The current state of things

[HeroOfHyla]

Here's where the game is so far, in terms of the engine:

Moving and handling collisions works.
Melee combat works, but not with any stats affecting damage. The combat might actually be a bit too difficult now, especially if you're surrounded.
Displaying message boxes works, but I can't remember whether I've ironed out all the bugs.
Basic HUD elements work, but need better and more varied art.

Well, as long as there is not a flood of really tough monsters it should be fine. I'm sure you would probably encounter at max three of those wolfs at a time.
