A bunch of different variants of the Puppet (one of the most basic and important Stringsnipper enemies)

They’re amazing

Thank you!

I love these guys

I love these

Thanks

Hivestrider kinda reminds me of Beehoss

Beehoss reminds me of FNAF World

?

It just looks like a FNAF World enemy

I guess I can see it
But do you mean the Dream Team version (red eyes and spikes) or the Superstar Saga version (absent eyes and no spikes)

Both

I was actually hoping to have a Beehoss type enemy so I'm a big fan of Hivestrider

Thanks

I do have a bit of a different idea for Hivestrider though. I'm thinking it could just be the hive, using the leaves as wings, and it spawns bee/wasp enemies

Then we should change it to Hiveglider

Yes

who will win the arms race
the "ptooey"s or the "✋✋✋"

Fun fact: Mukky is the only normal enemy to appear in the Glade of Misdirection. There's an all grey version called a __ that acts as Will's phobia boss (the one really high in the trees)

the scarey ptooey

It has the highest defense of any enemy in the game (aside from the Rockface)

the durable scary ptooey

ANYWAY.
Mukky and Handsy could possibly live in tandem

Yes, very likely
What if Handsies held up Mukkies with their tail, making them aerial enemies for a few turns (unless you kill the Handsy, which makes Mukky fall and take some damage)

Yes

what if there was another thing where a Mukky would spit in a Handsy's hands and change up what's pretty much a barrage

And I will keep the name Hivestrider for the stronger version that shows up in Bubbling Bog

Not many places to rest in a bog, so the sticks probably work as landing gear

I meant like I'm probably gonna scrap the sticks and make it a flying type enemy

Oh

I would draw it but I'm tired

:D

she flies

Love

I'm in the mood to draw some enemies now
Also Handsy is very similar to an enemy idea I had called Mukky, it's a cute little eyeless monkey whose main attack is spitting stuff at you that inflicts statuses

the two conflicting monkey species

:)

My favorite is the Nimbus puppet

Same actually

ruiner of picnics

Ok so I need your help

With what

Remember when you made a few snow enemies?

Yeah

I need a few enemies for another area
Or at least ideas
This area being a tropical rainforest

Hivestrider is a hive that moves by wind pushing on the leaves like sails. Even wasps have to adopt new mannerisms in this rainforest.
When making Handsy, I was wanting to do something with monkeys, and then I thought about how many hands they have. So I made a Monkey that was all hands. If this isn't good, I could just make a monkey that's a banana.

Like let's take Hiveglider for example
It's a beehive, which is fitting for the dense rainforests of Tropiclock Island
But it also has eyes
And flies using leaves as wings

Yeah

?

over the span of a few turns
Mukky will start spitting into Handsy's hands
so it's hanging onto some spit
then, at one turn, the Mukky spits at the crew and Handsy tosses the stored spit
which barrages the crew

freaksnipper 😭

I have a terrible joke to make

?

Development of Stringsnipper is now permanently canceled. /j

following allegations of mr mystery being genuinely unfunny

THE F**KING MOUTH IT LOOKS LIKE MINOS PRIME 😭😭

thy hawk is TUAH!!
secret miniboss

It's just a living beehive, it spawns in enemies called Beebles
I don't want any of the enemies to be too realistic or possible
I wanna be as weird as I can with the enemies, because that's what my inspirations did

Ohhh
Got it

In my opinion, the weirder, the better
Like in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there's this enemy that is an erlenmeyer flask with eyes and a grass skirt and it holds two torches
I don't know who came up with this or what substances they were using but it's amazing

This is the type of shit I aspire to come up with for Stringsnipper /srs

I will remember this when concepting enemies

But every enemy can't be random things thrown together. We need area-appropriate designs too, like Shrubbitt, Hiveglider, Porcupolar, Highroller, etc

Of course
we only get ONE wacky enemy per level

I mean like
I want em to be a nice mix of area-appropriate and f**king nutty

Makes sense

I came up with this
a mix of a tribe memeber and a germ

Im f**king sobbing

he instantly dies because he tries to muster a huge spit blast and then chokes and dies
and then you get a bar of soap
that slips out of your inventory when you take a few steps

Hiveglider (Tropiclock Island), Hiveglider R (Bubbling Bog), and Hivestrider (Puppet Palace)

what if it has an attack where a huge stinger comes out the bottom
huge retractable spice that's made of a wasp nest like shape

?

Maybe

Or it could just be made of bees

*wasps*

I love it. I will call it Pathochief

Chief is kind of a leader role
what if it was accompanied by a Pathocleric and a Pathotrapper

I like this but it's starting to get a bit too in-depth for a basic enemy. Also I like to keep enemy variety in each area limited to around 4-6 different enemy types, so three different versions of one enemy would kinda clog up the works and take up a bunch of spots

Alright
I think the only difference between the three would be maybe different colors and names

I'll just rename it to Plag

Okay

I love the design btw very Mario & Luigi esque

Thanks

I did have this one enemy idea called the Keyboard Imp

Tell me

Also the mask flipping changes its stats and attacks from more offensive to defensive

Makes sense

It starts more offensive, then gets more defensive with less health

Yeah makes sense
