The options, as we're a bit divided on this. Please read the thread before voting, and if you're not sure, hold off and wait for the discussion to progress before you make up your mind! Votes cannot be changed after you make them.

1) Boss. As discussed in the other threads, levels have player-controlled boss characters where it's Boss v. Everyone.

2) No Boss. Self explanatory. This also includes the IMPLEMENT LATER option, as we will revote at a later date if necessary to see if we want them in version 2.

My vote goes for No Boss, for now... simply because I feel boss gameplay would be repetitive, unoriginal, hard to balance, and we'd be biting off more than we can chew. I'm trying to direct the project towards a manageable goal, and this isn't very conducive to that end. I do think we should consider it for an additional game-mode in a later version, but that's not even worth discussing yet because we have a lot more to focus on. My vote counts only as much as everyone else's, though, so I want to hear counter-arguments if any.

I think we need to get something basic up and running before we even tackle this, and a simple, bare bones race isn't even forthcoming yet, I don't think we can go towards t3h bosses.

Additional game mode. Boss mode should be seperate. Standard battle mode should be playable first.

No Boss! / Implement [much] later

Oh, I forgot to mention: this poll closes in a week. I'm not using the auto-close, but that's when we'll finalize it. In the meantime, I'm going to put together a (very!) rough design document for the basic kart racing game-mode that we can work on from there, since even if we decide to add a boss it won't change much of the basics.

Lets at least get the premise of the game down first...don't want to get TOO over our heads.

Add 'em in later. We already have enough to discuss and lay down.

The people who voted for it, don't be afraid to discuss why... we're not going to bite your head off for being in the minority or anything!

Yeah, we might slap you up a bit, but we won't do anything drastic or uncalled for.
