----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE 0.71

*added sound effects
*added a new main theme - you listen to the same one about 3000 times during development and it starts to get to you

UPDATE 0.065:
*added fire
*fixed collision detection
*added items and a powerup
*lots more scenery
*new music
*drawing order slightly better
*obstacles and solutions(gameplay!)

bugs:

UPDATE 0.04:
*fixed almost everything, broke some good stuff
*added water
*added randomization to pickups
*much bigger map
*new dungeon replacing the old one
*adde some stats
*destructible grass patches

bugs:
* enemies pass through objects in the grid square where they originated, probably simple but couldn't figure it out yet
* drawing order is in hell, illustrated by water
* enemies get stuck on things every once in a while
* world generation has no overlap check so dead-ends and stuckness ensue


UPDATE 0.03:
* fixed everything again because everything not only was broken, but also stupid and wrong
* added an enemy type (4 total)
* added pickups (3 total)
* there is still a dungeon with the only unique creature in the game
* it is widescreen now, sorry 4:3 folks
* for love 0.70 there is a crude level editor, "e": activates "leftmouse": drops an object "rightmouse": changes the object

UPDATE 0.02:
* fixed everything because everything was broken
* added 2 enemy types (3 total)
* added items
* there is a dungeon now
* all important grass patches are now implemented

I salute the entry of another RPG (as a kind of roguelike Barrelike "cousin") in LOVE world.
For now things seems promising and I like the conceptual minimal art feel of the game.
What is the thing that is dropped when a tree is killed? (yes, i spent a couple of minutes killing a 999hp tree since my 3hp can't handle a fight with a near 100hp mob)

I should make an isometric engine and make a huge rpg so everyone will be all like

Shameless bump, but it is *much* better now.

Yes it's. I actually managed to kill a mob. And the guy got now a larger penis!
Now show some "balls"! Improve it more

A bunch of people told me not to do things, so I did what they said not to do. I got to the edge of the map and got killed by ghosts.

See its got that morality system where you are punished for not following good advice, and of course soon I'll put in some bad advice that will be indistinguishable from the good

bump it goes

with 0.05 it's getting better. saw the water stream for the first time and liked very much the flow of water (however enemy are too stupid to avoid it lol). saw too the altar, ok it's a trap but seems you like to don't give any chance to players. I believe u should focus a bit on map construction. there are too much elements that get layer stacked (in particular the large brown "rocks" ?) so map turns to be a lot confuse, not very clean and unpleasent. Maybe help if you change the dark blue background to another "ground"/"grass" color to give some "reality". All the rest I believe It's fine for now.

PS1 About bugs did't find much but perhaps the major thing to fix is that "blocky" large things disappear before we reach the camera limit.

PS2 "m" seems to turn the music off but why can't we turn on again too?
