After months of hearing you guys bitch about lack of updates, the long awaited Chapter 16 is here!

Marcel participated in the North Alabama Science fair. He entered his level editor as "An Iterative Approach to Software Development." Lets just say that he won a very large amount of awards. He also won an award from the state competition and will be flying to Reno to participate in the international fair.

The game development focus of this video is the NPC system. It was essential to get this crap done for several reasons. The first being that it's one of the only remaining things left in the engine unfinished. The second because the enemies in the battle system use the same logic (before a battle is envoked).

In other news the Battle System and a few other surprises that I refuse to show off are coming along nicely. Due to almost a total lack of art, I don't want to show these off just yet. If you think that you have what it takes to join us as a pixel/2D artist for either tiles or characters (all positions are open), please join our forums at http://elysianshadows.com and personal message a team member.

Oh, there was also a rather large site update. Go check that out. Join the forums and join us in IRC at irc.freenode.net channel: #elysian_shadows.

If you donated for the camera and still haven't seen your request, it's coming. I have a list of you. :D

Kendall and I are at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, Marcel and Peter are in high school (Peter just graduated). The rest of the team attends other college (don't know where everybody is).

[Z3r0XoL]

[brandenissp00n]

omg better quality video i love it even more now

[Logart8]

@IDmann700 What a retard, it is fun and me being a programmer as well it is nice to look back at your project and realise what you have done. And just because it came out 10 or so years ago doesn't mean it isn't a good system. I still to this day play my NES and enjoy. I actually enjoy my NES more than a lot of modern games.

[lapidations]

Thanks for making these videos! I've come to know you guys through Lusikkamage and I'd just like to say this series are really inspiring for ppl like me that are learing SDL and stuff. Cheers from Brazil, SEGA rules!

@IDmann700 1: its not a 90's system... it came out a year before the PS2, and unless you consider 1999 to be 90's... it not.

and 2: its an amazing system!!! :D
