Because quoting FF8 is fun~

MY REQUEST IS BELOWW
Ok! To the nine new subscribers, welcome aboard!
I'm curious as to what anyone's wondering about with the game. I have a fairly extensive blog (to myself, since no one else read it) lingering around that has some lengthy discussions on vapourware, war, original characters, and various other interesting subjects! I could also talking about spriting. If you really want me too.
I want to hear from you guys! It's lovely to get so many positive comments, and they usually leave me beaming. But critique is great, too! I just want to extend my sincerest and deepest thanks to everyone for refraining on the "seriously, a fangame?" and "ew FF8". I suppose those who dislike FF8 have avoided the page, but one of my biggest frets about posting the game was the vehement hatred of FF8 that tends to linger. Lately I've noticed a sympathetic side to FF8 in the forums and in IRC, so that's why I decided to post.

Anyway what have I been doing? Not much to really show. I've started another map and did an experiment with the VXA tiles:

(orz)
I also made two frames of Squall's attack.

As well as other database and code and boring stuff! Though I enjoy databasing sometimes. I'm a bit of a masochist I guess.

Well, WHILE I AM HERE and while I decide to label this blog as a request, HERE'S THE REQUEST STUFF:
YUP RIGHT HERE
I'm looking for a general go-to coder who'd be willing to work for free/trade for sprites or art in order to do the menus and battle aesthetics.
I'll be using Victor Sant's sideview most likely. I have a mockup kicking around of the battle layout:

And a couple of menus. It's nothing 100% urgent (though battle layout would be nice, I don't have enough battle sprites done yet) BUT THAT BEING SAID, the sooner all the code is finalized the easier I'll sleep at night.
I cannot offer monetary resources at this point because I'm a poor college student :x

THAT ABOUT WRAPS IT UP

To finish off this blogpost, have some art.
