There are a bunch of possible enemies we can create, the above is provided as inspiration.
Please feel free to create animations for any of the above enemies (or any enemies you might imagine). I'm sure that if you do so somebody (maybe me) will create a script for them so they can be in game.
Some things to keep in mind are palette consistency, and art direction/style.
I believe Arne may still be working on the palette, but if you keep to the same colors as in the original, you should be fine (color conversion can happen later with ease as long as the original colors are adhered to).
I'm not a great pixel artist, nor am I a good animator - I'm sure there are others like me reading this. So for you guys, I suggest we take dibs on scripting enemies as they are posted.
If it seems to be taking too long, I guess someone will post here and ask you to respond. If you don't respond, that person can take dibs... I guess?
