Ok! I've finally made some progress and have completed the second demo of the game!
It should be about one hour long of gameplay.
For those of you who played v0.01, this demo isn't a LOT longer than the previous one.
I've worked mainly on polishing the battles, the maps, the dialogue and the menus.
I haven't progressed as far with the story as I would've liked (but it is all there in my head, so I have no worries about the game entering hiatus!), because I've been doing of events checking, scripts polish, etc.
I'd say the game at this point is about 40% completed. We still haven't seen any of Prince Rostam, and we're yet to confront our main antagonist.
New things/changes:
- Quest Log added
- I'm working on fixing the balance of the enemies, etc.!
- Additional maps
- One new playable character (A cleric)
- One more Herbalism recipe (I hope herbalism is actually useful, this time around...)
- New Skills
- New Items
I post the second demo in hopes that those of you who didn't get the chance to play the first one tell me what you think: if you like the direction where the game is going and stuff like that.
And if you DID PLAY the first one, please tell me if you think this is an improvement!
So... I'm uploading the demo now. Hopefully it'll get accepted sometime soon.
Please post any bug report/critique/comment/suggestions/rant/anything HERE in this blog post and NOT on the main game page, so I can concentrate more easily on finding all suggestion regarding v0.02, ok?
Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention, you'll need the RPG Maker XP RTP (you can find the link in the 'Credits' page of this game profile) and the "Steinem Unicode" Font (there's a copy in my locker -- it's called STEINEMU.ttf).
Also, the game's encrypted for convenience. If anyone wants to get an un-encrypted version, just ask me and I'll find a way to send it to you.
EDIT2: The download is now live! I'm thankful for it being accepted. =)
