For enemies they'll be customizable, they'll be controlled through their own
script file (ie slime.lua to control a slime's behavior).

I'm working on the basics of that system right now.

For the artistic stuff not sure, maybe Chris would want to do that part, or
if not eric can, or maybe wurmz would wanna.  I'll let them speak up about
it though hehe (:
