Ladies and gentlemen, as someone who works in theater production, let me just say that, given the choice, I will take the live stage over the animated one. Holy fridge, this was a pain in the ass to coordinate.
Anyway, this is the opening video that plays before the main menu. It does have the ability to skip. I might add in a small prompt at the beginning for that 
It does need some polishing, yes, but it is roughly complete.
Is it long? A bit. But there is a wealth of information and foreshadowing going on here, beyond a simple story. (Also, if you've never been to a tribal gathering, know that they always go long. At least half a decade. There is always more to say and talk about.)
I am very proud of myself for completing this 
Next up is going to be the opening scene when you begin a new game.
Loading...Ahem! Today I am going to tell you the story of the Thousand-Year D--No. Wait. That's not right.
(No audio. Haven't found the right background ambience yet)
Next up
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.
Decided to do some work on the save/load. Name, Chapter, and even Total Play Time CORRECTLY FORMATTED 
Will work on the chapter banners later. Free time formatting code below
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

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