It is both with a heavy heart and with hope for the future that I close the book on this chapter of Sagawind. As of today, I'm officially concluding production on the RPG Maker 2003 version of the game. You can find a download of everything I've done in RM2k3 with the game. Feel free to poke around in the editor, try it out, all sorts of things. There's about an hour and a half of gameplay from intro to how far I got, so there's certainly a small amount to do. But it's all I'm going to be doing with that version of the game.
I will, however, be porting the game into RPG Maker VX Ace, which this project page will reflect. Screenshots will start appearing as soon as I'm done with all the base work on the game.
I ended up getting gifted a legit copy of VXA, so that along with the ease that many of the systems I wish I could have implemented in 2k3 are able to be used in VXA, I felt it best to move on and use the most recent maker legally available to me. Feels kinda strange, really. Like a small part of me is going away. But I'm sure it's all for the best in the long run.
I'm glad for everyone's support and I hope that I can finally deliver with this new avenue in which to channel this universe that's been trapped in my head for the past 10 years.
So, you took our advice. Hopefully, this time round we won't have to wait a whole other 10 years! :D Time to move on and progress. It's better to have love and lost, than never to have loved at all ...
