I'm going to go ahead and mark this as back in production, based on the effort I've put into the project this past week. SU is at a point where it's slowly coming closer and closer to completion, and I just want to update you on what I'd like to do before I call this complete.

Story flow and dialogue for the first few chapters need an overhaul. Most of this is actually already done, but this is to address the plot fragmentation that sort of occurred as a result of me not having a clear plot direction early on in the development process years ago. The story should feel consistent, and the dialogue should be more interesting. I love my characters to death but I don't think it drives the plot well enough at times.

Custom battle systems are a big waste of time. If I get around to it I'll implement one after the game is complete, but for now I am going to need to implement a modified default battle system. I'm going to keep the details vague until they're solidified but my goal is to simplify and unify the skill systems in a way that makes battles a little less monotonous. As usual I will push RPG Maker to do some interesting and new things, but I don't want to burn myself out on this one.

The remainder of the game needs to be complete. This one's obvious but it's worth noting how close the actual game is to being complete. At this point chapter eight is mostly mapped and the scripts are in-progress. There will be nine total chapters.

I'm also way behind on releases. My last release was back in September 2010 I believe, so I may have to re-release all of the chapters again to get proper feedback. Please, hold back on the groaning and thanks for sticking with this!
