even though there are games that aren't polished or refined that don't attempt to break away from the rpg-maker style in any way that still have success on the community in spite of this, i myself don't want to play safe and let the project drop too far into the mediocrity typically associated with the engine. even if my hobbyist project never breaks outside the realm of RMN, i would want it to be seen as one of the higher quality games available, and so i work with the intention of making it true.

i continue to work with VX Ace in spite of MV's or generally superior game engines' existence because Ace is what I started this project with, and any sort of engine change would inevitably spell out doom for the project. i have already done enough to make the engine suitable for my game, it will be finished with this game engine.

i have been working on and off on diabolica for years and as i become more mature and competent, i realize that there is potential to release a decent project as my first completed game. as such, i hope that i will receive a lot of harsh feedback as i begin to show more aspects of the game, as i need the views of other people to put the game in the right direction. expect demo testing requests and the like!!
