Awesome.  Good luck on it.

Btw this is real-time action, right? I am asking since the energy is displayed on the overworld when you walk around and due to the game speed.

You could probably use Celtic III or DCS as they have xLIB compatibility. You would probably just need to change a few things. However, If the game is massive and you got a 83+ I wouldn't recommend DCS for memory reasons.

Also it has better compatibility with xLIB stuff. The only problem I notice is when using the Horiz command, so text dissapears from Reuben Quest Ev Awakening start menu.

I dig.

Nice so far

*progress bump*
Graphical map is finished. Map is a total of 49 rooms

Tile count (sprites and objects): 7 old, 51 new
Free space: 11 tiles

Note: some tiles are similar to tiles from the first game but aren't exact replicas. I count them as new (only exact replicas are old). This count does not include tile 0 (empty tile representing walkable land), the event tile (can't be old or new because it's essential), and the invisible tile (empty tile you can't walk on, used only if I need to enforce invisible barriers for some reason)

All that's left is actually coding the map, events, and dialogue. This is going to be very tedious because there are some pretty extensive cut-scenes. X_x;

Since it's pretty tedious, I'm probably going to alternate each day between coding the game and working on some bonus goodies.

For those not in the know, I'm planning on releasing Yumé and Yumé 2 simultaneously along with downloadable bonus goodies that include:
 1) a double-feature game guide that covers both games and goes in depth into the ideology of the Yumé series and reveals interesting information I've never posted about. It's spoileriffic!
 2) Monochromatic and special edition color versions of the Dream World maps from both games.
 3) Bonus artwork (no spoilers there )
 4) Bonus wallpapers

Why am I including bonus goodies? Because I can!

Depends on two things:
 1) When will Kerm okay releasing Yumé?
 2) Will I have the time to get all the events and maps coded and tested between now and then?
Optimally, yes, I could release both on September 16th.

And yes, there will be lots of exploration in Rika's Story. The Dream World is a LOT more open in the second game.
