Losing Momentum
Don't panic! I'm not slowing down so much that the game is no longer being developed. It's just the realities of life are starting to settle and a more realistic pace is being set for how this game will develop. My IT studies have started up again for the year and so my evenings are now divided between that, working on the game and any other important life things I need to do (like washing dishes...). My studies need to be my top priority (did you hear that future self??) and Cow Knight should be my lowest priority. But that just means I'm going to work extra hard to get that stuff out of the way so I can work on the game!

So with the slow down, progress on my enemies still isn't complete. Though I am finding it is taking longer anyway as the enemies move sets are getting more complex. So I'm going to stop saying when I will have it done and just keep working on it until it is! The problem too is that I have added more enemy types... there are currently 44 enemy types. I'm pretty proud of that number, but we shall see whether that amount actually has variety and whether they are all fun/interesting/challenging to face in combat. Balance is going to be an interesting thing to tackle once I can actually get some playtesters hands on it. Maybe by some miracle it will all work first try! Wishful thinking I know.
To make things even slower for myself I want to add a new type of post to this blog! Enemy of the Week (EOTW) will put the spotlight each week on one of these 44 enemies that I've created. In fact you can read the first one right here. So that's a guaranteed 44 weeks of content right there and that's not even including enemy bosses or any other enemies I decide to add. I'm hoping that by the end of the year those posts can act as a little enemy guide for anyone interested in that sort of thing.
So yeah, things are slowing down but I think we are still able to go at a pace that will help me achieve my goal, which is to have this game completed by the end of the year. Bit of a shorter post this week but I do need to get started on tonight's studies haha.
Thanks for reading, say hi in the comments and let me know what your favourite special skill (from any game) is!
