An Official *English* Version of 2k3 Approaches!
author=KingArthur
Both RM2K and RM2K3, as well as all their games, perform absolutely flawlessly on Windows 7 as far as I know. If you have any problems there it's most likely something on your end.
Well, I have one of thouse Emachine E525 laptops, and well, yeah. It might just be that. No idea who builds a laptop this unbalanced. So, my hardware could be jerking it around a little bit.
An Official *English* Version of 2k3 Approaches!
author=Yellow Magicauthor=facesforceI can't understand where all the money in this is involved, honestly? The engine already exists and is simply in need of localisation (which, as we already know, can be accomplished through the efforts of a single person). I think the profit margin would be pretty decent if this were to go ahead; Enterbrain have more to gain then lose here.
Will I sign this petition however? Of course not. It may be a free market, but like all things: Money wasted on a ten year old program is wasted when it could be working on future RM projects. Enough said.
My friend, this world runs on money. My job runs on money, as well yours. So, let's say they do hire a man to do the job, change the wording and fix any programing flaws with RM2k3(The problems mentioned above).
They have to pay the man and then hope they can sell a copy. In my experience, people are not just willing to spend hours programming and fixing mistakes in software, as well as translating things, all just by being asked.
What I am saying is simple: The damage has been done to the point of no-return. Its basically like asking Nintendo to re-release the nes for collectors after the patent has expired. Okay, maybe not that extreme, but I still don't see how they have more to gain over focusing efforts on a software that requires to be a little modernized (Rm2k3 games, plus the engine itself does not have perfect compatibility on Win 7 for god's sake. I get strange errors all the time!)
Basically, I rather them re-write the engine from scratch and make it more fluid with the old graphics system, then for them to spend money on localizing something that everyone has already pirated for the last 10 years or so.

How fucking insane wonderful the House of Senile Old Men Representatives are not.
I am so gladangry on how they fuck represent the social elite and other "professional" companies majority of world citizens!
More like do whatever the hell they like with people because they reign like vampires refusing to leave office! Ever read Darkside Blues? Yeah, this was the first steps towards that Persona Century.
Is censorship not so grand?
I am so glad

So, I have a stalker and person sending me death threats in real life! Lovely. Well, the last letter I found stapled on my apartment door, so I am seriously considering to see how effective the united states police really are to get rid of obsessive women.
...It kind of helps that I have her name, address and phone number as well, all without dating her or stalking her. Seriously, what type of woman tells me all that just because I change her flat tire on the side of the road? Glad she forced that card on me now though, I can get rid of her once and for all.
God I hate Tennessee.

The overlap between people who care about RM2K3 and people who care about legality of their games is probably pretty close to 0%.
The ability to use the RTP resources in VX Ace would be nice for some people. But you can already do that with a Japanese RM2K3 license.
I am one of these people. Don Miguel originally brought us Rm2k and it was clearly not legal, but no one cared. It was one of the first times many people ever had acess to something that just carved a way. Hell, I hate to point this out but it is a very simple thing: Japanese Copyright laws are a joke. Hell, companies can't really shut down doujin circles, nor can you walk down a street in tokyo that does not have a manga for sale that most likely blantly rips off anouther series.
Many of the samller indie companies on the streets sell mirror games to big name titles, just with small edits or character replacement. (Puyo Pop anyone? Any Bullet Hell game from Cave, or Touhou?). I mean, there is literally not much precedent, or care that these companies care for older products, and RM2k, and its equal program RM2k3 are easily 12 to ten years old respectively. Besides that, Miguel's pirated translation has been out so long and has become so common that anyone could just use google to find it. The damage is done, and would it really be worthwhile to charge so many people, and a third of RMN's userbase with using a pirated tool, when it is near to impossible to buy a japanese Rpg maker Tsukuru 2003 (Note I said "near". If you own a physical, legit copy, all the more power to you!) I just don't see it as a worthwhile investment, for a company. However Enterbrain only seems to want to serve the fans, so if you do this petition and it gets a legit American version, all the much power to you. Just remember how many games, how many classics will be deemed illegal at that point, and probably incompatible with any possible upgrades to the software (I'm looking at you, Postality Knights XP!)
Now, with that said will I buy it if it becomes legal? Of course I would. I have bought every rpg maker program legit with the exception of Rpg Tsukuru 2000, Rpg Tsukuru 2003 and Rpg Sim Maker. I own the japanese copy of 95 even. If they did a limited "physical" release, I would buy it and be happy with it.
Will I sign this petition however? Of course not. It may be a free market, but like all things: Money wasted on a ten year old program is wasted when it could be working on future RM projects. Enough said.
The anagram game!
So, for Facesforce I get my new superhero identity as...

I'm thinking of writing another western short story. I finished one several years ago, and had one I was posting on GW in episodic format for a while until I wrote myself into one hell of a corner.
I'm probably going to post the old finished one in creativity in the hopes of getting some fresh eyes on it, and to see how well it holds up a decade after being written.
Oh, I remember that one. Yeah, repost it. Be nice to read that again. :)
Does This Sound Too Ambitious?
Well... XD It may be too ambitious. I would drop the custom graphics and focus on game-play. Just a heads up.
After all, it seems you want to focus more on the multiple choices, so get "working" graphics for the time being and replace them with what you want after they are done. It is a simple formula, and you'll get a lot more done. Fix the graphical style retro-actively. This is the indie scene, not pro, so no need to come up with graphics to sell the game. Get that system up, and then worry about the custom style.
