Glad to see this project is alive again (or will be alive again  )
for those of you unfamiliar, runescapes development system builds your character around how you play, but with a grind factor. I believe "a grind factor" is a bit of an understatement 
more like a divine rule yeah :p

thinking about it, healing will have to be actual amount of points recovered, not overhealing, otherwise you could spam your big heals on a weak guy to get quick levels.
each character will have a separate inventory of 11 spaces, and there are already a wide selection of items available. item types are
one time use
reusable
"burnout" % items, (use, and has a % chance of vanishing from the inventory)
junk items (does nothing, sell for cash)
special items (use unknown.)
key items
playing around with ideas for other stuff in my head.

so like, making progress, reworking the inventory system, that should be up and running soon again, and been working out the stat growth formula. things will grow kind of like in runescape (but moar fun imo). for those of you unfamiliar, runescapes development system builds your character around how you play, but with a grind factor. what im going for is sort of like this example:
Hitpoints
take 21 damage, and you have 30 max health.
max HP = max hp + 21/5MaxHP
so in this case, you gain a percentage towards your new maximum. to prevent "growth cheating" (ie, have a character with like, 10 health get hit for 9000 or so) is to make hitpoints value require that you SURVIVE the attack to get the experience growth.
doing damage (phys or spell) will increase strength or intelligence.
taking damage increases hitpoints, as well as defense and resillience (spell defense) based on a formula.
using special attacks increases maximum tech points, and using special "skills" (lol not spells) increases maximum "skill" points.
===
this will mean that the characters will form more so around what you play them like, which is awesome because players will eventually develop a dedicated healer.
as for the party system, you have all five characters in your team (if you get them all assembled together of course) and only three are allowed on the front line. you can switch them around mid fight, and healers can heal and buff those on the back line (not on screen) if desired. some special enemy attacks can hit the back row. if the front row is destroyed than the back row will switch to the front. (kind of like pokemanz though, you dont have to bring out all of them, you can choose to throw them out one at a time for meatshield action.)
its... complicated. oh and yeah, poison and renew will still be in play even when the unit is on the back field, so you can pull in someone, dispell the negatives off, throw renew on them and send them to the back for street fighter healing action.
the idea is, youll have to use all five guys (everyones got different skills) and youll have to be sneaky about it sometimes for particular scenarios.
its... gonna be way the hell better in planning this time around. glad I kept my notes, i see what caused it to wtfdie the first time, how i create files and create moar files on the same space and like, clusterfuck the xlib so hard that it wanted to freak out on me?
by the way, iambian, celtic III is freaking awesome. i reccomend it to ANYONE who is good with basic, this app. is a little tough to pick up (print off a copy of the documentation, trust me its worth it) but great when you start getting results.

celtic III is awesome. very neat little thing, and i printed out the documentation for myself. i kept my notes on the first run of PQ-FOM and found that i was abusing xLIB which lead to it crashing. my fault, stupid errors. gonna pick it up and try it again, with some changes [in gameplay too.]
attached - screen grab of the new potter sprite set, unfinished.
yarg, stupid printer printed TWO copies of the Celtic III readme file, so now i have an extra one on print for my own use (ill keep it here at the house, the other goes with me.)
gawed, gotta work work work work work
Oh hai2u anyone who has any ideas for the project feel free to throw them here, if I use the idea you'll get cookies and a credits thingy thing. anyway btw im growing plants IRL and theyre freaking huge! miracle grow is like plant sterorids holy shiester.
[guide to sprite chart]
[stand] [ready (attack, item, tech)] [ready (skill)] [dancetime]
[wounded (health at or below 30%)] [overhead swing] [ka me ha me ha like pose] [nothing yet]
[wtf gg dood (dead)] [Forward thrust] [(unfinished) taking damage] [nothing yet]
like what you see there? feel free to use/edit it a bit to use it. be sure to give credit though, fgt.

I want it to be the same, but I cant help thinking I'd like it to be different, somehow.

Yeah, I'm definetly gonna have to start work on it again. Played a game for inspiration, the Verdante Forest, and ... well, ... /no.
MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS
"WTF???"
-research-
"Oh... raise spirit. Okay."
ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR ARMOR
"*SIGH*"
that... that no. I *DID* play up to the final boss, but got fucking fed up with it because its bullshit. "Hay, i kan whun shot neof ur karaktirz b/c dats da proe thing 2du"
*EDIT ON THIS*: Not only is it one shotting my high level characters, but my high level characters are one shotting everything else and getting only like 150XP average a fight, out of freaking 15k needed. not finishing it, fuck that, this isn't world of grindcraft.
you shouldnt be REQUIRED to grind levells just to beat the game. that's horrible game play. Verdante forest isnt *that* bad though, at least the story was decent, but there was a lot left to be desired. the fights could use a bit more spice, and the whole "run around a gigantic maze to accomplish things" at least had somewhat different environments. (the forest, caves, snowy areas, and castle feels)
read up on the readme's in the zipfile of the game, and its pretty bad when the author itself doesnt feel like he's done a good job. reading that, I thought to myself, "Why even release it then?"
gonna start, finish it again, this time using celticIII, and this time I'm going to remember to freaking back up my data onto the computer every single chance I get.
