I like the "corpse is here for a few seconds, then disappears" approach too.

Nice scorpion!

Hey all, sorry I didn't update this sooner. I was out of town for a week.

The new version of the gobelin is up now, the one with the death animation. The .zip in the first post now has the new png and xml for it included.

Thanks!

you should add death animations and corpses, the game supports them but doesn't use them because the dev's didn't have the time or resources to draw them for every mob.

I added death animations to the gobelin and I love it. I'll update the links with the new version later, but it feels a lot more satisfying to hack a bunch of gobelins and see them collapse in a pool of their own blood

try some ogres,  as sort of goblin elites?

Yeah, that or some orcs, slightly bigger gobliny types and then ogres could be bigger. I dunno. I'll play around with it. I wish I had more time to do this sort of stuff

That sounds fun, but I'm mostly just playing around right now. I may make some more mobs though. I'm thinking of making something a bit bigger, a little bit more like a mini-boss.

Excellent! Thanks.

I managed to make the head a little less blocky, I think. made a few minor tweaks and updated the files.

Now for some death animations and corpses.

Thanks! I tried to make the heads less blocky from the side but everything I tried looked worse. I maybe could get it right with a semi-transparent color touch-up.

What are the attributes for death and corpses? just name="death" and name="corpse" or?

They look quite a bit bigger in the game and in the editor.  The raw png's are really quite small for all the assets.

The game does some doubling, or maybe even quadrupling of the raw assets. So the end product looks about 4 times bigger.

Here's my first simple stab at some custom monsters.

basic gretch:


elite gretch:


gobelin, with death animation:


Just unzip and put the .png and .xml files together in /actors under your campaign's directory to use them in the editor.
