I know I know, it's been ages I haven't been here and posted something constructive about the game or anything and honestly I don't really have any excuses for it. You know, work, girlfriend, etc, basically life and going through the motions.
I have not been working on the game ever since November and to tell you the truth I'm not sure I'll continue. Reason is, time issues firstly but mostly because of the lack of options RPG Maker 2000 is giving me. If I want my game to look the part then I need it to be better then just another PS game, I need some originality or something different but at the same time keeping the feel of the originals which BTW I think I was doing in a way or two. Sure then you could tell me, "use another Game Maker" and to that I answer sure! But and there's always a but... After all the time I spent making the maps, building the chipsets, etc, I don't have the energy to start over and I'm sure most of you can understand that.
Now that being said, I'm slowly writing a new story that sadly doesn't really have anything to do with any of the PS games, well, sure it does but more in the way of PS3's link to the other three games. But that is something that won't be in production until I know how to make 3D animations which is still a long ways ahead.
I know that's probably not the "update" some of you wanted but I have to admit to myself that making a game takes up a lot of your time which I just don't have anymore and that a project should be a group process instead of a one man show.
I'll probably release my battle animations someday for anyone to use but I need to be certain that I'm not going to finish the game first which is right now, still in production.
I hope you understand and fell free to say anything.
PS: Why did you change the board BTW? I liked to original better, it had more flair to it
