Thanks for the fast reply, and I hope you had a good time over here in Japan ( I actually live in Japan ).
I also agree with you that the Status scene followed by the Shop scene are the most crucial to get done, after which I'd say the options menu... although as you say, with plugins involved it can get quite complex. Just knowing you plan to tackle things eventually, and that I may not have to wait all *that* long on the Status screen is wonderful news.
Here’s hoping you can get the Status screen out before the end of February… and the rest out before I start balding! ;)
