Slania

Just finished my work on LUA integration. Now localization and render system works via LUA. It’s much better, because now I can use separated data files for each subsystem and modify it easily. Well, now, I think, I should start to implement gameplay features, starting with new turn based system and planning RPG model in game. Some screens here.

Player meets kobold. As you see, tiles increased to 15×15 from 8×12, it’s much better for eyes, I think.

Select race menu (in Russian).

Sorry for the long absence. I’ve had problems with my health. In the near future I will do to improve the functionality of the engine. Plan on remaking:

• New localization system. With gender, case, articles support.
• Support custom tile sets better.
• Lots of internal improvements such as complex LUA script integration.
