Final Fantasy VI SDK - Going Social!

Thanks for the comments! 
@craybest
Yeah I showed MCG, the author of the original Mode7 Engine, that it was possible to retrieve Bitmaps (thanks to poccil's __id__ discovery) with a dll and process to a rotation with almost no lags. It works really nicely.
@Avadan
For now, it will stay on XP, mainly because of the map editor and because I already spent almost 2 years working only on XP.
But yeah, porting it to VX would make me even more powerful... gwahahaha! hmm...
@Xilef
Right not, most of the systems probably won't be usable outside the SDK because of the way I'm working in the script editor.
I have like a second RGSS library below Scene_Debug and above Main. But, as I have mentioned before, most of them can be toggled on/off.
When the SDK will be completed, if I have the will and time, I'll make all of them available separately.
Again, thanks for all the comments!
This week I'll try to upload a second video showing the particle system.
Take care!

Haven't kept up with this project in awhile, but looks like you've come a long way on it, looks very nice ^^, can't wait for a VX version eventually lol.
Though I haven't played FFVI in a very long time..I don't think mode 7 should "tip" like that, but not sure if that's your engine or how FFVI in general was..but it looks good regardless ^^.

I have a few questions for the SDK:
1. Are you going to have special map effects? Like the blurry effect when Terra wakes up in the beginning of the game in the Old Man's house?
2. Are you going to have fading tilesets? Like fading to black or white or whatever color. Say... like when FF6 introduces Terra. Everything except her fades out.

That mode7 script is incredible. I never thought there was any chance XP could handle map rotation. I have two questions.
1) Is it possible with that script to have buildings actally poping up out of the ground, or are they still flat?
2) When are you going to release the next SDK with that included?

@fox5
The Mode7 Engine handles vertical sprites and tiles, so yes, you can have buildings poping out of the ground
I don't want to give a date for the next demo simply because, if something happens and I have to postpone it, I don't want people to complain about it. The only thing I can say is that everything is coming along pretty well.
@Xilef
In fact, the "Blur Effect" Celes_cole is talking about isn't a blur effect. It's pixelisation of the whole screen.

Here, around 0:30 you can see what I'm talking about.

I will use the blur and probably radial blur effect. But pixel manipulation in RGSS is very difficult for the system. I wrote a pixelation method for the Bitmap class, it works, but its way to slow. Besides that, all RGSS2 bitmap effects are probably made in C (in rgss202e.dll) and also probably use a Ruby wrapper. That's why the effect takes less than a second to be applied.
