Looking forward to finally play this! Hang on

Thanks a mondo lot, Donut brah! Means allot to me that you are so expectant. I only hope I don't fail to make it as fun as you hope it is man. Would hate to agg you out.

Aloha loyal, I hope still, fans. Big Z here wanting to let you know I fixed my aggro inducing problem of having the party's only skills either be tied to your phant or mixed in with it in a...yeargh messy way. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Just added another page!  I'm dumb. Also will be trying to use the picture in battle doohikey to replace changing backgrounds for my boss HP bar and if I can run multiple pictures I just might, just might possibly think about making it for ALL encounters. No scan spell needed. But I am running like fifteen scripts in battle already, two of which are 100% necessary the rest are just me tinkering with stuff like finite bullet amounts for Chasity,  trick arrows and charging skills for Mercer. You know things like that.

...I didn't do alot for the story. I changed the funeral beginning up to make more sense though! Good right? 
I also realized I hate face sets in 2003. I want an alternative so bad! They limit my text to a gnarly short sentence, and my characters are chatterboxes. So suggestions welcome.

Oh finally I want to make my story less linear. Not like choice filled but some and my Arcana City fully explorable and quest filled with stuff. Imma try dat.

Wait...I'm forgetting something.  Damn I don't remember. Oh! I has no photobucket to display pictures. Suggestions please?

Congrats on realizing when you're stuck older Final Fantasy is always the answer  with RPG maker 2003. =P

Hey sometimes you need to take a break and let the game rest so that you can think of what to do next. Or I do anyway as that is how my best stuff is written/programmed usually. Organic periods of rest.  As for face sets your best bet is Portrait scripts or a CMS. No other options really that I know of. ^^;

Well if to go ahead! Just remember open world can present more challenges to your story.

I use Imgur now as it's free but it has no preview for sharing across sites.

Hello, mondo fans! It's me the Big Kahuna Z coming back to say "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses right?" I think I need to overhaul this game again. I was looking at the gnarly original draft story and its just too all over the place and aggro inducing. I wanna try making a new one with fewer characters who and keep only the few who make sense. Hypothetically speaking that would not be so bad right? If you keep supporting me with your mondo ideas and stuff I'll make the game even better. Akaw! If not I accept being designated charade quimby. Tubular and glad you agree, brozillas!

Still here? Radical! So here's what I'm thinking: Imma make Zoltar in the game an amateur paranormal investigator. This just makes so much sense. He's gonna like stumble into Proud Mary and still be a mondo hodad in his family's eyes but not for like bogarting his pop's funeral. Just...no.

Still gonna use an AP system with little unlocking of skills. Tubular am I right? Phantasms still a thing but I'm gonna make a list of categories instead of them just being copes of Personas or stuff.

Alright said my peace now its time for me to skedaddle back to the ether. Peace dudes!

[Fisherson]

Well, it is your game, so you are free to do as you wish. I think it makes more sense to have the character Zolty be a ghost chaser rather than just some funeral wrecking jerk who crashes into an alley that happens to be filled with both ghosts and the main crash/tutorial princess gal.

However keep in mind sometimes the best games sound like mistakes on paper and make no sense. **Guy who literally gas made a discord for a game series with no games and still has fans almost two decades after promising them a series of games**

In fact after playing Deltarune I'm reminded that the best games are all a bit Lewis Caroll x FNAF. Mystery appeals greatly and misdirection is very in on the indie gaming front.

Either way I still want to play so good luck and don't broke what ain't fixed.

[Prpl_Mage]

I support any direction towards the original! Also, you only have one project going on so revamp and put your effort into it to make it as tubular as possible.

W I P E O U T

GONE. all GOne. All my mondo awesome project is vanished. Splitsville broheims and sistersefs.  I literally just got a brainstorm to end all brainstorms when I noticed my folder is gone from my computer. Gnary day is this! But I still have this!

With this I can mondo dondo rebuild!! See? The math for how to make Phants! It just occured to me! I'm like really mondo smart!

[Momeka]

Folders just doesn't disappear. Check your trash bin.

[Fisherson]

What Red said make sure you don't have it moved in some folder before you go full on 'funeral for the project I worked literally years on". It might be misplaced then check all your backup drives and even old links you might have given to people over the years. Almost got lucky that way once and got back my Charas Grande Adventure Game when I found an old link on the page for the demo and one in the comments. Sadly both were dead ends for the game but checking those links has got me most of my resources back! Don't give up yet!!

[Zoltar]

I checked. No sign anywhere on my machine(s)I think I know what happened and its dumb. Just so Mondo dumb. I cleared away some old games and  I thought I deleted the oldest version and saved the new. I went goofy foot and wiped out. Instead of losing the one that is just RTP 2003 and  like mondo early sprites I lost good new folders. Dude if I had the money I would hire an assidtant just so I had somebody to hash out on, but we can't aggro out and blame the wave when we're the real barney right? Right.

So here is what I'm going to do. My board is busted majorly but I'm mellow. I wanted to try rebuilding most if this anyway,not my Aether Point systems but hey it is all good. We will remake it from the ground up. Now I'm going to go catch some waves, hit some tail and tonight my broheims I'll take stock of my junk and see if we can hang eleven! Akaw!

Oh yeah and I'm starting my own Discord for this if you are interested in giving me ideas and support? Akaw!

[Fisherson]

Well I'm glad you're seeing it in a positive. That's the only way you can clear the wreckage. If you made a Discord I would try and come by and give you some chat though I am a mod on a Discord and the DVA Discord is probably going to gear up for re-making Origins and the continuing of my web comic. But I'd try.

[Zoltar]

Okay so some mondo good news! I'm remaking my game slowly. The Wipeout got almost all of my new resources so I'm just taking it ease and remaking my Z-Launch first. After that I'm really seriously considering reducing my party for the first part to just four. Still will make a mondo lot of characters just not for the introduction part, dig? Good! Akaw!

[Fisherson]

Glad you are recovering buddy. Take it easy and you'll have your project back in no time.

[Zoltar]

Hey there mi amigos. So I've been sort of crashing with a friend of mine recently who us the other RPG makers and mase a mondo strong case for moving my project to "better" makers. If I did that you wouldn't be aggro right?
