True story of where we are in the RPG and why we arn't finished.

One, where we are:
* Each character has 30 levels, and roughly 25 abilities over 30 levels, for a total of 75 special ability animations. The 13 summonable POs and special wepon effects total up to roughly 100+ battle animations. 5 POs are complete, and 40~50 battle animations are complete, as well as all the weapons.

* Custom sprite sets are complete for all major characters, but the front sets for UP, Shino, Doot, Sakura, Pickle, Sperrit, and Jolly Roger were not completed in the first stprite run, as they are minor characters. They still have yet to be completed.

* Story board and most dialoguie is finished.

* Balancing is considered to be complete, with the exception of special PO summons and some abilites.

* Of the 5 major dungeons in the game, 2 are complete. This is the major crux in the system.

Reasons why we arent done:

* Sloth. This sin, thought to have originated from Terin, is prevalent in male gamers, aged 12+. There is no known cure. Possibley killing Terin, although this has never been proven. Hes a tricky one.

* Burn. After giving up on the crunch time trying to finish the game for AWA, we were burned out and never got back on the band wagon.

* Distractions. World of Warcraft, Metal Gear Solid, other things have taken up our time. Damn time!! Working on killing time, but its in league with Terin, so its hard to track down.

So there you have it. The game is pretty close to completion, but not done. Its something I think about everyday, especailly about how much we've disapointed the masses by not delivering on time. One of the first things we decided about the game was not to tell anyone abot it until it was done, which we obviopusly didnt follow. We've learned from this experience adn you cna expect us to be more tight liped in the future abot projects. The fact is, actaully, that I procured an entire other computer to work on the project, an old HP that I got when I was in high school. Twice I tried to work on the machine, but the programs reslolution is skewd and it wont save work, whcih defeats the purpose. currently consdiering reformatting the machine. So theres my story, and Im stickin' to it. Again, the apologies, but since you've got me thinkin about it im sort of inspired *goes off to work*

Dude you don't have to apologize for anything. The only reason I was concerned was because with most Rpg Projects I have been involved in/known people tend to burn out and give up on the RPG about half way or so. I was just worried you guys had done the same. If I came across as impatient or dissapointed in anyway I want to apoligize. I'm glad to see you guys are back on the ball. It might be better that we DO know there is something coming so we can bug you about it in case of hostile Terin body abductions or Time coming to murder you in your sleep. ^^

<_<

>_>

Um..... Yeah.... what Dai said.

Seriously.... I speak truthfully when I say that I think about it on a daily basis too and I know out excuses all stem from flat out lazieness, but we cant help it. It will get finshed..... However we are not sure when.

I am deeply sorry for the delays.... but I really cant say anymore than Dai did about it.

well...we see where the problem is then...i say we go on a terin hunt!

j/k...take your time guys...the more time you put in, and themore care you guys put in, hte better it'll come out. Dont rush yourself, cause that causes problems in the future, adn possible "i wish i had done this or that" on your conscience. So take your time!

In the meanwhile...Ultra and I will look for Terin...and bring him to ya Very Happy

*runs off iwth Ultra*
