Next combat demo

Okay, I'll admit, this shouldn't have taken as long as it did. I had it done ages ago with like, two or three things to add. And then I never added them and got side-tracked by other things. BUT IT'S OKAY CAUSE I GOT MOTIVATED AND FINISHED IT FINALLY.

So, things that I changed: I made it prettier. A lot prettier. Also I added text entries, which was part of the delay. I think I fixed up a few other things, like AI problems. Anyway, combat demo is ready for release, and I'll work on the non-combat section of the game next. Expect that to take a while. Post comments if you're getting impatient. Fan feedback always gets me working. Once I've got the opening sequence made up I'll post a new demo.

Okay, now, for those of you who love me and want to do testing and shit, here's what I need.
1. RECORD NUMBERS.
If bugs are happening with numbers, I need to know. So record your numbers, record your roll and your bonuses, try and work out where bonuses are coming from etc. before reporting bugs.
2. RECORD EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
The game records both your current and previous actions, if something appears to break, I need to know how it broke, I need to know every situation that occured, so I can scour the code and work it out.
3. REPEAT THE BUG.
If you find a bug, try and get it to happen again. The more instances of the bug you can find, the more common factors I can work out and use to solve the problem.

Hope you enjoy the crappy writing, and thanks for any bug hunting you do.

Engine update.

Okay so, I'm really, REALLY sorry I haven't released an update. I've been meaning to, but I kept getting distracted by a myriad of things. I'm currently writing up some combat text for the test, which will probably be tweaked a little and then used in the game itself. I just wanted to show how text display works right now. Then I went out a lot because what's responsibility, am I right?

Anyway, writing should be done in a day or two and I'll integrate it into the game the next day. Expect an update this weekend. REALLY SORRY GUIZ.
