I really can't wait for this to be done! What program did your co-workers use to create the sprites? Could you give me a "sprite-making in a nutshell" sorta thing? It looks really interesting! As a programmer, integrating more art would be cool.
By the way, why aren't you actually coding the game? I mean, RPG Maker is sweet, but the game could be better enjoyed if actually written in code like a C language or VB. Your thoughts?
Thanks,
