Status Updates
-
Basic battle loop is now working. Enemies can be selected for attack, a placeholder cutscene shows, and then damage is applied. Enemies with 0 health are destroyed. Next up is adding XP and a nicer cutscene. -
Barrels (and other containers) are now working, and they can contain either items or gold. Items automatically go to the next free character slot, or are left in the container if all hands are full. -
Added roaming NPC's to towns. They behave pretty closely to the ones in Shining Force II and have full collision detection. -
Battle loop is finally up and running! Still need to add some actual gameplay, but the foundations are there and working. -
Spent far too long working on the UI system, but it's finally coming together. Can define layouts via a file and dynamically bind them to game data.
