Progress screens to come when appropriately available.

[Progress]

3/16/09
-Aerial Attack, functional!
-Getting hurt provides appropriate temporary immunity.
-Enemies explode with a satisfying "Bhwoom!" sound.
-Town NPC's will face whatever appropriate direction to face you.
-Preliminary set-up for the first actual Dungeon.

3/17/09
-Enemy HP implemented!
-Lance is now less spammable and more styl'n.
-Dwarf Fortress Layout of Floor 1, completed! (1/5)

3/18/09
-First complex enemy, the Gobber, created! (1/3)
-Dwarf Fortress Layout of Floor 2, completed! (2/5)
-Decided against having the hero knockbacked after hitting an enemy.
-Second complex enemy, the Slinger, created! (2/3)
-Dungeon Layout, completed! (5/5)

3/19/09
-Slice workings, adequate. Mini-boss Implementation: Completely done! (2/2)

3/20/09
-Found out about sprite functions. Wonderful.
-Discovered a wall-jump glitch. This is awesome and I'm going to incorporate it into the game.
-Discovered infinite-jump bug. Fixed it, which fixed the wall-jump glitch as well :(

3/21/09
-All of the fortress' maps are chained together.
-Third complex enemy, the Stone Bug, created! (3/3)
-Dungeon's final boss, completed! (1/1)
-Dungeon-ending-cutscene, complete (2/2)
-Edited the mini-boss around the game-crashing bug. He's all good now.

[Currently Working On]

- Fill up the Dwarven village with residents and textboxes.
- Have one of the Dwarves teach Buelle a special technique.
- Design the special technique.

- Experience and Leveling (0/x)

[Tweaks/Fixes]

3/21/09
-Leaving the first town uses a collision-check instead of forcing the player to consider the exit as a manual door.
-Hitting [esc] pauses the game and gives you the option of quitting or not.
-You can stand on the roofs of the first town's houses now.
-The Tunnelous is cut out, for now. It seems pretty out of place at the moment.
-Map captions stay on the screen for a little longer.
-Buelle can attack in his 9 ticks of invincibility (This may need to be increased later).

3/22/09
-Fixed game-freezing bug that occurs when you are killed by the red-guy's slimes.
-Made Buelle's hit-box smaller.
-Modified all enemy hit-boxes.

That Goblin there? Yeah, he's flinging those rocks at you.

And when you try to chase him, he runs away. What a wuss!

Are you going to take this kind of abuse from a wuss? Of course not.

Oy oy oy! Check out this guy's axe: It's not just for show!

These two can be pretty easy to face on their own.
But if they were to group up...oh bother!

NPC extra data is great!

All right!
I've got a complete dungeon and a couple of other maps.

There's still quite a bit of polishing to do, but I believe the game-play is solid.
It'd be great if someone(s) could volunteer to play-test the game to confirm this and to make suggestions on how to improve the game.

[Edit] Playtesting positions filled, thanks guys.

Oh! When I first saw that post, I thought you meant that the rock slinger ran and jumped away until you approached him, where upon he pulled out an axe for close combat. I'm so disappointed to realise that you didn't just implement the best AI in any OHR game :(
