Unicorn Quest's Common Enemies

     These are the grunts you'll be fighting the most often. You can fight off a lot of other baddies too, but these are the small guys that big guys can spit out. Save for a special few, these enemies don't have health based on points but are just defeated by being hit a certain way.

See descriptions for each common baddie below.

Status Report #41

     At this rate, I plan on having all the major pieces working around July 13th. If I  take a week off to visit my girlfriend that gives me 4 weeks to make all the pieces work together in a basic alpha of Unicorn Quest before school starts. That's exactly where I want to be. When school comes around and throws my schedule off, I want to only have minor things left to do. Things like tweaking enemies, storyline changes, bug fixes. I want an alpha by late August. That way, I can start recruiting testers...

Finished Unicorn Quest Item Sprites

      A lot of distractions and favors kept me busy yesterday so not much work got done. I managed to do all this though.

      With all these sprites done I can start coding them now. I'll spend today getting each one to work in-game. There's cupcakes, tonics, rings, pendants, and horseshoes. The latter three are all equips you can put on to power up Clover in some way. Horseshoes affect health and speed, rings affect your magic, and pendants affect your luck. I'll put chests in the overworld and test out taking items out of them. I'll even try to do a think where Clover holds up what's inside like Link.

Making Item Sprites

    I've been chipping away at these things all day. I still have a bunch more to go (pendants & horseshoes) so fun's not over yet. Cupcakes heal health and status effects while tonics restore or boost magic. There's also some Zelda style chests for players to plunder. Each sprite does something different and match an item in the design document. With these all ready, I'll start coding the item system next.
