OMNIS - the erias line UPDATE




























It's been a while since I've posted, but not through lack of progress.

The narrative script is nearing completion of its eighth iteration, with many new inclusions that I'm both pleased with and excited about. The daily precession of odds and ends that need attending to doesn't seem to end, though every session of work I put in constitutes another step towards the project being finished.

The screen shot above is of the menu screen, and includes one of my more recent additions. Namely, that of the icon for the status effect "sadness", which RPG fans will already be familiar with. In my project, Sadness hampers the accruing of AP as well as reducing the amount of EXP received from a battle if the status is still in effect upon victory.

I'll make more of an effort to post frequently, though whilst I'm focusing on the script there won't be much in the way of visual updates to present.
