You can move all about the map, enter Towns, the Castle, and Caves(which are all lit at this time) to enter caves or use stairs press SpaceBar, select STAIRS then press SpaceBar again. Enter will cancel the Command window. There is an option to see the controls, but they are not customize-able while running yet. Just hit ESC to quit(after startup menu). The message handler is a bit buggy right now, But for the most part it works to this point, and you can enjoy the 8 bit style background music and sound effects(bump into a wall ,stairs)!
Tested on 1.3 build from 4/2019, working.

Great job, Cobalt! Very interesting engine!

Our user roadbloc (or maybe user pforpond, are you that?) is gonna have a blast, as she has done something very similar with her Mystery of Robot Planet.

Kudos! When's the making of video coming out?

I would hate to even imagine just how that would go!

I guess I could go over why I use the Layer() system I do, or how I get away with never needing an EXIT or GOTO statement to get things done in a program like this.

Beyond that I wouldn't even know where to start. :(

Hi Cobalt
It is cool!
Lovely music, graphic and movement of sprites...

about to make video here some tips and software

Updated, fixed Message Handler for command window, added the STATUS functionality for command window.

Added Loin Cloth sprite. Technically you start the game naked!, as you have to buy Cloths!

Always got a laugh out of that growing up. there was already sprites for when you don't have a weapon or shield.

It looks a little goofy but I was actually going for that, try to inspire the player to buy armor! but I guess you could play for a while with out armor, though even at the highest strength level a player wouldn't be able to beat mid-level creatures without armor. and the higher the XP level the more AGE starts to act against attack and defense.

Don't forget you'll need to update your MFI file as it has been rebuilt to accommodate new Sound Effects.

Cobalt · « **Reply #7 on:** October 23, 2019, 01:15:21 pm »

There are now some NPCs to watch walk around, the Background music changes from castle, towns, and overworld. no music for caves\temples and such yet.

Starting castle is the only location with NPCs at the moment, and they are still mute. added a little frame rate clock, to see how far below 60 it will drop, should never go below 60 for smooth play.

MFI file has been updated again.

Cobalt · « **Reply #8 on:** October 27, 2019, 02:31:54 pm »

All towns(that should) have NPCs now!, the NPCs in the Castle now have basic talking ability! Everybody else should just be 'speechless'

Don't Forget to (re)download the MFI file.

The King has the most lines of anyone, but the Monologue system is proving arduous, at best, to figure out. Many NPCs(Non-Playable Characters, Steve was close) have multiple lines, and there should be a pause requiring a button(key in this case) press to move on, and others have a Yes\No option as well. The Completion of this program will hang on this unfortunately. Until then every NPC only speaks the first line of their script. and you can't speak to any shop keeps due to the tile in front of them, yet another hurtle to figure out. All the NPCs that say they are speechless don't have a DATA line yet, and just say that as default.

Space is the "action" button(key), or button A if we were using an old NES controller, while "enter" is the cancel or the B button. I know its a little counter-intuitive and I honestly can't remember why I came to that setup. Eventually the Controls will be customize-able though. so Space to bring up the command window, Space to choose an option. I'm afraid it is a short coming on my part to assume the player has some knowledge of the NES version of the game before hand, and knows which button (A or B) to use.

something that intrigues me about your screen shot is the 61FPS, as with the _LIMIT 60 that should not be able to happen, I thought. and that could actually cause some glitches with the movement and drawing of the screen. Which is why I'm taking the speed of this program more serious than others I have done. there are slight dips when changing maps which should be okay at that point once I finish that aspect, as the maps should fade out and in.

bplus · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2019, 12:08:16 pm »

Thanks, OK.

I must compliment the smooth walk-around aspect of players movements, it seems even better than my little experiment demo in effort to help.

SierraKen · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2019, 02:03:39 pm »

Cobalt this is really incredible. It reminds me of my days playing Legend of Zelda and other games. You are coming along on it great! I can't wait to see the final version to fight enemies and get weapons and gold. I walked around in almost the whole forest and went to that other town. I never knew such a cool game like this could be made with a BASIC language!
