Alright so time for an update finally. First off lets start with what I'm doing. Well, this is the index. Basically your info giving menu. You can get information on areas, people, items, and enemies. The enemies you can actually upgrade to give more experience or credits, but they also get stronger when you do that. You can also weaken them to certain things... but their other stats will still go up.

Now why did this take so long. Well it's not the only thing I was working on. I mentioned in some replies in the previous thread I had to redo the graphics from previous completed menus. Finish that a few months ago. Then I had to do the remaining menus which went much slower. One of those is the message system. The old feature creep got me and I ended up putting almost two months into something that was unfeasible. there's still going to be a message system. basically like cell phone dialogue. I just need to scale it back quite a bit. It's the only menu left.

Right now I'm currently working on a shop cuz I don't want to work on the message thing yet. Still mad at it. you won't encounter a shop int he prologue. I'm just doing it anyway.

Now for the real life.  Things are kinda interesting. Old man is retiring. Gran is ill. And we got the beer bug going around so my April vacation just got cancelled. My job is fine and not shutting down. One relative got fired and another quit and another closed down his business. So I'm the only one working regularly right now out of 2 brothers and parents. They're all financially stable and we all got people we can turn to if we need help, But I've been spending more time with them. Just checking in and making sure their okay. That kind of thing. And that's probably going to continue for a bit.

I still work on the game regularly when I get free time. That hasn't changed. Anyway. I think that's everything. Hope you're all doing well. Cheers.
