Bad news first. This weekend I had to reformat my computer for various reasons I won't mention. So now I have less programs, less drivers, less everything, but my computer now runs more quickly.

Aside from that, PY and any other Vista users would know about Windows' "experience rating," which can basically determine how capable your computer is.

Before formatting, mine was 3.0, pretty simple, but can run most programs and larger games.

After formatting, 1.0. I lost the video drivers and I can't seem to find them. Perhaps a new video card would be useful anyway. But seriously, where the hell did those two rating units go?

On other news, I've pushed Lixies Arena aside for the time being. The reason is because I could get no help with an idiotic sending/reception error. <_<

So now, being in more of a novel-writing mood, I've been working on my epic, Legend of the Dark Moon. So far, here's the list of what I have.

Previously Added

-Health system

-Pause system and menus

-Basic battle engine

-RPG level, skill, and techniques engine

-User registration

-User login/logout

-Saved data in external files

Recently Added

-Questing system

-Remodeling the town

-Added a half of a dungeon

-Added an inventory system complete with 50-90 item slots and 15 equipment slots

-Redid battle engine to be more realistic

Here's one this I can't do: sprite. I don't have the time or patience to worry about graphics, so I've stooped as low as to use RM2K3 graphics temporarily.

If anyone is interested in helping me sprite, I would really appreciate it. So leave me a note.

Also, this game uses a good amount of voice acting, so if anyone thinks they'd like to do that, they can.

Characters currently used

-Zack, the story's protagonist

-The town's mayor

-Michael, a kid

-Bran, the weapons instructor

-Khaos, the story's antagonist.

So throw me a line if you want to pitch in.

Anyway, I have to be off now, so long time no see and all. Later.
