UFF

Hello everyone, I am Jetter. Got Fraxy about 2 weeks ago, first thing I opened up was the editor instead of the actual game xD.

Anyway, while I'm introducing myself, I'm of course going to be posting some of my creations that I've already made that I think are good enough, but is there anything a newcomer should be aware of when making or posting bosses? As in, is there a general ship type/game style/weapons setup that I can expect most people to use when going up against my bosses? Things people don't often use? Anything that is really easy for one ship type/playstyle to deal with but really hard for another? (not that the answer to any of those questions means I'll limit myself, though I might try to use it to my advantage) Anything really stale or expected that people hate to see? Any awesome bosses that I should try and take on? Becasue if there is any of that stuff I'm definately not aware of it.

Anyway, greetings again to everyone!

Welcome to the UFF. Enjoy your stay, behave, don't feed the dinosaur, etc.

I would say that most of the people use Standard/Attacker/Bullet Hell types, while Quicker and Tanker aren't used much. Most used player weapons are Bullet, Vulcan, Overloader and Soll Difusser, while Wide Bullet, stun and blaster weapons aren't used much.
As for player type advantages, Bullet Hell has a natural resistance to all laser weapons (laser, slow/reflect ray, ion ring, plasma ring) which gives it an extra, non visible HP bar that depletes before the visible HP starts to diminish. Quick moving attacks (say, a laser slash) are harder to avoid with Tanker if the player isn't aware that it's coming due to slow acceleration, while Quicker will have trouble moving between shot nets that require boosting due to it's quick acceleration, which makes it kind of imprecise.

But hey, you should focus on make the bosses beatable with your playstyle, then suggest a ship type/strat to everyone who wants to fight them.

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay.

As for your questions... I can't really answer them. I don't play fraxy much (ironic because I created this site).

Welcome to the forums!
As for questions, I think Firefox covered them all.

oh crap. Another boss maker. *runs
Just kidding, make sure to read the rules and have fun! 8D

Thanks people. And thank you firefox for the answers. Mainly I wanted to know if there was anything that I should really avoid, or at least warn people about.
