Zak LeRoi, PC RPG

A friend from school and I are working on a role-playing game. Both of us are pretty heavily interestedin going into the game programming industry as careers, so basically in an effort to get as much of a head start as possible in the indie game industry, we're making games!
Anyways. This is our first project, an unnamed RPG for PC. I'm doing all the programming, in C/C++ and SDL, and my friend's doing level design, art and music. We just barely started doing actual work, and as such don't have a playable demo right now. For the most part, we're planning everything out, in-depth storyline, etc.
The way I'm doing the programming is slightly backwards - I'm getting the menu screen, notepad, inventory, map, and save screen out of the way before I get to work on the meat and potatoes, the tiling engine, etc.
So using Visual C++, the GIMP and my mad skillz (not) I wrote the in-game menu, like when you press escape, the game grays out and this pop-up appears:
http://www.filedropper.com/awesomeingamemenu
Haha this is about all I have to show so far. Well, I take it back - I've actually completed the notes-taking page too, so as soon as I write the Inventory and the View Map deal I can get to work on the actual game.
As I mentioned above, so far we don't actually have a name for the game yet, but we came up with a name for the main character, Zak Leroi. Also, we're trying to come up with a name for our company, so if you have any ideas, let me know

hm, unintentional but possibly subliminal
Nah, I've never heard of him. It's just a name we came up with, semi-based on one of our friends middle names, LeRoi.

That menu reminds me of Minecraft for some reason, lol.

IMPORTANT NEWS!
:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...
Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.
In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

Glad to see you into computer programming. I can't wait to see more work done on this and see how the game looks like in battles and the overworld map.

You know, that menu screenshot looks like something that would fit on a smartphone. Any plans?
In any case, this sounds like a cool project. Any idea what the game is about yet?

By the way the image link above no longer works. You should probably use a different image uploader like Imageshack or Removedfrom(losingthe)game.com for future uploads, to ensure they remain up.

I like the fonts. What would be cool though is if you managed to make the papyrus look older.
