Game background

The game was designed 6-7ish years ago. Initially, it was intended to just be a game for a TI-83+, but due to limitations of the calculator the development for that platform was scrubbed. Back in 2002, I started putting together the game with OHRRPGCE. Lacking time, the project was postponed for many years and collected quite a bit of dust. Some time has come my way so the goal is to get a fully playable game before the time goes whereever it goes once more.

Some of the graphics were made in 2002, but most will be more recent. This will probably be most notable in the overworld map tiles compared against some of the city/building maptiles. Enemy graphics were also made back in 2002, but the most recent file with that stuff in it wasn't the one I had on a backup disk, so most of the enemy sprites are also recent.

Right now, most of what is left involves linking together the text boxes, tags, and NPCs that build the storyline, building the enemy formations and populating the world with them, and cleaning up the shops and NPCs that litter the maps that were used in some preliminary testing of scripting.

It sounds good. You should post some screenshots.

I uploaded them as the .bmp files from F12ing. Looks like flickr goes ahead and converts those to .jpgs. I'll post some more as gifs as it seems flickr won't molest that format.
