Thanks everyone! :)

Currently I am recoding the entire movement engine (again) to allow for native 8-directional movement :D. This actually makes the movement engine more streamlined; the entire movement/kickback engine is under 30 lines long! I may actually be able to recycle this for the enemy collision engine as well, once I get the few bugs remaining ironed out.

Also I started working on the item system. I decided that items will not be a major part of this game. There will be 15 items overall, 5 each of Quest, Equipable, and Consumable types. Instead of a fancy function-based item system like Ash's, I think I'm simply going to hardcode the few functions that each item has :P

8-directional movement works! :D Movement engine has been recoded for the 3rd and (hopefully) final time!

In the meantime I started working on the item menu layout (visible in the last part of the screenshot). Do people like it the way it is, with a text menu and a sprite info-box? Once I finished I started thinking, Hm, maybe I'd rather have a graphical menu (Zelda style) with a bar telling you what the item is instead of the other way around...

Very nice

But maybe it would indeed be cooler with items shown and text info
But i think you're game is great and if the AI works out well that you have a big chance of winning...

As far as the item menu goes I think either is fine. Your current setup looks good to me, and it's really a matter of preference. If you have time later and decide you want to change it then do so. If it works and is function for now leave it as it is. Focus on getting a complete working product first. :)

yeah if it works, get other things done first, and then if you still have time and want to change it, do it then :)
Current setup looks pretty good, so it's not a big deal imo

Haha I already changed it. It's actually smaller now and more compact (both in code and display) than before. I'm on the wrong computer atm, but I hope to get a screenshot soon :)

In other progress-related news, I've almost got the NPC engine up. I'm having a bit of trouble with my script-generator (a separate program I use to spit out the NPC data helper array) but once that's working it should be relatively functional.

i like the item thingy a lot. it's just wonderful how you use those icons :) and the textboxes too, and the sprites, and the smoothyness (is that a word?)..
