I’ve been quietly hammering away at the core RPG systems:

• Combat;
• Statistics (i.e. levelling up);
• Encounters/boss fights.

Lets take sneak peak where we are now:

First, there is now a Forest level filled with encounters (avoidable)



Combat is a lot more sophisticated now, including attributes and statistics



After defeating all enemies, you gain experience and gold



This one is the first boss of the game



And he sure packs a punch!



With the town level aready complete, it’s time to look at creating a complete vertical slice:

1. a story/main quest
2. a town area – done
3. a dangerous area (i.e. the forest) – done
4. a boss – done
5. inventory (both cards as well as equipment);
6. many more cards;
7. more interesting cards/decks for enemies;
8. more spell effects;
9. basic menu structure.

Note that apart from inventory management, all systems are already in place.
