General Update, Notes, and Looking for a Tester

03/26/18
It’s been a while, so I’ve went ahead and added the mapping demo to the Aurora Magica page as a download here as well.

Progress
Back-ported the changes from the demo back into the game development tree.
Updated maps, scripts, and a general round of “cleaning” or “polish” to the existing parts.

Beta/Alpha
I’m not sure of the policy here on RMN for making pre-release versions available; although, I do see that there is a “testers only” choice on the download settings page. Unfortunately, real life does intervene, so it may be a little while before I can check the rules/conditions/etc to make a public beta happen. If someone would like to have access to some kind of early access version, just send a PM. Also, keep in mind, I am a scrub on RMN. I've got a lot to learn about the tools available, and what is considered good form.

Notes
I picked up a copy of GENE for MV. I noticed a very interesting feature, in that one can save a "scene" generated as a template in a .json format. The reason this is interesting is that it looks like it would allow for some community driven content to be developed with relative ease. By the same token, it could be a copyright nightmare if it's misused. I'm likely not going to use it very much in this project as the "scenes" in AM are more sprite-driven, but the tool itself seems to be pretty solid.
