Matrix, I must say, this project has really blown me away, and I haven't even played it yet! I was hoping to wait for the update, but I have to say, this project looks absolutely amazing. A normal game is a tough job, but you have done everything 100% custom, and that is a feat on its own.
I can't wait to try this game (as I said, I was hoping for the update, but if it isn't soon, I might go ahead with it), and you've done a phenomenal job. You give people with intermediate experience with RMXP (like myself) something to aspire to.
