I gues I'll keep you guys up to date this time then. I'm sorry for taking so long to update, but I'm experiencing a lot of PC-problems at the moment, and I'm also having my exams.
The newest build pretty much contains the finished combat engine (attacking, changing equipment, getting hit, ... all taking in count enemy and character stats (str, def, ...)), aswell as a pretty much finished HUD containing a HP, TP and Faith meter, as well as a counter that keeps how much more EXP is required for the next level as a gold counter. Don't worry, the coins the dummy enemy leaves in the small movie are just quick thingies I created to test the engine, the real graphics are way better, but I didn't have em yet at the time. Also, the preparations for the introduction have been made, it just needs to be filled in with the actual text for it to be complete (second screen). Again, the second screen isn't as nice as the real thing as the leaves are supposed to be animated, now they looks like ugly, rotated sprites.
I also couldn't get the framerate of the animated gif right, so know it's actually 60fps. The colors aren't right either, due to gif compression.
