Topic: Progress Report
The party is full if not complete. Still pending some art changes before the menu will even open after Marty and Aerin join. And though the Hero Shrine will talk you through all the prompts, it won't actually do anything. But everybody joins the party and makes the trek across Amin to the Achiela Ferry, where the battles start up again. Measured and limited battles, mind; I have a set experience quota for this tutorial.
I also spent some time debating how to format save files. Since I'm coming from a fairly extensive base, I know pretty much everything that needs to go into them. They won't be directly compatible with old saves, I already know that. But I do have some features in mind (Dungeon Lords, horribly executed as it was, did teach me some things) that require a bit of extra care in making sure data is saved deliberately.
I also need to finish the abilities menu at some point. All these new party members have all sorts of nifty abilities that the player needs to be able to see and/or use.
