After a very unproductive Saturday, I started to make an enemy system and a way to continuously spawn them. Currently it is only aliens, but I will add more enemies for the other themes over the course of the day. I’m imagining a mixture of all the themes for your enemies, and different heroes are better against different enemies, whether or not they are from the same genre. For instance a sword attack is good against these aliens. Thinking kind of like Pokemon types to force you to use all of the characters.

My idea is a game that lets you switch genre at will. This means that you switch out all of the visuals and character abilities and enemies for an equivalent from a different genre whenever you want, and perhaps chain combos through the transformation. Currently I’m going with three themes, Medieval, Sci-fi, and Wild West so I made three playable characters to go with them. I’m a programmer, but my concept seems like it will demand some art, so I’m starting with that!

My Characters. (How does one make a picture show up in the post? I’m new to these posts.)
