Skill List!

To add originality to Nostalgia, instead of saying the name of the skill or spell at the top of the screen like Final Fantasy, the character will say something that appears at the top of the screen.

The list is separated by category it would be under, or character it belongs to, skill name, caption.

Skills:

Roland - Steal - Let me take that!

Aria - Aura - Holy light, heal our wounds!

Star   - Star drive - Stars above, give me the strength to strike like a meteor!
        - Starfall - This is the culmination of our efforts! I won't let it end here!
        - Heavenly Star - Heavenly stars above, you remind us we are never alone. Grant me your power, so that I might be there for those who need me!

Holy   - Holy Judgment - Creator, let me mete out your judgement to those before me!
        - Knight's Honor - On my honor as a knight of Alteria, I will not falter!
        - Excalibur - For Alteriaaaaaaaa!

Arc    - Hofuku - Retribution - For all the sins I've wrought!
        - Meiyo kodo - Honor Code - To regain my honor...
        - Kishi-do - Chivalry - I won't let you harm anyone else!

MASTER - Star - Starlight - Stars above, protect me!
            - Holy - Sacred Light  - Light, protect me!
            - Dark - Dark Shield - Darkness, protect me!

Magick - Star - I shall rain down the heavens upon you!
          - Holy - Holy light, strike down my foes!
          - Dark - Let the black winds howl!

My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.

Cool stuff. It's nice to have little personal touches like this added into games.

Wow I like how the chars will say something when casting the spell. Nice touch! Just make sure we can go through the text faster if we want, though, else for Heavenly Star, it will take quite a while x.x

Progress!

I just finished the dynamic menu routine for the battle system!
I now have to start working on turn order and the like.

Yep. That's gonna be Roland's signature tech. After all, he is a master thief! The reason it shows it for Aria is because I had the menus saved as bitmaps, because this was to test the menu routine.

Edit:
Here's a proof of concept of an infinitely scrolling turn order bar. It's order can be completely dynamic and it's a pretty small chunk of code, too. ;D

Nice, I love how you use custom fonts in the menu and the look in overall. I also like the steal command. Very few calc RPG goes further than fight, magic, tech and items

Yeah, great font and great progress!  Keep it up!  Does your font allow lowercase letters, out of curiosity?

Thanks!
@Hot_Dog: No, it doesn't allow for lowercase letters.

Bump!
I applied the infinitely scrolling proof of concept to the turn gauge, and it works perfectly! I'll be working on tracking stats next, then throwing it together for turn recognition, and then adding in attacks and items, etc.
Barring any unforeseen complications, this is actually a lot easier then I expected! :D


Edit: I think it's about time I made a story related update, yes?

Kurieita - The Creator. It is said Sky is the only human to human to have seen him walk the realm of the living.


Sky - The Original Hero. Because of Sky's actions, the war between the First Dark and the First Light ended and the Star element was created to balance the flow of magic through Alteria.

New screenie says it all.  ;D

Also, I've decided to make the stats like Chrono Trigger. Max HP is 999 instead of 9999 and MP and all other stats max out at 99.
