Sorry for the double post, but hey, it's important. Ish.
So I found the graph link. *much rejoicing* Which means, in theory, I can work on SO some more.
But what else does it mean, you ask? Simple. I can show that I'm not a lazy bastard, and effing release stuff, like I said I would long long ago.

Wow... Anyways, little bit of info...
I've decided to make this my last attempt at this game. If for some reason I'm unable to finish it this time, due to any reason at all, I'm just going to release it, as is, along with everything related to it, including past versions, and everything. So at least there will be some work out there... And hey, maybe then someone else could get bored and finish it in whatever way they choose. Who knows.
Let's just hope it doesn't come down to that.
So yeah. Here ya go:

If anyone knows of any better place to upload files or anything, do tell.
Oh, a few notes about that little thing:
First off, some of the programs? Psh, I can't even remember what they were for. I do know that you can archive/delete EBATTLE (only started it, I think it just draws the basic screen), ERMBLD2 (I believe I was testing an alternate room building method), and EROOMSB (I believe I was testing an alternate room storing method). Basically, to run it, start program ERMCHSE, give 1 for the room, and 4 for both the starting coordinates. That puts you in the middle of the starting room.
Controls:
Direction buttons move, 2nd examines and continues text when the cursor is showing, and Mode while text is going cancels the text output, letting you press 2nd to continue it along.
The pictures: Some are just little test things, one has battle graphics, one has a single player sprite, and one is a mock-up of a Tales of the World-type encyclopedia screen. Feel free to delete those. Pics 2, 3, 7, and 9 are required, though. So keep those. Otherwise it'll DIE.
Yeah, that's basically it. I should probably post something about this up in the news on the front page, so that more people know that I'm not entirely dead, but keep in mind that this little thing is really more of a tech demo than anything.
Oh, and I should probably add that you'll need OmniCalc 1.25 for this.
Oh... I can't wait to try out xLIB...
