The magic sword

This will be a blog about my current game project, which I right now call "the magic sword". The game is inspired by classic adventure/rpg/platform/action games like zelda, castlevania, megaman and many others. Here is a list of features that I would like to implement:

• Fast and intuitive battle system
• Classic rpg attributes
• Items
• Abilities and spells
• Some kind of world map
• Trading with NPC's
• Various monsters/bosses 
• Random level generator for "random encounters" on the world map
• "Permadeath"?

What is done so far:

• Basic "physics"
• Basics of the battle system
• Dynamic lighting (needs some adjustments)

There is plenty of work but I hope this blog will help keeping me on track towards the goal.
