Samga's Mini-boss system. (Patreon)

Heyo again! The audio above is a little sneak peek of Wishful Simping's mini-boss remix of Samga's theme. I'll explain the current plan for the mechanic of her scene. It is all subject to change depending on how things feel once fully together, but here's the idea.
The mechanic will be straight forward, as it is really meant to introduce the player to the idea that the mini-boss characters to come will break the mold a little bit.
At the start, everything will start off as usual. You will choose modifiers, and your objective remains the same. Fill the progress bar.
Heads up: Faces are incomplete in the current screen shots. (placeholder mouth, etc)
The goal will start by simply completing the usual progress bar, however this time it is not the win condition.
Samga will have a Stamina bar. Upon completing the normal progress bar, you will be presented with a very simple timing "test". Completing it will cause "damage" to Samga's Stamina. The amount of "damage" done will depend on your performance in the "test", and will multiply based on your modifier multiplier. (If you have chosen Red, Gold, and Silver modifiers, you will do more). This means if you only use White modifiers, you will likely need to do more rounds to deplete Samga's Stamina bar.
Each round will likely cause a higher decrease rate, or some other related overall debuff to take place. Each round may get more difficult, and the scene as a whole will typically take longer than Endurance rounds.
The timing "test" is kept very simple, as to make this transition easy to understand. Eran, Nammi, and Yu/Mei will have mechanics different from this and may be slightly more complicated.
By next week I am hoping to have this boss scene wrapped up and to have made at least some progress on Toto's extra scene.
Oh! I'm not sure if I mentioned this part before, actually, but the condition to reach Samga's boss scene is to have completed at least 8 character's base Hscenes. Completing this scene will unlock the next section, and the next 3 characters in future versions(Nammi, Eran, and Yu/Mei). This means that you technically do not have to complete all of the girls in the first area in order to beat the game. In case there are characters you aren't entirely interested in.
Anyyyyways! I'll keep plugging away at this. I want to take the time to make it fun, and refreshing to play. Thanks for coming by, and I'll catch you next week!
