Rumourmill: There's Orcs About!

So, I've been smashing out as much as I can today, buying up some assets to use, and inserting them into the game as I build up the world and progress is good.

I wanted an area of Orcs in another part of West Floren Island, so I got a nice Orc Warrior asset, did all the imports into the engine and dropped it in. Then I bought another asset from the same artist (Elthen's Pixel Art Shop), this time an Orc Shaman - and the spritesheet came with a small animated totem. That got me wondering if I could manage to get my prior summoning code implemented so that the Shaman here, could summon a Totem - and that the totem would then start doing stuff. And I am here celebrating, that indeed, yes.

In the screenshot, which is a bit bland due to not wanting things covered over by large trees, I've picked a fight with some of the new orcs, and after sending a lovely Flame Seeker at Blazer, the Orc Shaman then created a Bone Spirit Totem next to himself - and the grab is literally as it blasts my rogue, Yhatzee, with a Fireball.

So, there's really cool new functionality, and the world is getting filled in nicely. Winning on multiple fronts to round out the end of the year with.
