Spider Enemies

As part of my final group project at university in 2022, we had one academic year to create a video game from the ground upwards. Our group chose to create a Fantasy-themed Twin-Stick Shoot ‘em up in the artist style of the Paper Mario Franchise.

My job in the project was to create the characters, power-ups, coins, and all UI that featured within the game.

These are the Spider enemies that the player must face throughout the game. The sprite size of the spider is small. They have a fast movement speed and only 20HP. The AI system would make the spiders move in large groups which can overwhelm the player.

There are 4 variations of spiders.
1) Blood Fang Widow – This spider runs up to the player and bites them dealing them 10 damage.
2) Fire Fang Widow – This spider spits fire at the player as a long-distance attack. It deals 30 damage that deals further damage over time by burning them.
3) Frost Fang Widow – This spider shoots webs made of pure ice which freezes the player in place for 10 seconds and deals 20 damage.
4) Venom Fang Widow – This spider spits venom at the player in a long-distance attack. It deals 30 damage that deals further damage over time by poisoning them.
