Couple things to cover today. Vahn's made some good progress on the battle system. The game now imports the moves list CSV and they're now available and mostly working in game (except for a self-buff move which heals the enemy, for some reason). The new UI is also handling them well. Our next step is to give the battle more information about what to do with those moves. For instance, telling it what 'stun' means and how that works.
After a pretty rough holiday period some friends of mine have been helping me get my art mojo back. After nearly a decade of doing it for a living, it's difficult to see it as a fun thing again. Despite that though I've been trying a lot of new things, including frame-by-frame animation. I've always wanted to try it, and I don't think having animations would hurt the game. Turns out I think I have a knack for it, and if it's something I can bring to the game, I will. Let me know what you guys think.
If you'd like to see some of my attempts at animation, here are some links. They're all NSFW.
