Next up: the blue wizkid's animation and spell. Each of these spells reflect the element type associated with that color.
Green is lazer, blue is spread, red is burst, and yellow is static. This goes the same for the player's weapons.

Here's the full animation for the green wizkid. In the lore, humans are the only species that can't access magic directly. Instead, we need to use Tcite. Even a small gemstone on the end of a wand is enough to channel a spell.

Another animated machine enemy. In Neon Rapture creatures like this are given a form of life through the magic of a mineral called Tcite.

In an arcane war, enemies can appear on the battlefield at a moments notice. Keep an eye out for portals like this... and anything that may have come through it.

You might have noticed that certain enemies look similar or have a theme. There are enemy "groups" that you will encounter in the various biomes of the world.

Another one of my early enemies. I had always wanted his weapon to be a halberd, but at this small scale it's kind of hard to convey properly.

In keeping with the theme of early designs: Some times I just draw random squiggles and try to make something from them. This snake/bird with scythe arms was the product of one of those exercises.

This is the first enemy I designed for #NeonRapture.
My inspiration (especially in the first sprite) was "what if Shyguy but evil?"
They kind of evolved from there to an amorphous mass seemingly controlled by rough stone disks that look suspiciously like faces...

This was one of the first enemy designs I came up with. I always had the idea of living machines being a part of the games world.

Apart from changing the property of your bullets, there are also a number of upgrades for both you and your weapons.
These can be found in raid or purchased from vending machines at the bunker.

Had a good day of progress, mostly UI graphics. Anyone in the mood for an Upgrade?

I'm not sure about this one but I think it's best if we all just back away slowly.

Just finished my first small enemy sprite sheet. 24 creatures, six of each color. Enemy variety is a big deal to me and each of these guys will behave differently in game.

I'm trying not to post too much all at once because I'd run out of fun gifs to share but I had to post this little guy. That's definitely not a power up.

For the start of Halloween week I'm sharing two of my spooky/creepiest designs. The first is kind of like a bat... well, it has wings. The second is just a classic floating eye.
