We are all awaiting good news :P

I'll play it as soon as I finish 1.3 though. But I'll happily watch some vids ^^

Well I'm sorry Sephirot, but at this current point I can't figure out how to put mp3's into this certain format that the game uses. As it stands though, nearly everything is done, now I'm just waiting on Razele to release his ASM hacks. Also in real life things have gone Very topsy-turvy. Over the course of a day my job literally disappears. They were there yesterday when I left but when I got there in the morning there was no one there, the place was empty and I was out of a job.

So while I look into schooling options work on Mercenaries might be hurt a bit, I was given a pretty significant severance pay, but I can't devote most of my time to Mercenaries at this current point. Now is the time to get my life together, a retail job can't last forever or go anywhere for me.

That sounds awful man... (about your IRL job). But as you say, now is the time to get your life together and get a nice job. I'm sure you will find one soon, don't worry. This world-crisis thing is some heavy shit but just hang in there and keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.

About the song not being able to be put into the game I can understand. Don't worry about that for now. Besides you'll release a Demo when you work a little further with the patch, so there's plenty of time to figure out if it is or not possible to add music until the full patch is finished.

I wish you luck!

most likely but its a patch so you need the original game which probably needs to be found on ebay

Oh, it's definitely free! If I had even threatened to say I would put a price on it, Square Enix would descend from above high and strike me, and probably the site down, so yes, 100% Free.

So how are things coming along? From Arch's videos, it looks highly playable, though it's probably some of the events and the sprites that need the work, I assume.

Sprites and Events, and a lot of testing, it is almost fully playable and the next release is planned to be a Training Demo, which I have been talking about for months now.

Cool. This is really starting to shape up now. If you need any help testing, I got plenty of free time to spare.

Yeah I don't think finding people to test it will be a problem for you LD. We are all ready to undertake that great burden for you.

just use one of the un-used songs, those are already in the format you desire

Zozma told me some of them fit a world map / formation screen music very well

 little wing.. something?

Yes, the song he spoke of was Little Wing, which truth be told, I'm not sure what song that is, hehe... though that's a bit of an upbeat song... I'll see if I can't find something more fitting to the tone.

@Arch: We already knew we could use those un-used songs from vanilla. We wanted to make / insert new music though.. but IIRC you've already read that topic we made about it... and unfortunately it seems there's no way for now T_T

Oh well... at least the project IS getting different music.
