Hello there and welcome to October's post ^^
This month, I got to work on the "Spiderling" enemy for Deathblight Jormungandr.
We decided to go with a spider-demon mix of a creature for the game, instead of a pure spider.
Same as the Draugr, the Spiderling is NOT ingame yet.
Both enemies will be released as part of the 3rd and final area in a couple months in the 0.9 update.
You can get the previous 0.61 version of the game here:

Now... what is the Spiderling about?
I'm currently in the process of tweaking the combat mechanics for it still.
The idea is that it's a "horde enemy", so I will probably not give it too mean mechanics as the gimmick will already be centered around it being a horde.
Different from the goblins, there will be fights where these enemies can 'replenish' their numbers unless you destroy the nest.
At least that is the theory behind that, as I said, I'm still tweaking the combat mechanics a bit and haven't found something that feels right at the time of writing this.
For the combat CG and game over CG:
I finished writing for both, the combat CG is basically two Spiderlings spitroasting Loki.
While the game over CG is about egg-laying which I feel is fitting for the spider-like creatures.
(see screenshot above)
For the upcoming month, I plan to polish up the Draugr and Spiderling gameplay and start work on the maps for the 3rd area.
The idea for the 3rd area is an abandoned, cursed village.
As you may have guessed, the Draugr are the former inhabbitants while the Spiderlings moved into the ruins and tunnels after the village was abandoned.
More on that in next month's post ^^
