I never played the original so I had to go check out some videos to see what it used to look like. WOW this is a huge upgrade. Very nice work. Excited to try this out!
Thanks! The game gets a bad rep because it was released in the US in the late 80s after many much more elaborate JRPGs had already become popular here. It's also very non-intuitive and quirky in a way that makes more sense when you contextualize it as a very, very early Japanese computer game (it was originally released in 1984!). I figure a nice polish and coat of paint might go a long way to making the game more enjoyable.
Thanks! I've hacked this game before, many times, but wanted to develop something that enhanced the actual game, rather than trying to turn it into something else entirely.
