We were in desperate need for a sprite artist and Niko came running. Our knight in pixelated armor.

That's right, we have a new sprite artist! You might know him a EpsilonEagle256, over at the ChuckleFish Forums.

In other news, I have been working on the weapon system. Currently we have two different weapon types implemented but plan to have about 9. I will leave the in depth talk about weapons for a future post.

James on the other hand is still working on the inventory, you can currently pick up, store, drop and equip items in the inventory. He is now implementing a way for stats and tool tips to be viewable from within the inventory.

One of the weapons I have implemented is the staffs, these are all area of effect "magical" weapons.

Here is an example of a fire staff, bare in mind the player animation has not yet been made for the using of the staff, so it might look a little strange. Also, the process is in 60 fps in game, but the gif has only 15 frames.  It looks a hell of a lot smoother when used in game.
