Wow, has it really been about 3 weeks since my last post!?  I'm still working on the game, but as I mentioned previously, things are going slow.  I tried creating my own tiles/sprites and my own music, but I'm not talented in that area.  For now, I've started to use free sprite packs.  Audio will have to come at a later date, though I've found some free audio packs as well.  What have I done these 3 weeks?  Not a lot of tangible work I'm afraid.  I added a 'cut scene' at the start.  Worked on the key items menu option.  I added a dungeon (no enemies yet) and a route to get to the dungeon (also no enemies on the way).  I tested adding multiple NPCs to a scene set with the onUpdate scripts set to see how responsive it is.  I probably shouldn't have more than 2......3 NPCs at absolute most using the onUpdate per scene.  Performance really starts to slow down at 2-3.  

Here's a video that shows the 'cutscene'.  I don't think I've changed anything recently.
