After making Batman & Robin, I kinda couldn't help but make a Batman-esque boss fight.

In all eventuality, you'll never see this in a normal run through of Synth.

@Meow: Not in Zack's house, that's just a placeholder. I got the true background for that done.
...and not secret either. Fought during the main story.

The Adventures of Powerstick Man: Extended Edition Promo:
Tired of random battles sneaking up on you and ruining your groove? Then it's time to meet the Fight Manager!
The Fight Manager
If an enemy party attacks, a pop-up window tells you who or what is attacking and gives you the option to FIGHT, RUN, HIT AND RUN, or use a SPECIAL WEAPON against it.
"You're Quite The Rock Star, Mr. Superhero!"
Then, once you've made your selection, a message in the lower right corner of the screen will let you know if your decision was smart.
The Battle You Previewed
Then, if you decided to fight, or if your other choice was a failure, you'll face those nasties that the Fight Manager warned you about.
So, why is this better than the traditional random battle system? Because you can--
FIGHT: Select this to jump right into battle. If your level is 4 less than the enemy party's average level, then the message to follow your selection may be less than encouraging.
RUN: Depending on your probability, you can try to avoid this fight completely. If successful, you'll raise your run probability and raise your AGILITY field stat. Buy the new item, Turbo Shot, if you want to perfect your odds of escape.
HIT AND RUN: Harder to pull off than simply running, the payoff for success is much nicer. Simply put, run away from the enemy, but not without getting in a cheap shot first. A successful hit and run will increase your DEFENSE field stat and earn you a third of the experience you would've gained by fighting. Warning: Unsuccessful hit and runs will not only force you into battle, but will allow the enemy to get a cheap shot on you! Buy the new item, Bag of Hornets, if you want to perfect your odds at pulling off a hit and run.
SPECIAL WEAPON: Want the best case scenario against rampaging random enemies? Buy a special weapon fitting for the enemy party. Need to kill off a party of slimes? Buy some salt. Want to distract the monkeys long enough to escape? Shoot bananas at them. Using the right (disposable) weapon against the enemy party (majority enemy type rules) will annihilate the attackers and double the receiving experience. Using the wrong weapon against the enemy party may yield less desirable effects, however, so buy and choose wisely.
So, with these special options to choose from prior to battle, you'll never have to hate on random battles again (at least until you tire of this gimmick).
Notes:
-The Fight Manager pops up only for random battles. NPC-triggered battles and boss fights do not permit the Fight Manager selection.
-Just because running through the Fight Manager fails doesn't mean you can't still run from inside the battle.
-If you prefer the pure RPG experience, you can turn off the Fight Manager and go back to triggering immediate battles.
-Running and hit and runs get easier the more you attempt them and the more you level up.
-Messages of success and failure have five alternates per selection.
-It will come with some hoopla.

Wow, fairly radical change on the RPG formula. I'll have to see what it's like in practice before deciding whether it's good or bad.
How does the special weapon option work? Are you presented a menu to select from all the special weapons you've bought? Are they one-use each?

Thought I'd do some hype for RMZ's new Mr. Triangle game too! ;) This is the music from an exciting upcoming area...

Yes for the most part. You can buy unlimited numbers of special weapons, so in that regard your usage is limited only by your funds. But yes, selecting SPECIAL WEAPON will produce a list of the special weapons you currently own. And, they are consumable, so don't expect to get multiple uses out of them unless they have limited ammo.
I say this in planning, of course. As of this moment, the special weapons haven't been designed yet, and the Special Weapons menu is incomplete. But everything else is in place. It was an extremely fast production. I expect to have special weapons designed and finished in the next couple of days.

This song is really great--somewhere between Secret of Mana and the movie Sixteen Candles. Now you've got me tempted to ask you for a few supplemental songs to add to Entrepreneur: The Beginning's 80s soundtrack since its original composer has moved on. But I'll restrain myself for now unless you want to volunteer.

I'm slacking on the game hype! It has been about a month since I last showed off some screens, and there's quite a bit.
The entryway to Atlantis, the lost city ruled by Octopi?
Spirit World bad guys look a lot like Digimon.
These are blue prints to something written in another language.
The track that VampiDucki made that excellent score for, is in fact Atlantis. The heroes go deep underwater. I'm pretty proud of this. Using tags on the load game script, if they are underwater it pulls up the color overlay perfectly. It's a really impressive area.
It ends with a really great cutscene and boss that ties into an unreleased RMZ/Vampiducki game. The whole Atlantis portion of the game is, in a lot of ways, a prequel to that game.

I love the gills on the hero sprites when they are underwater

The alligator is the only one who can ACTUALLY breathe underwater. I find it super funny that he has them, also that the manatee's helmet gets them too. Cartoon humor is the best.
