Hey-ho Isaac fans, it's your old pal again Nikola Antibirthovic. As you know, I am the lead room creator for repentance and also creator of the Rainmaker. Today we're talking about some new enemies you'll be seeing in the upcoming dead horse beating (that's what DLC stands for).
I know one thing and that's enemies, so sit down, grab some orange juice and look at the gifs of these new monsters.
--Bulbs--
Let's get the biggest bastard out of the way first, the Bulbs. These are enemies you most commonly see in item rooms and other special rooms. Their movement is twitchy, they're hard to hit, and worst of all they take away your active item charge instead of your health.
The good news is that these guys are not variants of existing enemies, so I have to place them in levels manually rather than some fly enemy being randomly replaced with these guys. A while ago I saw a mod that makes every character start with the D6, sounds like that'll be stressful with these guys around for every single run.
--Grudges--
Now that Ed teased the Mausoleum track last week I suppose the cat's out of the bag. Yes it's true, the new mausoleum floor exists, please keep calm and contain your excitement.
The grudges are brand new traps that you can find on this floor, they come after Isaac much like the Slides you see in the Depths sometimes. There are a couple differences of course, like how they stay where they are after they hit a rock and can even press buttons to solve puzzles.
Oh yeah, and they can turn enemies into a bloody paste.
It's a great addition to the mausoleum floor and all we had to do was rob Derek Yu blind.
--Level 2 Willos--
After watching a bunch of videos of people playing the antibirth mod, we've discovered that people really hate the willo enemies from downpour.
Obviously the correct solution here is to also make level 2 versions of them for Repentance!
The good news is that these ghostly flies orbit monsters rather than you, making them actually less dangerous than you'd expect. They still shoot at you, effectively making these guys orbiting Horfs. They also have this neat behavior where if their host dies they move on to another enemy to orbit around.
What a great detail! Im sure whoever added that little feature lost sleep over it!
--Holy Mulligan--
Last time everyone's reception to the new four souls enemies in repentance was overwhelmingly positive. Everybody was on the streets parading the return of holy eyes in Repentance. People pulled over random strangers on the road to talk about their holy bonies, it was nuts.
Anyway, we're going to show off one more as a little bonus. It's the Holy Mulligan!
As you can see it's a cathedral mulligan that spawns little angel babies out of it's head. That's pretty cool, he seems happy enough about it.
Okay, Ed's telling me to get me off his computer already, so that's my cue to end the post here. I hope everyone enjoyed those gifs and I hope the rest of the repentance team gets some rest soon. As for me, I'm going back to my wooden hut to make some more rooms, Goodnight.
