Well, fixed a LOT of bugs I had.
Mostly just conflicting variables... and a few memory optimizations.
Cut the main program down to 907 bytes now.
I'm pretty sure Nyaar, as a whole, can run off of about 5500 bytes or less now.
I've been wrong though...
I think it's about (estimated) 900x2 + 2300 + 767 + about 500 for miscellaneous variables/lists
That's anytime while in battle. (which I'm pretty sure is when the most space is taken up)
...
I'd make sure you have at least 10k available before installing... O.o
Your mileage may vary.

In any case... still a few more things to do before it's ready for another beta release.
Just thought I'd let you know there's progress.

Hopefully... >.<
The more I've been thinking about the direction of this game...
The more I have NO idea where I'm going with this.

It started out as a battle system with a lot of character customization...
Now it's that plus graphics and a few maps. (several surprisingly empty... due to lack of imagination and rush [rushing myself that is])

I'll even be completely redesigning the battle and customization system due to some new ideas and the monotony of the current system.
Which is rapidly press enter until the damn thing is dead.
So, I'm thinking of what to do there now. Gotta get spells and abilities ready for sure. (Mages are currently weak Knights)
Plus... gotta code the signs in. (signs tell you a bit about the map you're in)
From there... once I get ALL of that set up... gotta get quests set up. Not to mention the caves and forest area done.

All of that is to have stuff to do from levels 1-5.
Well, okay... most of it stays useful throughout the whole game.
From there... just need more maps and quests to support levels higher than about 6.

Okay, so that was a long ramble... but hopefully you, being whomever the reader is, understand where I'm going here.
A lot is to be done... so maybe not THIS week. My apologies. >_<

I sometimes feel like it's the former.
I guess I just feel like there's a LOT better things to do than play my calculator game. >_<

Maybe it's the lack of support at school... eh.
Thanks for letting me know though.
Makes me feel better. =D

Okay, I'm working on the new system.
New/different stats, abilities, formulas, spells, classes, etc.
Most likely taking out races in favor of classes or just to simplify things.

In any case, this will be a new game when I'm through with it.
It was too generic anyway... now that I've gotten just about the entire core engine done and have tested out a lot... I feel like I can more easily make the changes I've proposed above.
So, time to make this game unique.

Wish me luck. ^_~

Well, I've had a bit of progress...
I've temporarily stopped working on the new system for abilities/classes/stats/etc. and started in on the new items and inventory system.
Everything is fine so far... just need to try and make it a little prettier (still not sure how to go about this... the minimum is taking up a good deal of space) and finish adding in a couple of more unique features.

Afterwords... I'll be back to working on the core system mentioned earlier.
I'll also be changing the menu system fairly dramatically to make room for the content the new system will require.

I don't like the recorder built into WabbitEmu but...


Inventory system currently.
You can move around with the arrows, press [MODE] to view item description, currently 35 slots (no stacks), and auto-sorts the items.
It's not plugged into the game... but it's ready to be.

Currently only 5 items (all shown). Portal and the 4 healers (called Neurolinks, distinguished by a symbol as a suffix and addition to the icon).
I have the weapons drawn out and am working on more items soon.

ooh nice, reminds me desolate a bit. Keep up the good work

I really like your system, just keep up the great work!
