Well, downloaded it and thought it was good for a months worth of work

The panel stuff is quite impressive really and love the ripples too.

Certainly looking forwards to seeing more

Nice Save load and inventory system, not commenting on graphics and art.

but that i-can-hit-from-15meters-away-with-sword thingy is not ok(maybe for spells but not for melee).

i like that potion particle too.

I like the graphics so far for the menu, it's clean and it gives a nice look
The concept is abit retro until now but this is still a WIP project so I'm curious to see more of this

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments.

I'd like to know what the community would like to see in my RPG? Aside from what I have planned... i'll gladly accept ideas.

I had some time to work on it today, and here's what I got constructed:

The main menu is actually inside a temple... Anyway, working on puttin' that together (No skin on the torches yet):

I also did quite a bit more of coding... I touched on some needed things in the battle system, (such as visible damage... so you can see what your hits actually do) and the player now runs at the enemy, attacks, then returns to his orginal position.

I know most of you think this is going to be another noob project that'll be dropped in a month... But... I've planned this project over 2 years ago... Heh... The main inventory and movement code was actully done 2 years ago in my RPG Prototype demo I released. (don't think anyone remembers that...)

But yea... It's not going to be the next Final Fantasy, i'm just putting together a small RPG game.

Just keep in mind if you are a good coder the artwork is going to be the problem. That is why you don't see and RPG post from me every other week... the art work makes me angry.

It's kinda like a curse. I'm fine with coding... (I might not know the most advance math techniques but I get by...) and even modeling. I can model humans and misc objects... My only issue is the 2D stuff. I'm good at making abstract art, but not too good with textures.

Over the next few weeks i'll be focusing more on the visual part of my game. Especially, the GUI/HUD so you guys can have more to make comments on. It's very hard to comment on coding... Which is why we coders have projects that remain in the shadows.

And here's another update of the menu scene. It's still a bit empty but i'm adding things...

Looking, nice.
Still the lamps are untextured.
Also just wondering , have you actually made any of the game, because the menu won't really be a selling point alone.
