Fallacious Gear Battle Demo!
by WIP (wip@nextnexus.net)

Well, I think it was DragonShadow that asked me how my game was doing and I told him I'd release a little demo when I got back to my computer. Well, here it is. You can't do much as of yet. When you start the game, walk over either tile of water inside the chunk of land.

The bottom-left water tile opens up a little dialogue window.

The other water tile opens up a little test battle. Here is where the fun begins :D. It's you (Damizean, Annika, Richt, and Lazaerin) against 2 Peons. The battle system is a CTB (Charge Time Battle), so there is no waiting between turns.

When a menu pops-up, it means it's your turn (I haven't thought of a nice way to display who's turn it is yet). Attack and Slash work, while Item, Magic, and Guard do not.

When you Attack, you can chose any of the battle occupants to attack, including your own party. Up/Down moves through the list of enemies/allies and Left/Right switches between enemies/allies. Select one and you get to see the spiffy damage counter pop-up. And then that person's turn is over!

Use the Slash command to attack all targets of either the enemy or ally party.

Anytime during battle, hold down Shift and press a corresponding direction to change the "Info Style." The Info Style is how the character's stats are displayed in battle.
