Drawn on January 10, 2024 and December 18, 2023.
An enemy sheet, I knew most of the top shelf designs were temporary because I always thought a turn based rpg should have interesting looking enemies to fight, even if they were minor. Look at the slimes in a not-turn based rpg, Terraria. The slimes serve their purpose fine as weak little enemies to kill whenever they show up for a few seconds. Now imagine getting interrupted in an rpg and you’re sent into battle, and what you have to fight are three Terraria slimes. And they all have the exact same attack, “jumps on you” or some shit. That sure is fun to look at for two minutes, isn’t it?
Bottom Shelf consists of the Mecha Stalker boss and lunch lady mini boss from a previous post, and four new mini bosses. These were the Mortis brothers, Pallor, Algor, Rigor, and Livor. They’d fight you as a group of four enemies at three different points in the game.
Second page, enemies I made for the first areas of the game. Notable battles were in Katie’s gameboy (something I’ve brought back in the current komics a few times) as a tutorial level, a dank street at night, the crashed school bus outside the school, and the first mini boss within the school.
You would only play as Katie and Ruben during these first few battles. At the start of the day the game takes place, as the demonic portal opens, Ruben would have become physical as reality broke, so that’s how he was able to deal damage.
The Dealer, the Drifter, and the STD Giver (a very early Clarke’s mom) were a trio of enemies Katie would fight due to bumping into them accidentally. Originally the town was often portrayed as a danker place than it currently is in canon. Currently I like to portray it as a small town that’s just starting to try and develop into a city and often gives off cozy vibes, but here it was right next to a major city and had a lot of dirty environments and crime.
Gene Crackman was another random miniboss for somewhere.
The Creep was fought sometime after the trio above, he would corner Katie in an alley, but she’d beat him up pretty easily.
Then Katie would go to sleep and be sick the next day, which is the day the demonic corruption happened at the school and is why she’s the one that has to save everyone.
But during the sickness she’d have a weird dream and this is where Ruben would join as a party member. You’d fight her fever dream monsters.
Then she would head off to school and fight supernatural stuff. After acquiring Shitboy, the bus driver would be a strong enemy surrounded by a few regular zombies. The radio embedded in his stomach would heal the zombies.
Then there’s the Terror-Dactyl, a mini boss fought after acquiring Carol. I don’t remember what it did besides be boring.
That’s all for today, I still have more.
