Small frame, health bar, mp bar, empty bars. Not sure how well they will look in the game, but they look pretty good in the source. Transparent version, background for it.

Looks more like white than transparent. Going to try to load some of it into the game after screens are sorted. I asked about screens on lemma to find out if my attempt at improvement is sound and how best to do it, I'd like a response before updating any major screens

DB previewer doesn't support alpha channel, showing it as white.

I can't find the place where you calculate character AP.

PytCharacter class, there are several methods.

I wonder, maybe it should be based on the character level... After all stats maxes, including constitution which gives AP atm, are limited by level anyway.

If not, then agility should affect it too. Speed is just as important as constitution for performing many actions.

We can offset using agility in jobs, where it's appropriate. AP are mostly for MC anyway, if there weren't combined action like Arena combat, I would not even use them for any other character. We have a bunch of overlapping concepts, this is one of them, together with agility, constitution and vitality...

Speaking of which, in many games stuff like health and mp are derivatives of other stats. Such as constitution and intelligence in our case. We can calculate them instead of keeping independent.

Stats/skills are complex enough as it is without throwing more wood into that furnace

Perhaps APs should only be used outside jobs then. There are always other ways to limit jobs if the character was too active in VN mode. Vitality is one of them. A flag that forbids the character to work during the next turn is another one, if something major happened.

Yeap, that wouldn't be the worst thing but I recon that with SimPy, it will be easy to change at any time.

Oki, I've loaded team frames into fg to take a look at how they fit. Productivity was at 0 tonight cause of a sh1tty day, time to call it a night.

Btw at the building_management screen you show a (seemly random) character picture in the right bottom corner. Is there a reason to do so?

Manager... you can change in the chars list screen.
