For what it's worth, a proper update on things is that I've ported the game to MV. That required me to find and replace all the custom scripts I had in VX Ace. I've done 90% of that, but still need to finalize the achievements and status menus, and I will need to get the battle system working--which I still plan to hire out.
It also required fixing artwork and tilesets so they looked good in resolutions higher than 640x480. Given that the primary tilesets I was using are not even licensed to be used in MV, I ultimately had to redo the maps. I believe they look better for it, but it was time consuming. I probably care more about how maps look than I should, but I believe a quality map compliments the experience.
All the artwork, including standing portraits have been manually upscaled or redrawn. Aylia's facial features have been fixed (primarily her eyes) in most artwork for consistency. I had been doing a lot of experimenting back when I first created this, so artwork varied. Now, it should be fairly consistent in quality throughout.
All the work on MV has been since the conversion really started last August/September (with some significant breaks in there). That's still far too slow to be effective, but progress is picking up. I'm really hoping that once the UI and system components are done, that the mapping/artwork/writing portions can be done in a much more reasonable timeframe.
I plan to release the first real MV release publicly, so I'll post it here and if Oiz wants to update the first page, he can. Hope that clarifies things for people who are interested. It was a lot of work to convert things over, but as I play a game like Princess of Zeven (which seems like a really good game), I surely do not miss the 640x480 VX Ace system and tilesets. Thanks!
