As someone who has dabbled in game dev, especially in RPG Maker, this is actually a good breakdown of how you plan to go about things :o
I mainly came to see what the last post was for, because I was mostly curious if the game was just dead... but I will hope that mention of getting the animations going for the updated busts and whatnot is just taking a while. Will check back later to see if this game gets an update before giving it a try, because I don't want to run the risk of starting it up and then it updates shortly after and the overhaul of things means I need to start over anyway lol.
