Realizing that the final assignments that I'm doing are consuming most of my time this week, I've decided to change my idea entirely. I've barely even started on the actual game, needless to say.

I've got some tileset stuff done, the two main characters sprites finished, some artwork done, battle system mostly finished, two maps, three scenes evented and one with all the dialogue written out (story already finished), and I have found four of the five or six tracks I'm going to require for this game.
I'm about to start working on the titlescreen.

My game profile is currently pending. Now back to WORK.

EDIT: Link should work once it's confirmed. http://rpgmaker.net/games/2081/
I'm going to have to quit this one project. My partner/brother ruined everything and I'm not going to start all over. He messed up the face and character sprites, his half of the game is terrible and I'm just not happy with it.

My status: Starting a whole new, smaller game away from the main series plot.....
Uhhh... I guess I can sign up, but I'd prefer to join one instead... :-/
not trying to be THAT GUY but the submit game page is busted. just putting it out there~~

also slash 'n' fern for best team name
There is something wrong with my gamepage... Even though it's been accepted and all that, it's not visable if you search for it and, in fact, it doesn't show up on the list of games. Anyone know what's wrong?

I'm going to drop the idea of making my own entry- please remove me from the list of competitors- but would be glad to help out another team's work. I have gotten inspiration for a game, but don't think the time and material limitations work for me right now, especially as this will be may first game that sees the light of day.

That's too bad, sorry to hear that.
I'm going to have to drop out. Having to replace my real, great idea is too much. Remove me from the list I guess.
I think my game is going to be hard work... :P
BIG problems with scripts, and mapping needs improvements so... yeah.
Better do well in this... =D
Now I need some artists, so I'll ask around and see what can be done. ^_^
I already have a composer... :P

Well, Retro Fatale is finally complete. I'm going to wait until later to officially submit it to the competition, just in case someone notices a blaring flaw that I need to fix.

Spellcheck is mah friend.

Ugh, I'm afraid I'm going to drop out of this myself. I couldn't spend enough time developing a project for this, and even though my finals are over, I really, REALLY want to finish Tina of the Stars... And finish it as soon as possible.

So I'll remove myself, unless I can't.
I really don't want to drop out of this, being that it would be the first second thing I ever dropped out on. If someone is looking for an extra team member for some art or mapping, I might be able to help out, though (PM me with details).
Gameprofile up. I know I haven't said anything, but this took up practically my whole week!
