantly respawned and the timer previously described starts for both adjacent rooms and then follows the normal rules. If you are playing in hard or nightmare mode, if you kill the Candle skeleton he is gone for the rest of that game and does NOT respawn.  And NEITHER DO ANY OF THE CANDLES YOU DESTROY!!! XD  I see the cons for killing it, but what are the pros? What should players get or potentially get for slaying the candle skeleton? Honestly? I'd go oldschool on this one and say that there are no "pros" to killing the candle skeleton. There were plenty of instances in Rondo of Blood (and Im sure in SotN) where there were things you could interact with that did nothing, and others that the "reward" was for leaving them alone because if you messed with them something bad happened. *cough* the confessional *cough* XD  |

I think a lot of players would kill the candle skeleton expecting a reward of some sort, because we've been conditioned to expect one by this point. Having the opposite happen would be amusing to some, I admit  |

And downright game breaking if it caused candles to stop spawning forever. There goes your money generator, hearts! Which is why I only suggested the perminant outcome for Hard and Nightmare modes. In Easy/Normal/Medium difficulty settings (which ever of those there are in the final game) the candle skeleton would just stay gone for a good while before finally respawning. You know... Just to teach the players a little lesson and give them a nice heart attack.  The confessional could hurt you, but I think you also had a chance to get an item. Well and I think there was also some sort of indicator as to when it would do which function too.. But like in Rondo of Blood when you are going down the water fall a string of eagles fly in with boxes hung from their feet. If you hit the boxes there are sub-weapons and I think a pork chop in one that you can get. But if you hit the eagle instead of the box you get nothing and both the eagle and box go flying. I know there are other similar traps and tricks in Rondo, but at the moment I'm having trouble remembering them. |

Every once in a while I actually have a good idea. Today I thought about how I haven't been taking advantage of the Censor feature. I don't censor much. Then it hit me... why not "censor" the old names of our custom smileys and replace the word with the word that summons it's proper counterpart? It works like a charm. I will be able to update all the smileys and have the old posts fixed along with them. I am moving this to the suggestions area. Feel free to make suggestions on new smileys or complain about the existing ones.

On Tumblr Genemag said we can use their sprite work on the forums. I just haven't had time to convert them to smilies here.

I am a fan of that hammer-smash sprite...everyone needs a giant hammer in their lives for when you absolutely, positively have to pummel something into submission. Plus it's a good "angry" emote!
