| Summary | 0012696: Dumbot's vs Invigorated dumbots | ||||
| Description | Why are invigorated dumbots the only bot with two names? This breaks your naming convention and I was somewhat confused what the difference was when I saw it the first time. | ||||

Maybe it's a homage to the longstanding RPG tradition of coming up with stronger enemies by renaming weaker enemies, changing their stats, and recoloring or otherwise minorly tweaking their sprites. Even other genres have done this for a long time -- think about the original Mario Bros. for example -- 1UP mushrooms are simply recolored regular mushrooms, and red vs. green koopa troopas. It's a great win for the game creator because they don't have to create as many enemy concepts or art assets. |

Yep. These are literally recolored dumbots with slightly different functionality. We didn't do that with any other bots, but we might at some time. |

|
I'm totally cool with adding adjectives to bots. It's just a bit odd to see it only done once :) |
|
|
I'm sure we'll do it more with time. :) |
