Wow looks realy cool

Good luck implementing all the other cool stuff

Darn that looks nice, and I like the battle layout as well. However, I would make the Exp/Gold gained appear in the battle screen, not the overworld.

Also why is the first screenshot blue?

Wow, every time I see this project it looks more and more fantastic! Great work, and now the title actually looks like a phoenix

Just wow.

Thanks guys! I've been hard at work on this project; I'm surprised it's come so far so quickly

Small updates for now, nothing huge yet. I'm mainly thinking more about content and spriting. Optimizations have been made, and work on the NPC engine has started up. I've improved the scripting language a fair bit since it's last incarnation-- choosing it to model its control structure on asm rather than anything else. That's right guys, my npc scripting language's only command is an abstracted jpnz that's been built on memory locations instead of registers, lol. Anyway I've got most of the commands implemented, and a few left planned. For now:

Implemented:
-Print active player name
-Check if event flag n set, then jpnz. (arguments flag #, address to jump to)
-Set flag n (arguments flag #)
-Reset flag n (arguments flag #)
-Check if item held, then jpnz (args item ID, addr to jump)
-New line
-Pause conversation
-Jump to address

Planned
-Shop
-Get Item
-Warp character
-Initiate battle

Now that my IDE is near completion, I picked up my calc today, dusted off the source, made a fresh build, and confirmed that everything is working fine and have begun to re-familiarize myself with the code (thank goodness for all my extensive documentation).

New idea: terrain

Nothing fancy, but I think that having some tiles more easily traversable than others might make things interesting I always thought that the stark walkable/wall duality of most RPGs wasn't quite indicative of real life. I'm thinking 3 levels- fast (road, short grasses, floors) medium (tall grasses) and slow (large bushes).

diamonds are swampy?

Anyway looks nice as always. Glad this is still alive and hopefully the IDE should make things much easier for you

Woo, update!

I implemented the store in addition to a lot of other things in the npc scripts, optimized things back down to app-size, and fixed a crap ton of bugs.
Not much to show but a lot of progress on the internal side I suppose. I have yet to fully implement this terrain thing: I laid down the framework but it's not finished yet...
