Description My friends are making a game, and looking at the two draw up various monsters got me kind of jealous - I wanted to do it, too!

So here's my take on the tried and true idea of Jekyll & Hyde - normal people by day/cursed monsters by night. My thought here was that initially you come to this village on a sunny summer morning, and there's only very slight hints that something may be off about the place. Afterwards, gameplay takes you back to it - only this time, during the night. And that's when you see all hell/Halloweentown break loose.

Initially, I wanted the cursed forms to just be dominated by a single colour, but in the case of the old hag I think I went a bit too far! Haha, maybe she's just an extra tough opponent?

Anyway, my friend suggested that you have to fight these guys down to a certain percentage, and then use some artifact to release them from their curse - I like that solution, I don't really want to outright kill these guys, they're too nice in their normal villager form. ...well, again, except for maybe the hag. :b

Here's a tumblr link if anybody wants to reblog. :b

These are all really cool--especially the old hag, although the little two headed dog is my favorit.

These are just fantastic! Ahhh, I love the old woman, the hoof, the eyebrows, the amazing hair, EVERYTHING. Gosh these are just some incredible designs! And I love how you maintained elements or their normal selves.

This is so creative!! I like the old hag, but her design is a bit more extravagant than the others, so making her be the source of the curse (or like you said, just an extra strong opponent) would make more sense to me

Thanks!


It's very helpful to know these little details. You're totally right that a monster that looks extra special probably should be slightly more powerful. :]

I think it's mostly happening inside of a dungeon. This was just a brain fart of mine. :]
