So one more RPG. Do we have to create a new RPG headquarter? :p

Yeah I mean like in Illusiat 13 battles.
Oh. I see what you mean. I might do that, or I might do something like this:

o     /   m
---   /  ---

Where you are the o and both have platforms below them, but they cut off before the / divides the two sides of the screen. Again, I might remove the divide later.
Yeah that's what I mean. Just without the divide. But it's up to you if you decide to remove the divide or not.

The RPG headquarter refered to OMnimaga file downloads section back when it only accepted RPGs and programming tools. Back then, ticalc.org BASIC games section was just 1 single folder filled with 3000 crappy games, most of which were guessing games or menu-based RPGs. Omni RPG headquarter was intended to make it easier for people to find the best calc RPGs available. It was obsoleted when ticalc started splitting their directories, hence why at one point it was replaced with an user-contributed download section that allows any game genre.

That's interesting! I didn't know about the "Omni RPG headquarters" thing.
And about the divide line, I did remove it. I didn't remove it because you asked, but because I added a few things to the battlescreen, and some of the text would've broken through the line. I think it does look better, now that I removed it.
I did a lot of balancing and added a few features.
[spoiler=Changelog:]
*Added map screen finally
*Added heal spell to battles (takes away Exp)
*Added new enemies that appear as you leave the area around the starting town
*Balanced the game so that fights are not impossible but you can still die at any level, and so that you are able to one-shot enemies at higher levels that you can't at lower levels to add actual progression
*Added ability to customize world size
*Added visual indicator (changing to a big O, again...) that you can heal and that town has healed you (changing to a ^)
*Added random chance that running will fail. Chance gets larger the tougher enemy you're fighting.
*Changed around battle UI

OOh I like the new layout better. Maybe you could link both floors together, though?  Also the screen stretching for a bit before entering the menu kinda looks strange, but maybe that's just me?

NIce start! Will you add colored text? It would rock with some colors, when having a status or having low HP! :p

Slap a Walrii on everything, they said. It'll be fun, they said.

I dunno about the menu. I kind of like how it differentiates from the screen being cleared normally, but I can see how it would look weird. I'll try it without and see how it looks.

That's actually a good idea. Not adding color to add color, but to signify low HP. I like it. I'll experiment some with it. My only worry with it is that it'll break the DOS command prompt theme, but I think it's worth it.

Yeah, and maybe add a Walrii too :P
It might be helpful if I got the Celtic II sprite data from DJ :P

I am almost completely finished! I need some testers to give feedback on Solius. If you are interested, please PM me or post a reply. I'm not too picky on who I want to test, just as long as you have a CSE!

Ooh awesome. Did you add some of the color stuff I suggested earlier? :D

I added color and also made the treasure chest respawn and nerfed the amount of Exp it gives, to encourage travelling around. I also added a visual indicator if a chest leveled you up ("+"). I also changed the level at which the two weakest enemies (t is the weakest and m the second weakest) disappear. As a third change, I removed the little +5 HP bonus whenever you defeat an enemy.

Awesome. As for treasure chests giving exp this reminds me more recent RPGs like Star Ocean 4 and Borderlands. Back then, only MMORPGs gave experience for quests or treasures, but nowadays most single-player RPGs do it as well.


How are stats btw? (as in how much HP do you start with and how many levels, HP, etc, do you finish with?)

You always have 100 HP. Every 2 levels, your Defense goes up by one point, and that reduces 2 damage done to you per Defense point. You damage output is directly related to your level, meaning no Attack stat in between. You also heal by as much HP as you do to other enemies.You start at Level 1 with 1 Defense point, and the max HP and Defense is 20 and 11, respectively. Exp given by enemies fluxuates based on your level and enemy type, so a tough enemy may drop 30 Exp at Level 1, but only 26 at Level 2, and so on. You can never actually get negative Exp, though. Chests always give you 10 Exp.

Also just for future reference, there is a secret in this game already. I'll give you a hint:
You have to press a certain key when starting a new file. Not saying when in the new file process, or what key to press. It lets you start out with 50 exp instead of 10.
