(RedDekar was designed by SinReVi)

Since we actually have a great artist now, I thought I'd take the time to give my current battle system a makeover. It's currently in progress and needs your feedback for improvement.

Well it's looking good for now. Not sure if you're planning on implementing a magic system or not. (Since I don't see any MP value, it could be because Dekar is a physical-only character Razz

)

I haven't got around to displaying all the new battle graphics with directdraw yet, that is why you don't see as many features as before.

The sizes in graphics required a lot of reprogramming.

Did you like the status window from the first or second screenshot better?

The status window, I'd say make it semi-transparent or have the color and transparency level be customizable. Everyone likes customization.

As for the battle animations, I think you're making excellent progress. My advice would be to find a way to eccentuate the lower sprites. What I mean is, make them easier to see. You could do that with a thicker black outline, or shadows. I just think it needs to be a little easier on the eye.

Semi transparent would be a good option indeed.

I have a question out of pure curiousity. Will the battle animation include the characters & monsters actually making contact with the enemies like in Lufia 4, or will it be the characters just hitting the air while the enemies take damage? I hope it's the Lufia 4 thing, since the original official Lufia battle system didn't make any sense with the monsters taking damage without being hit.

To the best of my knowledge, we were making it simliar to the older Lufia games.

The game will never come out, ever.
