Death Monster Improvements

[BasJW]

Description

Right now the same serpent is shared among all levels, and moves rather slow. Ideally, a visually different serpent is used for each level to differentiate each level further. Also, the serpent will move faster depending on what level it is, keeping the players on their toes.

Dependencies

• Animation frames for each serpent (Create altered serpent designs and animations for each level  #245)

Milestones

Goal 1 - Increase Serpent's Speed Each Level (#168 )

• Alter serpent's base speed for level 1
• Increment the speed for each level
• Conduct user tests for the serpents speed each level

Goal 2 - Change Serpent Visuals For Each Level(#167 )

• Change serpent animations for each different level

Whilst making changes to the Serpent, this bug will also be fixed (#169 )

Hey BasJW, I just wanted to let you know I found a bug with the serpent.

If the player presses Pause and then Continue, the serpent will more often than not stop chasing the player (but the player still takes damage on collision). I noticed there's a closed bug ticket for this here (#184 ), but I wasn't sure if this had been pushed to main yet. There's a new ticket for it here, if it hasn't (#200 )
