Just thought I'd share some more progression on the Single Player Java RPG game I've been working on with my brother.
I'm currently going to college for Computer Information Systems but during my first year and a half at college I've been taking some C++ and Java courses and upon completing my last semester of Java I thought I'd put my knowledge to the test and see what I could do with it.
Roughly 130-145 hours have been put into this game engine/game so far. (I lost count after about 100 hours.)
(All graphics are going to be done by us with no external ripping of direct images off of other RPG games).
Here are images of our progress of what I have been able to code and my brother/me been able to create graphics wise.

*Out of game GUI is about 60% done, I still need to go back and update stuff/improve/add more images.
*Collisions work for the main character (No more walking off the map/through enemies)
*Enemies now walk around in random directions on the map. Stopping every once and awhile
*VERY Early workings of warping to a different map (I only have two test maps created)
*Main character's health, energy, and "souls" are displayed on the in game GUI.
*Main Menu GUI's buttons when hovered over them make a select noise and brighten a little.
*Main Menu background music is working.
*More tileset work done, (Charred grass)
*1-2-2013*
*A GUI main menu that allows access to the game
*A single loadable map so far.
*A 5 frame animated main character that is able to move w a s or d. (Movement is northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast instead of north east south west, to give it that 2.5D feel.
*I am able to load 5 frame animated enemies (Graphics for certain enemies are not done yet.
*Able to walk behind trees/other tall structures and appear to be behind them.
*Collision detection is being working on... (Explains the red boxes around the enemies and people
So yeah this is the 3.5 update to the game me and and my brother have created so far. Progress is slow during college but I'm shooting for mid summer alpha play testing maybe...we'll see.. and if I'm really lucky, end of summer game compeletion
