Alright. Since last we met, er.., since my last post, I've made some ground on the battle engine. ;)
Here's a screenie for ya.

Also, I feel I'm finally getting close to a beta release. All that stands in my way is finishing the battle engine(Enemy sprites, Handling 2 enemy parties, Star Animation, Steal Tech, making the Jerky actually do something, gaining XP and leveling up, gaining Ael (the currency of Alteria)), and implementing a few events(first boss battle in the catacombs and 1st major cutscene(introduction of Arc and dimensional travel)). Fingers crossed it'll be out by around Christmas at the latest.

EDIT: Oh, and the current Game Over screen. I wanted to do something other than just GAME OVER, and I like that it came out dark.

Looks pretty cool except the big diarrhea at the left :P (J/K, it's epic)
I actually missed this a bit, but you are also adding a ASCII area, right?

Yes. The Nostalgia dimension is ASCII. Back a page is a screenie showing off the mapper.

looks pretty. I agree that the sprite is pretty hard to see, maybe mask a white outline around it? (when possible)

Which sprite? The player's sprite (the Omega) completely erases a 6x8 rectangle around itself. Unless you mean in the Shadowed Dimension (the 8x8 tiles)? Those cobble and carpet sprites are placeholders, and I'll be making ones that work better with the character.

I happened to come across <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia_%28video_game%29>this</a> game at my local Gamestop store. I haven't played it nor have I heard of it before. I did find it rather interesting though, to say the least. :)

I did know about that game. It's a very good DS game, and quite the interesting coincidence.

Very nice! I'm willing to be a beta tester, if you're looking.
Thanks for the offer, but the beta may still be a ways off. I need to implement a better linked list sort for determining turn order, on top of other things.

Btw any updates on this? I noticed lately you seemed to be mostly into Minecraft. Have you moved on completely from calc stuff or are you just taking a break? THose screenshots above looks nice by the way.

I have been on a bit of a break lately, but over the past few days, I've delved back into developing Nostalgia, and I'm currently working on the in game menu, because that will help me make sure that I have the stat appvar set up properly. I've also *almost* implemented saving, I just forgot to have it save the time of day :P.

Ah ok I see, glad to hear it's not dead. I was worried since lately all of your forum posts were only in the Minecraft thread. :P

Also why is this project under Major community projects instead of Staff  (CoT) projects? ???

Here's an update so people know I'm still working on this. :)

The past few days, I've been perfecting a dynamic menu routine that I'm going to utilize for the battle engine and likely the ingame menu as well. I'm also going to be looking at the linked list sorting routine Runer posted a while ago, to see if I can utilize that to make my battle engine smaller. I've also got to hash out some basic item code (at the very least I need to implement Jerky for the first alpha) and animations for various things, among other things.

In short, I still have quite a bit to do, but I'm making progress. I hope to have a screenie of the menu routine in action in a few days.

I'm glad this is still alive. I was a bit worried due to the dwindling updates despite poking around to see if there are any. D: I hope you can eventually finish this :)

EDIT Btw for one of the magic animation you definitively need to use one of Darl's old avatar. :P

I'm a few days later than I anticipated, but here's that screenshot of the menu routine in action. I'm still working on this, but I am prepping for two AP exams coming up in May, so that may decrease my coding time in Calculus.
