Epic Snake Pit - City of The Snakes

City of The Snakes

The Epic version of Snake Pit

(Two dungeon ideas in a week, TannerLG?
I basically abandoned the Space Ship idea because it was too bland, and I’m positive destroying walls inside of a spaceship would probably lead to the air getting sucked out and your heads exploding… So yeah.)

Appearance

Similar to a Snake Pit, however to prevent rushers, certain walls will be unbreakable until the monsters that spawn in the room they’re in are defeated.
Contains water pools and quicksand.

Sounds good! Is there a sprite for “Cobra the Snake King”?


#3

Slightly lower cobra’s damage, even for an epic dungeon 450 is too much especially if it induces bleeding too.

Looks good otherwise, maybe change Stheno’s drops to buffed versions of the cyans.


#4

450 is a bit too much, yeah. I might change the 300 to 150, and make 450 to 300.


#5

Not really. I want to depend on the community for that one. :slight_smile:


#6

What original sprites you have there


#7

Well- you see- I uh- one thing I should-
Excuse me for a moment.


#8

I like it.


#9

your MEASLY idea has nothing on the BEST EPIC SNAKE PIT idea of ALL TIME, found on reddit, THE SITE for quality posts


in serious criticism, all i really have to say about the dungeon is that it’s not specific enough in describing phases, besides for ones that technically already exist. you should specify specifically which bullets are being shot in which phase. cobra especially seems highly simplistic - it has only 3 real phases, and lack of diversity amongst them.

also more specifics on the bullets - you forgot to add durations to the status effects.

now for some random “lore” bits that im just gonna question:

why is it lucky for the player lol

wait stheno holds two blades, she can’t be a mystic

wat

why is he laughing and what exactly is happening here i’m confused

cool


#11

idea 8/10
concept 1.1/10
items 0/10
boss 3/10
enemies 1/10
quotes 0/10

overall great Job. but try reworking on it.

insert hentai-related comment here

Medusa in Rome myth could easily petrify (stasis) people using her face. Perhaps a sprite edit to change her face might work.

Should be ‘protect thyself’. Thanks for pointing it out.

I probably should explain why.
He asked Oryx for his power in order to have the strength to kill the humans.
He received the strength, at a cost.
If you ever played Earthbound and saw Giygas, it’s kind of like that.
At this point, his mind is no more - basically, his mind is fueled by Oryx’s hatred.
His laughter is the representation of his mind becoming undone, into an insane amusement.

I had no fetish intent there-
OH.
OH NO.


#13

cold and hot.


#14

Thank you for the constructive criticism. Honestly I thought the quotes were really good, as well as the boss and concept… but to be fair, I deserve the 1/10 on enemies and 0/10 on items as neither really exists yet.
