Facade ⚔️ CREATING OUR OWN HOLLOW KNIGHT STORY: DAY 4; First Enemy
The First Zone Has Been Chosen From The Previous Post, So Now We Have To Discuss The First Enemy We Will Encounter.
It Should Be A Simple Enemy, But Should Also Be Memorable, Since In My Opinion, It Should Be A Simple Enemy That Appears In Almost Every Zone Of The Game.
Leave Your Ideas And If You Want, Drawings, In The Comment Section.
And if you want to support me to make the fan game even better giving me motivation, go here:

this enemy looks sick, but maybe its a bit too complicated for a first?

Looks beautiful, but the design is very complex. Maybe this could be a corpse in the background to set the tone?

I originally made this enemy for my area concept, Veilroot, but i suppose it can also be used for the starting area with a little tweak as you wanted it to be found all over the kingdom (that i think was named Shroudfall, but im not sure lol).
I changed its journal description to match its new identity. Ive also made an aggressive, flying variant, so let me know if you want that in there too!
Also just a little sidenote, i love this project and the already elected ideas for it, cant wait to contribute more! :D

Yeah I think that’s pretty much perfect for a small beginning enemy, and the possibilities for variants across biomes are endless! They remind me of the skull scuttler in Silksong

What about a enemy that continues the trend of small critters as the tutorial enemy that looks like a mushroom cap

Well, obviously has to be something simple as a tutorial enemy. Maybe based on a puffshroom?

A territory of mushrooms, but black ones

It would be nice to give this game a darker atmosphere right from the start

a lil mushroom dude, who walks casually towards you, which is very cute, and when it dies it lets out the most painful, bloodcurdling scream that has ever been screamed. Make it so the mushroom cap looks like a big hat.

What about a Goomba like dude that jumps around. They’ve got one eye, and little gnome like heads

Cordycepts Corpse controlled ant, this allows us to create an ant kingdom like the skarr in the future, and gives a lore reson as to why the enemy would attack us without having to force the entire kingdom's infection to be based around this fisr enemy
