Im currently busy making the boss editor, I figured if I want the boss making process to run smoothly (im making 30 unique bosses) I should have a decent editor. This has turned out to be ALOT more complicated than I origionally thought. I knew the bosses were complex, but making somthing that edits these complex bosses adds alot of.. well.. complexity. The editor is only partly complete, I still have to add the ability to edit the bosses parameters, add and modify turrets.. and on top of all that edit the bullet patterns - which alone is a nice bit of coding madness.

As you can imagion this is pretty fun to play with, I might release both my level editor and boss editor on the release of Frantic 2 to just to see what crazy creations people can come up with, although theres alot of things stopping this from being easy, sharing the map data, and playing other peoples maps is not really supported by the games code. Although releasing a player level pack is tempting if enough good levels are made. Or maybe just a series of bosses, as making and playing bosses is a hell of alot more fun than making levels.

Ill begin the beta testing once Ive got some fun working bosses.
