A new goblin joins the fight

Project Goblin
A downloadable game

Hey! Small update, but I just added a new enemy to the game, a goblin with a magic staff!

You can check out some combat footage right here:

Some details about the goblin mage:

He is the first enemy that has a "defensive" AI, meaning that instead of chasing the player and getting into attack range, they prioritize ranged attacks and will flee if the player starts getting closer.

He has multiple attacks, a staff strike which he only does when the player is really close, and the magic bolt you see in the video. He will also blow himself up while he's dying, so players need to keep an eye out for that.

Also, goblins aren't very good at magic, so there's a chance he'll miss the spell casting and instead of a magic bolt he'll just shoot some smoke, which really makes him mad.

That's all!

Hope you like the new enemy. See you again soon!
