Talk:Enemies

Is there a generally agreed upon name for the burrowing worm enemy in Plains 2? Have simply named it "Worm" for now, but wondering if it needs to be distinguished more from the Worm boss/Worms upgrade. Blemmigan (talk) 19:59, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

After asking in the Discord server I have found that apparently Danny Wynne (the programmer for Atomicrops) has stated that the official name for those enemies is "Sidewinder" in the 1.3.0Beta12 Patch Notes. So we'll likely want to refer to them as such from here on out.

On Enemy Images
So the standard practice for placing enemy images is to just use a single, non-animated sprite to represent them. Most wikis do this. However, I've noticed that some, the Nuclear Throne Wiki in particular, use animated gifs instead. So I was wondering if we would like for this wiki to do the same? We already do this for the crops and farm animals, so it might just be a natural extension to do it for enemies as well. Of course, I understand that is a major task to complete and will take far longer to do than simply putting pngs instead, and as such may not be worth the time. Because of that, I'm not necessarily proposing this as an immediate change, but perhaps something we should try to aim for in the future.

Sounds like an idea to me- I had a go at assembling some, so I can upload some as I go (probably the simpler ones!) to add to what's already there. And then swap out the pngs some time in the future, if/when we have enough for a complete section. With a game like this it's nice to see the idle animations at least. Plus I think gifs look better on wikia- it seems to compress the pngs like jpegs. Blemmigan (talk) 18:21, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
