So this is a spiffy little game I found through YouTube: Fraxy comes in three parts; Game, Editor, and Config, which allow you to crate and fight epic bosses using a shoot-em-up engine.
You can plug your music into the game and have it play during fights, and the editor is simple to use (and has starcraft-trigger-esque events).
Download it here. (Use the link that has (English Only) beside it unless you like foreignese)
Arrow keys to move, mouse to aim/fire, mouse wheel/number keys to change weapons. EDIT: Also, right-click to boost.
Attached; a boss I made, which is an edit of the Cancer boss included in the game package. (Go to Options in the game .exe and set to Rank 100 for epic)
EDIT: Once you've gotten a hang of the editor, post your creations here: .fed files are basically glorified .txt files that Fraxy uses to generate enemies = low file size.
EDIT #2: Attached two more of my creations: The Mirage of Blades, a tornado-like boss, and the Berserker Vortex, its smaller, angrier brother.
EDIT #3: In an effort to revive the topic, I've attached some of my old (pre-everything else in this thread) creations; The Destroyer of Hope (trying to create a monster), and the Alpha and Beta Carriers (experiments with detach-joints and independant cores, mostly).

This is really nice, I'm going to aim for making a pretty damn inane boss.

The range/flexibility of parts + events means that you can make some
pretty crazy shit.
None.
Free Mode gets kinda repetitive and boring after a while. Fun and simple(in a good way) game though.
None.
Can you create parts via events?
None.

It doesn't seem so, but you can give parts the 'invisible' state flag, and then use events to change it to 'normal' when you need them, e.g. an armored shell that materializes around the boss when a certain part is destroyed, if that made sense. I haven't really delved into events much.
None.
If they are invisible, can they be attacked?
None.

No, nor can shadowed parts.
None.
I love this. Your Krabhammer boss is good and much more difficult than the Cancer. However, I don't like how the Mirage of Blades and Berserker Vortex don't really use any strategy. It's not really fun as all you do is just to hit and run.
None.
AVG claims it has a logger. So I can't try it from that site -.-. :-P

Yeah, I know, but they look
really cool in the editor.

By which you mean a keylogger?
-It's the download recommended by all sources I have thus far encountered.
-My antivirus programs have picked up nothing.

The events are confusing. They aren't working correctly.
I want to detect when 5 turrets are destroyed, so I have
Destroyed.
Add
Cancer Core
Variable 1

Try setting it so that when each of the 5 turrets are destroyed, they add to a variable1, and when the variable hits 5, act on the core.
I'm testing this now.
EDIT: Voila!

This seems like battleships forever... (I haven't downloaded it yet, tho)

It's like Battleships Forever insofar as ship customizability. BF is a strategy game, Fraxy is a vs boss shmup. Also, Fraxy has a much more powerful editor.
None.
Interesting. I'll give it a download and try it out.

I had the exact same event but it refuses to work.
Attached are the Pheonix and Blood Raven.
The Phoenix is a medium warship and the Blood Raven is a small fighter that you should fight in groups of 4.
This is really fun.
None.
ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO
Someone must send a ship I can't beat without dieing now!
The hardest one so far has been the crab thing.
I don't count the vortrex thing.

Have you increased the rank to 100 in the Options menu?
Also, I wholeheartedly encourage people to make bosses for the community; we could even hold a contest (once people get established with the editor) to see who's the sickest fuck.
None.
Mirage of Blades is too fricking rigged. It also lags like hell.
Let's try to make reasonable bosses instead of ones that kill you within 2 seconds no matter what you do.
None.
