So,work has been pretty solid on my newest game that I'm currently calling Kruntovas. As you can see on the left here, the world map is done. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I've also done a lot of graphical work on the characters and the backgrounds.
A lot of the programming still needs to be done though, and not many of the hundreds of monsters and other obstacles planned have been done at all. Also, the intro needs tons of work, the menu system isn't really working yet, and the characters don't have working stats.
However, things are going smoother than most of my projects have been going for almost a year now. I don't know if I've just got a sudden surge of passion for game making or if I just really like this particular game but whatever the case, this game is actually ahead of schedule. Don't expect it to be rearing it's crazy little head any time soon mind you, but there's a good chance it will be complete by the end of next year at the very latest.
Let's hope I can keep up my pace and have this thing in "stores" in time for Christmas.
