The Shining Source

Added an overland map, I'm working on a second location, and I've begun preparing for a more detailed walkabout menu that allows item use, item giving and spellcasting outside of battle .

excellent!

is egress going to be a consideration?
that would probably be my most desired spell at this point.

Possibly, although I personally prefer a manual retreat move. That way, someone in the party will have to try to reach a square close to the starting point without being shot down/killed by enemies.

That will also enable the possibility to have battles where the objective is *not* to slay all opposition, but instead to sneak past...

Made more progress with the walkabout menu, added more stuff to the Taziram map and added a cave level to the game.

Giving items is now possible, although the interface is still very non-descriptive (will need to add more text menus ).

Added descriptions to the interface, updated the overland map and have made preparations to reintroduce Kyra into the game. I'm forking the sprites from the old Kyra/Lace sprites, making a more boring one for Lace (she is meant to be more "boring") and sticking closer to Elv's original for Kyra.
