Battle music is active. Right now it is the Rawk Hawk boss music (Paper Mario 2)
Set up the state chart progression for the battle. It is also based on Paper Mario progression (thanks to the person [can't find the article again] who decoded it in Dolphin). PM uses a five-stage progression (opening, player, between, enemy, closing). I decided to expand and use a seven-stage (opening, pre-turn, player, between, post-turn, closing) for ease of cycling. To avoid duplicating stage events, post-turn is used solely to determine if any enemies are left so it can either cycle to a new turn or go into victory closing
Haven't decided what kind of stage events I want to happen. I think I might use more audience events instead, like throwing helpful items or maybe getting into fights depending on who is winning
In the opening, player and enemies walk onto the stage. Personally, I think it would be really cool if they bowed or made some kind of mutual gesture before attempting to murder each other, but that's a fluff thing at this point
Player attack menu appears when it is the player's turn and disappears when player turn is finished
I should probably really put some work into the followers before I get too much further into this. If anyone is interested, the first follower you pick up is a friendly attack dog

Next up
Today's accomplishments include a rather smooth state machine, a functioning opening cutscene, and name input. It's not pretty, but there aren't any bugs
Doing some designing of the main village, mostly so I can get some connections in and get the next part of the opening cutscenes roughed in.
Battle State Machine is working Player chooses what to do, enemies choose what to do, and they even have variable rates of attack/defend/flee. Next step will be to actually start dealing damage

Working on battles. A little different than last time, aesthetically, but still the same basic idea

Did some rough level work in the cave system. Got the long tunnel, and this one is the first puzzle place (if anyone is familiar with the four stairs/doors puzzle in Paper Mario 2, this is going to be very similar).
