Porcerer: This powerful porcine prestidigitator is a man-made monstrosity. All I had to do then was create a reptile skin material (I believe the base was an asphalt material of which I altered the base color, specularity and roughness) and give him some leather clothes befitting a rocker. I took a crocodile skeletal mesh, turned it into a static mesh, edited that static mesh with a plugin to remove every portion except the head, attached the head to the head socket of a Large skeletal mesh character, then searched for a suitable weapon to give him, and when I saw I had a guitar club the name 'croc star' immediately fell into place.

Croc Stars rarely ever perform for crowds due to the crocodile's inborn need to stay unnoticed, but they do still enjoy clubbing the odd traveler or two with their guitars. Credit to Suswave on Famiboards for helping me come up with the name.Ĭroc Star: This rockin' reptile is one of many creatures that came about due to the Amalgam Anomaly, an unexplained magical confluence that threw Mican into chaos for generations.

I added some coral swords to some of the tentacle sockets to help add a sense of 'swing' to its attack animation, otherwise it looked a bit silly. As you'll see the kraken got a lot of use mainly due to the tentacles but I felt the shell part needed to shine, and once I noticed that one of the coral meshes kinda looked like a helicopter blade the rest fell into place. So in this series we're going to take a look at some (or maybe all?) of the ~100 different enemy types I've created so far along with some in-universe details about them and a few tidbits about how I designed them.Īeronautilus: A strange creature who lives in the sea and occasionally emerges into the air with the help of its coral helicopter blades to hunt, usually birds but occasionally adventurersĪeronautilus (aero+nautilus) is simply the result of me wanting more flying enemies and having access to a kraken skeletal mesh. But I've been finding ways to modify them so much that the designs still have a fairly unique look. Since I literally cannot think of anything else besides this project in my free time I've decided to share more about my favorite part of designing this game so far: the enemies.Īs I've noted, so far I'm using free marketplace assets for nearly everything.
