Battle Royale

Made some very great progress last week with the combat system in the game. Below is an example of what it looks like when you encounter a beastie that is capable of spawning other beasties:



Specifically, the lovecraftian creature is periodically casting a spawn spell, bringing up skeletal minions. An interesting thing I did that is also presented here is that the skeletons all have different armaments (spear, mace, sword). Ultimately I lose the battle, and there you can see the scripting engine take over, respawning your character in the homebase for this chapter of the game.
