Yeah, I have been working on my own project for a while now.
I got the code working for the CoC2 port (on top of writing an extension) when I realized it was just wasted effort: I couldn't bring myself to port the content I couldn't stomach. On top of that, the COC2 modding scene is quite limited. I think there are four, five folks that are working on adding new content, and on top that, the game engine is a mess to modify.
From there, I realized that working on a new project, even with my limited coding skills, would probably be more constructive than trying to mod COC.
"A great story can save an otherwise mediocre RPG, but a mediocre story can ruin even great RPGs."
CoC2 gameplay is a mess, its story aspect is not faring any better.
