EBF4 Foe Competition Update

I was gonna save this post for after my exams, but people kept asking about the competition so here's some new info. Requirements have been updated a bit too, so read those also plz.



The main map areas in EBF4 will probably be:

-Haunted forest: Red leaves, graves, etc. Mostly undead and forest enemies.

-Dark Cave: Lots of darkness, rocks, crystals, and mushrooms. Cave enemies (think pokemon).

-Old Factory: Lots of robots and sewage.

-Jungle Ruins: Aztec style, mostly plant and statue enemies.

-High mountains: Mountains and clouds, some volcanic caverns. Dragons, golems etc.

-Some small snowy and desert/beach areas will be mixed in there somewhere too.

-The areas are pretty much based on what foes I end up with, so they may change.



Foes that I'm looking for now:

-Some weaker undead/creepy enemies.

-Plant enemies.

-Some new Golems/statues. Reskins of the Clays, Golems and Monoliths I've already got would be cool too.

-Flying/wind enemies. For simplicity it would be cool if they just floated somehow isntead of flapping their wings.

-Keep in mind the requirements.



Some of my favourite entries so far:

Requirements (very important):

-Drawings must be your own work, and be original.

-I don't mind if it's drawn traditionally or digitally, but I'll need at least one colored picture.

-It's gotta be RPG-ish. Whatever that means.

-It must not be human. Preferably not even human-shaped unless it's a golem. Mainly because of...

-They must be easy to motion tween. This means they will be animated by just moving parts around and not redrawing anything. So they shouldn't have too many movable parts. (Humans and spiders etc would require lots of parts). Hell if it only has one moving part (for example, it's a rock), I won't complain.

-Think of some attacks and properties for them. Though this isn't essential because I'll probably change a lot of them anyway.

-Think of several varieties so I can recycle the animations for several foes. For example an ice version and a fire version etc.

-They should be different from existing foe types. For example: No more turtles, or slimes etc. Unless you want it to be a re-skin of an older foe, which is okay, but it'll have to be pretty much exactly the same shape.

-The main point of the competition is to save me effort in designing foes. So the drawings should require very little redesigning effort from me. Meaning they should preferably be in a style similar to me own, and of similar complexity to the foes in EBF3 (Most of my foes aren't very complex). The entries listed above are some good examples.

-Foes that win are pretty much just the ones that I find most convenient to include in the game. I haven't got the whole game planned out, so I'm not really sure what I'll need. So if you lose it may not be your fault.



Submission:

-I'd prefer if you posted your drawings on DeviantArt, because it's easier for me to keep track of them there, but you can upload them anywhere you want and just send me a link.

-Submissions from the previous competition will also be considered again.

-You can send in as many foes as you want.



Prizes:

-Millions of people will see your foe.

-You'll get a brief mention in the game's art gallery, and probably have your original drawing included as well, if there's enough space.



Deadline:

-The first winners will probably be announced fairly soon, but it'll probably be around 2 or 3 more months before I finish all of the foes.
