There could be some animation there, but it's ASCII so it's not feasible.

Wow, looks great!
btw, I'm curious, what are you able to do in ASCII mode that you can't in sprite mode?  and vice versa.

Eventually, you'll be able to do anything you can in either dimension. The only difference is the areas. Some might not be passable in one dimension, or might not even exist in the other dimension.

I have been doing some work on the battle engine recently, in addition to the mapper. I'm using the battle engine as a chance to familiarize myself with the new functions and syntax that Axe 1.0.1 has introduced.
Currently, all I've got done are some core routines, so nothing screenshot worthy yet.

Finally got something screenshot worthy! I'm using Aria's sprite as a placeholder while I get the routines into place, so that's why she shows up twice, even though Roland should be there.
Also, this screenshot reveals the beginnings of the 'Fever Pitch' system. As a character's rage builds up over the course of a battle, by taking damage, or through story events, the gauge next to their MP will slowly fill up. When it hits maximum, 'Fever Pitch' becomes available in the menu. Selecting it will, for three turns, unleash the character's latent powers, making them incredibly dangerous to their foes. 'Fever Pitch' only becomes available to each character after they receive a special item through a story event. For Roland, this is his family heirloom, an ancient ruby ring, and for Aria, it's a pendant she received from her father when she was a child.

What do you guys think?

Cool :) however, I think it looks a bit cluttered compared to other 84+ RPGs, due to the large size of the HUDs and players.  If you could trim down the size of some things that would be awesome.

Now that I look at it, the menu is pretty massive. I think the players are a decent size though, and as several people were kind enough to sprite them completely for me, they'll stay that way. I feel everything but the menu is fine, and in fact, I think it's less cluttered than the old GUI in some ways, since the turn waiting bar is much smaller this time around.

I could scroll through the menu, or resort to a more graphical approach... I think I'll play with that idea for a while. Any suggestions on how I might wanna redo the menu?

What if you tried making the menus three levels high, max.  You'd have to add scrolling, but it'd look better in my opinion.

I did something similar for the "Fight" menu in Elmgon.

How will you choose the menu selection? It seems like there's not enough space for the cursor


Spoiler For funny life mathematics:
1. ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy
2. OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime
3. SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.
4. GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
5. HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.
6. LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.
7. PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.
8. DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

Girls = Time * Money (Girls are a combination of time and money)
Time = Money (Time is money)
Girls = Money squared (So, girls are money squared)
Money = sqrt(Evil) (Money is also the root of all evil)
Girls = sqrt(Evil) squared (So, girls are the root of all evil squared)
Girls = Evil (Thus, girls are evil)
*Girls=Evil credit goes to Compynerd255*

So I've been digging through my project folders, to see if I could find anything helpful, and I stumbled across some old source from my battle engine!

Between that and what I have now, I may actually be able to re-implement a bunch of stuff a lot easier.

Aside from that, I haven't made much progress, since I'm moving back to my 84+SE, since I figured out the Axe/zStart issue.

I did however, revamp the skills list, since there really was only one special skill per player, and the rest didn't even appear until you master a spell, which would take a long time.

Quote from: Aria's Skills
Trueblade - Ups critical chance and accuracy for a few turns.
Royal Defense - Halves damage to the party for a turn.
Come Holy Light! - Can't tell you yet. :P

Quote from: Roland's Skills
Steal - Steals an item from the enemy.
Retinal Flash* - Roland performs an attack so speedy, he doesn't even appear to move, thus the enemy does not defend and the damage is doubled.
Celestial Blessing! - Can't tell you yet. :P

Fever Pitch may upgrade or change their primary skill (Trueblade and Steal) for it's duration.

*The idea behind the name Retinal Flash is that the attacker uses magic to temporarily 'flash' a false image (ie: the attacker doing nothing) to the enemy's eyes, while the attacker is actually attacking the enemy.
