Graphics definitely looking good, I hope it will be fun tactically too :D
I think the 3/4 perspective is definitely the best, it's the most immersive/appealing option as the characters fit into the world better.
Which platforms will you be putting this game on?
Thanks  I'll definitely be releasing it for PC, and I'm hoping to release it on Mac and Linux as well. |

if I want 4 directions then facing up and down might look weird. In contrast, 3/4 perspective can be done correctly with up/down directions. I think I'll settle on that!
Yeah hadn't considered that, makes sense then to go with the 3/4 perspective. |

Yeah, 3/4 looks quite alright but then again, I love what I saw on one of your first images and personally I think that's even better  |

Thanks! Tomorrow he'll hopefully have a sword and an attacking animation/frame. |

I didn't post much yesterday besides sprites. Here's what I did (big stuff):
Day 68
* put in new character art + attacking animations
* make characters 'bounce' on each step
* put in end of turn buttons
* Added Singleplayer
Today I've been struggling with some network synchronization problems. The same code that allowed singleplayer and AI tweaks introduced new bugs in multiplayer. I think I finally fixed them, so I'm pretty happy about that now.
I'm going to add more monster stats, and I think I'll try adding in some new AI too. The AI at the moment is just chasing a particular player and attacking them, but I've left it easily customizeable so I can add in new algorithms that deal with tactics such as hit and run (attack once then run away), pure random movement, keeping distance from the player (for ranged), etc.

On the players' turn they get to choose which of them goes first, second, third and last. This allows for a bit of strategy over a random turn order among players while still hopefully being a fast experience. For example, you may think that the archer should go first, pick off a goblin who is blocking the way, and clear a path for the assassin to run through. |

Day 70
* Added player death
* Added ability to walk through friendly players
* Added networked attack animations
* Added new entities to the to level editor
I received some concepts for the high elf, however I think they need some modifications. Hopefully I'll have something to show tomorrow. I decided to make the high elf into a strong, confident female character, more than capable with a bow or sword.

Thanks! I'm trying to post here every day to update people who are interested in the game and as a record to see what I've done. So far it seems like an effective method to get myself into good working habits |
