:D Wow!

It all sounds so... brilliant!

I'm still hoping for that Zio game..

I'll let you know if that guy ever gets back to me about the PSIV editor... his progress on his current project have slowed to a crawl. Maybe Zio needs to return a la La Shiec in a sequel...

I must say, in preliminary thinking that making a game from scratch is going to take a lot longer than any hack would. All those maps... The challenge sounds like a lot of fun though! I'm going to have to start going over the "canon" of the PS series so I don't violate anything to heinously in my own creation!

It's a good idea :3

Yes, yes. I recall that happening in several things. Good luck!

Good luck; it's really hard to figure out what is canon in some cases. There are so many conflicting sources on some things.

I know. I'll try and adhere to the English releases as they are, and nothing more. That's at least a definite starting point, even if there are some inconsistencies. For the majority of the information, I'm going to rely on what PSIV tells us.

Yes, good good.. I can't stand Lassic..

Well, my house guests have departed now, so I'll embark on the PSII hack, possibly as early as tomorrow! (I'm going to give that PSIII sprite hacking one last go here before I start.) I can't wait to begin the PS sequel project, and it'll be hard to keep myself focused for the PSII hack, but it will be done... and it will be done well! I think I've got a workable premise for the sequel, but it'll need a lot of work.

Anyway, I'll keep you all posted on my progress on the PSII hack in the topic I started for it.

Looking forward to hear about it's progress!

As for the story of the sequel PS, would you consider perhaps discussing your ideas with us?

Perhaps .. Thoul could create some kind of members only section for it, so as a guest can't steal the work, or something..

I don't know, I just think .. the story would be one of the hardest parts.. We might have some good ideas, or perhaps just generally help you. Just a thought.

I'll certainly think about it. The story will probably be the easiest part for me . I have a policy of not discussing my material before release because it concretizes it, (makes it exist in the world, not just my mind) and gives one the reaction that the material now exists and therefore undermines the motivation to actually write it. However, I'm definitely open to suggestions that I judge to be good, i.e. on a cooperative standard that agrees with my premise. Just know that I may totally reject them! There's nothing worse than a collective effort when the ideas conflict.

I'll have to spend some more time considering the plotline before I reveal it here because it's in its' infancy, and may have a drastic change since I'm brainstorming PSII right now. When I do reveal it, it'd be best to discuss it in another topic with a spoiler tag in the title, so that people that don't want the plot twists revealed won't stumble upon them.

Sure, I could do that. I know how important it is to keep ideas private before their finished form is ready for display.

Oy, isn't that the truth! I've had more than one project sunk by that.
