Been a while since my last update. Do not worry, have been working on Wraith X. I have been working on the different versions of the standard knife grunt. As well as other stuff. I have a knife grunt version that throws knives at the player. Which can be blocked or just duck under it. I also have a version that will be ducking behind an object. When the player gets close enough, stand up throw it's knives at the player. Then duck back down.
Next, I finally added a death animation for the enemies. They will explode into a red sphere shape. And will randomly drop a coin for extra points. Which leads to the next thing. I added items to the game. Basically two health items one will restore some of you health and the other will restore all of it. The coin for extra points. The enemy might drop one which I talked about already. Attack boost item give back any used up attack boost. Finally the classic 1up item. Along with an item box the player can slash open that will contain one of the items.
Right now I am working on spawning enemies out side screen that will charge at the player. I got a good amount of stuff done. Unfortunatley, no screen shots this time. That is where I am at right now.
