A Starving Christmas, a boss fight mod late by 3 days!

[Irontaco]

i would just like to share this mod we just completed. Includes a buncha items, excitement stat and a boss fight with custom art/animations, including some that were made in flash via frame by frame.

the whole thing starts from the very first day of winter.

 

the boss fight consists of 4 stages where Santa's shot patterns move in different ways. The last one is near insta-lethal if you get caught in one of the 8-continuous big shot streams and he has a lot of health so he's hard to beat.

 

it was really fun (and hard (kinda frustrating too)) to work on this mod but unfortunately i began too late which affected the development for both me and malacath greatly (and cut out some features too), but it all went well.

 

hope you guys like it!

 

 

 

It's a freezing night in the world of Don't Starve. As you attempt to keep the warmth from leaving your body, you see a faint light in the sky, it's Santa Claus!

Your face changes from excitement into horror as the light crashes onto the ground, but it's not time to go investigate at night.

As the sun comes out, you realize Christmas has begun! You are excited and gifts rain from the sky as you do your Christmas activities.

FEATURES:

- A BOSS FIGHT! Santa the Claus has fallen from the sky onto the Don't Starve world, he seems like a jolly fellow...But there is something off about him... He'll appear in any day 20-25, Gear up! (WARNING: Santa is a extremely tough boss and he will easily kill you if you're not prepared. The fight is long, bring illumination! His fight is optional.)

- Excitement stat! From day 20 onward you will be able to use excitement! As you build things, have fun, and giving gifts to the creatures habitating the Don't Starve world Wilson will get more excited for Christmas! The next morning you'll have the chance to have a gift which is better the more good you've been!

- Many gift tiers, from Common containing pure garbage to Legendary containing fancy garbage! Being naughty can get you strange things and being nice can get you equally strange things...Or being insane...

- Snowballs! Find them randomly when it's snowing and throw them at stuff, it's fun for Wilson!

- Many mysterious items and rewards from Santa the Claus...

-Difficulty Settings, are you an Elf? Are you just Santa Claus? Or are you Santa McBeatyouup? You choose!

-Custom artwork and animations!

If you find any bugs, then say so in the comments. If santa doesn't die properly, reload the game, and you'll get your rewards!

This is pretty cool, we need more mods that spice up late game and this is a welcoming example. Does it come with obelisks naturally? (downloading right now)

 

Santa must fall! Viva la Christkindles!

Santa must fall! Viva la Christkindles!

 

When Santa transforms into his parasitic version, he spawns the obelisks around you to trap you.

 

They will only dissapear if you or him dies.
