I'm a high school student but I'm a senior; my team consists of half seniors, and one in college and two juniors and one... ninth grader. Being a senior is pretty dang easy as far as homework goes, because for the most part you get to do exactly what classes you want because you've already met the credit requirements if you've passed all your classes thus far.
Also, we have Fall Break and parent teacher conferences this month so we have four days off of school. Very valuable. Not to mention we finished the story four days ahead of schedule, and the music (sound effects not included) a full three weeks before schedule, so things are looking good.
Wow I have no classes for 2 day straight. Because of biggest country wide medial mission and religious holiday(Eid'l Adha).

Lucky me.(not to be mistaken as a Philippines noodle brand)
Double post. (but this is added at 9:25 anyway)
To make sure that the game is bug free the Private Beta testing program for town of Illustive is now open. If anyone interested please PM Me. For protection reason Judges are not allowed unless if stated by the event organizer otherwise. As different people have different way to play the game anyway.

Since there is no rule stated that I can't do that. It means I could start a private beta testing program. and since I don't want you to play a game that have game breaking bug anyway.

To ease download/upload space, beta tester should have the RTP installed.
There's a ton of teams. Gonna be interesting to see how many finishes.

According to my calculation there is a 1 in a 10 chance that it will be 1/4 of the teams will release anything. Because of a lot of reasons. (mostly pokemon X and Y)

Yes, but unfortunately I'm also the only team member with the Lite version instead of the full program! :p
May I suggest you download the Ace trial, which ought to get you through the event, timewise (BTW, you get 30 days)?

Already used it up or I would.
Hey! Look! Our gamepage is up! Wow that took a long time. Here you go:
ZEPHYR SKIES: FALL INTO MADNESS
The sequel to critically acclaimed fantasy epic Zephyr Skies, hope you all enjoy when we're done.
I just realized my game will not be politically correct. Is this a problem?

It's true. I didn't think of it at time but I came to realization someone may find a character with a disability offensive, even if said character is never portrayed in a negative light.
Craze
why would i heal when i could equip a morningstar

all the characters in louiscyphre and i's project have a disability

it's called mortality
I really getting the hang with the RPG maker a lot here is a sample that I did with rpg maker itself. No editing.

Sample:
Set to HD for Best quality.
I've been playing so much Pokemon X that I heven't worked on my game in a while... I finished the intro and everything and that alone is about 5 min of gameplay. I really need to be getting to work on my gamepage and also the game itself. DAMN YOU NINTENDO!!!
I wonder if I should bother with this? I have the beginnings of an idea (in the form of a visual novel puzzle RPG). Basically you have to murder a bunch of deserving people for Death.
