Ok first of all, yes I'm letting everyone know that I gave up on my other project.. But I'm not giving up on making the game altogether.. In fact, I'm in the process of making Phantasy Star III using rpgmaker. Yes I know, there have been a few shallow attempts at this game but I want everyone to know that I'm putting my full focus on this project..
Basically the game is going to be similar to the original Genesis version, except there will be quite a bit more story, sidequests, and the game will be more indepth then the original. So far I've got the story worked out, as well as the battle system (Thanks Lyla).. Only thing I need left is the menu, I'm debating on using Mogs menu or not, only cause the battle system has quite a few problems with my 5 party member menu.
No artwork for the project yet, as I'm working on spriting characters and battlers, but I will be attempting to draw the characters when I get some free time, otherwise I may have to petition someone to do the artwork for me lol..
There will be more story with Rhys and Maia, as well as Rhys and Lena.. Giving insight onto why Lena follows Rhys in his journey, as well as certain points before the game where Rhys and Maia spend their days together. Included in my post is a small screenshot of something that will be put in the game..
