Submit an enemy to be in the game! (mild spoilers)
🕑 Added 2021-06-16 04:55:31 +0000 UTCHey kids. I announced this in the patrons-only channel of my Discord today (which, if you're seeing this post and you have your discord account linked to your patreon account, you should already be in) but, I am making enemies for Phantom's Revenge. The enemies mostly behave the same but I've decided to give them all unique sprites and descriptions, just because I think that's cool. But anyway, I need 44 designs, and I've made about 30 myself, so I thought I would open it up to submissions from any Patron who'd like to see their own design in the final game.
So as you can see (spoilers) in the final build of Phantom's Revenge, the enemies (who were just colored balls in the alpha build) will be Sonichus and Rosechus. Phantom Horn is back in Ponyville to get his eponymous revenge on Nightstar, so he's got to fight his way through her minions to get to her (naturally). And as you can also see, I have 10 slots left i need to fill up with unique sprites. So, if you're interested in putting a design of your own in, here are my criteria.
First off, one submission per person! Second off, it must be a Sonichu or Rosechu. That's the conceit of the game, Phantom fighting through an army of Soni/Rosechus, so all enemies must be that. Also, the character must be original; no submissions of a character that appears somewhere else in the comic, this is a whole new crop. They can have unconventional designs, but if your design clashes with the art style of the rest of the game I might modify it to fit better. You can submit pixel art, in which case I've attached the designs as a template for you to use as a base. Or, you can submit a concept sketch/description, which I'll turn into a sprite myself. Also, every enemy in the game will have a short text description, which you can of course write for your own creation.
I guess that's all! I thought maybe some of you might get a kick out of seeing your design get murdered in a video game. If that sounds like a good time to you you can leave a submission post down below.
Been grinding pretty hard on this thing lately but I think it's really coming together now.
Talk to you all soon,

EDIT: I've updated the image to show more of the patron 'chus, aren't they cute? It sure would be a shame if someone were to assault their place of work with the unstoppable power of slime and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance.
EDIT #2: GROUP SHOT!
More spots available if you'd still like to request or submit one!

Sneedichu. Owner of Sneedichu's Feedichu and Seedichu. Please refer to this clip for design samples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ElIvNBYj0 This is pretty shitposty but I think Sneed/Chuck have key features that'd make for, at the very least, a distinctive enemy design; none of the current designs have headwear. A pitchfork would also make for a different weapon.
