While I did not get the shorter game finished this past week I did make a lot of progress on it. I kept adding new features to the game which kept making the game bigger and more complex. I have finished the main menu, game setup, game movement and half of the combat system (yes, combat will be a big part of the game). I still have to finish the other half of combat, the trap system (yes, traps will also have a big part in the game), the social aspects of the game, the system to load and save games as well as any smaller details I have forgotten. Despite the games complexities (and this game did turn out to be more complex then I originally thought) the game is coming together much faster then any of my previous games. Due to the random elements I added to the game it has tremendous replay value so it will be a game that can be played many times over a long period of time.

At the bottom of the page you will find a screen shot of the main menu for the game. Note that I may change this before the final game is released. Also note that this image is not to scale. If you want to see a copy of the image at full scale click HERE or on the image itself.

Till next week,

Jason
