Deadly Tendrils
Summary: In which I fall sick; a work-in-progress foe is completed in prototype; two new enemies are prototyped; and enemy-prototyping may be near-done!
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot shows another new enemy prototype:
The week just past was a bit of a short one for me, I fear, as I was hit by two separate ailments (if, I think, both minor), and some concomitant loss of sleep.
As a result, work was a bit slow near the middle of the week, I feel, and I took Thursday and Friday as sick days.

Still, somewhat did get done:

The Curving of a Projectile
Summary: In which sprites are worked on; boss-prototyping continues; one particular element of said prototyping proves quite tricky; and some bugs are fixed.
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot shows once again an excerpt from a boss-fight, with prototype assets, of course:
The week just past was perhaps a bit of a slow one, I fear, I daresay at least in part due to a matter in my personal life that has taken up some time and energy.
Still, some things did get done!
