Hey Kamau/Matt,
Super excited to have found this. I was on an RPG maker kick recently and these were some of my favorite games and inspired a lot of my early efforts to get involved with the tools. I remember painstakingly trying to create battle animations that resembled the LS3 sprite-based animations and that was largely in part due to how cool it was, haha. Glad to see you kept on making games. Cheers!
