There is finally boss music. It was hard to find a good track because I don't want anything too epic as I might use that for a better game.

@BigDawg869789 @jew I wouldn't work for him regardless of the pay because "everything app" means digital ID and social credit system.

@icedquinn I said Free SOFTWARE Extremist not Free Speech Extremist.

Free Software Extremist users are more trigger happy than Poast users.

Ending and credits now have a background too. I was inspired by early fantasy RPGs like Final Fantasy 1-7 and the first two Ys games which featured a space background, despite none of those games (except FF4) taking place in space.

Space backgrounds are often associated with deep philosophical thought or the meaning of existence. Or maybe the protagonist is transferred to another world after starring into the mirror. I don't know. I just felt like the ending and credits screen needs a background too.

Boss now only appears after the player is out of the doorway and the trap-door closes. This prevents the player from leaving before the shutting of the trap-door.

@PurpCat @RK7 The killing of 32-bit support on macOS truly killed whatever was left in terms of gaming on it. Case in point, the only way to play CaveStory on Mac now is to use the nxengine or whatever the SDL2 fork is for that.

@bonkmaykr @PurpCat @RK7 Well there is the issue of proprietary data containing scripts for things like enemy behavior and cutscenes.

@PurpCat @RK7 Escape Velocity looks like some Starflight clone with prerendered graphics.

@PurpCat @RK7 I know that, but the whole "sharing is caring" thing is probably why nobody outside of (Anti-Capitalists and Austrio-Libertarians) gave a shit about FOSS until the Snowden leaks.

You should see all the old FSF interviews and documentaries from around that time. There main talking point was "sharing is caring". Like I'm not a big fan of intellectual property either, but I don't think that sharing copies is the most important thing in the world.
