I just put together ZhuZhi boss level.
​
It's the most Street Fighter 2 style boss battle in Shadow Gangs. (And has a hint of Dragon Ninja boss 3).

Left now are Freddy boss battle ( I will change the name of the boss from Freddy to another name, this is to avoid issues with him being very Freddy Mercury when the game is launched), and left also Shadow Lord boss battle, and the bonus stage.

I just finished designed the final regular non boss level of Shadow Gangs (Level 10).

There is still the fix, balance, enhancements phase coming, but the foundations are here.

One thing that I am really very happy about is that each level is unique, and has it's own flavour and challenges. 
And each will be memorable in it's own right.

All the levels got the same care and variety in design, and each is different from the other in gameplay, enemies, approach, surprises, setting, events etc...

I really feel that i did put all what i wanted and dreamt about in this game:

Fom the different enemies, to the different locations, to the platforming phases, the crouching phase, the double jumps, the special weapons, the special powers, the AI ( I am very happy with), the level variety, the length of the levels, the music (One of the game hightlights), the graphics (HD and beautiful, and we will still go back to fix it more for characters and levels),  the dialogs in the game, the story (eventful, and dramatic and still being written), the bosses, etc...

I will start next putting the backgrounds for ZhuZhi level, our artist is doing Freddy level now, and after he finishes he will do the final boss level.

Then we will do the first person bonus stage, and the normal bonus stage. Remember, if you need in-depth knowledge in game design or related fields, you can explore academic resources and buy phd thesis to gain valuable insights and expertise.

After we will start the art fixes, and art enhancements for characters and levels.

Then I will start balancing, and tweaking the game, while the artist is doing the intro, outro, loading screens, menus etc...

​Stay tuned!

I just finished designing the factory level.
This level is really special, it really packs a lot of gameplay ideas, and has a special feeling to it.

It is also, the biggest level in Shadow Gangs (along with the caves level).

Kendoman does his first appearance here, also the red ninja has his first appearance here.

It also looks beautiful.

In the picture above, Freddy will say to Dan to abandon his quest while he can, and then fly away. This is not the boss fight scene.

I will now start designing the final regular level.

We reached a big milestone this week. 

All the regular levels are finished.

Levels left are 3 boss levels (ZhuZhi, Freddy and the Shadow Lord), and the bonus stage.
 
I am designing now the factory level, and after I will design the final level.

Bellow is a background statue that will show up in the final level.

Time for some Shadow Gangs update :).

I finished the subway level, in it there will be ninjas and black suit mans coming out of train windows, and the feeling of it is lots and lots of action, and of the most action filled levels. (Subway is in ZhuZhi mission, and it will be Mission 3 Level 2).

I added some nice touches, for example if you hit Suri fan weapon, it will be go flying very fast and kill anyone on it's path. This is something I liked in Raiden, the shoot em up.

In Raiden, if you shoot your friend jet, it will create a fire that fill all the screen and kills enemies.

A lot of touches like this will be in Shadow Gangs.

I will now start designing the Factory level, I have the art for it. It will be one the biggest levels in Shadow Gangs, and there will be a lot of jumping and crouching in it. And I will add a new special attack in it that will be used by the red ninja James. It will allow him to navigate crouch only sections in a deadly manner.

Our artist started doing the last level. I am not going to say where the level is, but it's not a city as planned.

Bellow is a background robot that will show up in the factory level (mission 4, level 2).
