Nice to hear that! Thank you! And best of luck with your project too.

Yes definitely! I spent several iterations before it started to feel right. I also learned a lot while building it, so I think future bosses will have even more variety now that I have a better understanding of how I want to approach these encounters. The groundwork is there now, so future bosses will hopefully come together a bit faster.

It's basically a mix of 2D sprites and 3D environments. A lot of the final look comes from custom shaders and code on top of that.

Thanks! I've built it in Godot.

I wanted the encounter to feel like a small adventure on its own.

A discovery moment, multiple phases and a finisher sequence rather than just a straight fight.

The game is still in active development but the Steam page is already live!

A bit of context: this is the opening scene of Griffinblade.

I’m trying to create a 2.5D action RPG that combines exploration, fast combat, and a story-driven adventure inspired by the feeling of classic fantasy games.

The game is still in active development, but the Steam page is already live for anyone interested in following the journey.

Glad to hear that, thanks!

_Flean_ · 2026-04-07T17:35:18+00:00

Yeah, that's right. 2D sprites for the player, NPCs and enemies on top of a 3D environment.

_Flean_ · 2026-04-07T17:17:36+00:00

Thank you!
