Correct, the miniboss I'm working on needed a gloat phase after one of its attacks for better flow, so I had to make one in about 60 seconds so I could get back to work while I was on a roll programming.

Using genAI would genuinely probably have taken longer than this did.

I got myself thinking it's a great idea to make the game both top-down and side-scrolling, so that the side-scrolling gameplay can have more interesting combat akin to the 3D games. But, that means I'm basically making 2 games simultaneously. :D
