Hello! Meself reporting.
I'm still alive. Best regards for this new year, and I hope you all passed a good time on all these holidays.

Anyway, development is slow right now. I'm not even counting the fact that there was no demo for this game the past year, but things got complicated. Sometimes they do.

Right now I'm doing a little work with the battle system, just mashing up an active battle functionality. It will work like in the SNES Final Fantasy, Active/Wait modes and a slide that changes the battle speed. I really love that kind of stuff, and it's time for me to make it! Most of it is done and working, just need to fix some issues here and there.

On the other part, I'm mapping, finishing Fierro and Havoc, the Phamas forest, and will start one of these days making Haleko. Finishing all that zones, it will be a matter of time, just making a basic Aleko, and all zones needed for a demo will be ready!

I better don't put any dates. It will be ready. This year. If not, I'll commit suicide. Not really, I'll just cry. x'D.

Anyway, let's see, how about... putting one screenshot for the bank?

This bank works pretty much the same way as EarthBound's bank. Mostly a concept issue. Monsters don't give you money, the money is being given to you by the Academy for killing monsters. Because killing monsters is good.
Your character is always carrying a medal which reports all you do. Same way, this medal teleports you to safety if something goes wrong (a.k.a. game-over), so it's not bad either. I think. It's top-notch technology!

ANY-WAY. I'm just caring for the feel. That's what EB (not Enterbrain, Earthbound) teached me about (?).

And that's it for now. There's a lot of other stuff I've done, but most are either bug fixes, performance stuff, GUI changes... Oh well, here it goes, from my todo list:
- Exploration: Auto-recovery by time instead of steps. --DONE!
- Party Menu: Menu keytips (?). --DONE!
- Enciclopaedia: Remark selected item. --DONE!
- Enciclopaedia: Make "Back" command work properly! --DONE!
- Battle: Fix music volume after Pause. --DONE!
- Battle: Balance music volume reduce at battle end. --DONE!

See you soon people!
