As many of you know, the forum for the AGN Chronicles has been put down after a long age of hiatus and no-activity.
Basically, the project is dead.
NOT CANNED. JUST DEAD.
I am still willing to work on the script, but I have a rather busy schedule this summer. I have not heard from the others in ages pertaining to the game, with the exception of Rijun.
However, I have decided to let a few things loose...
First of all, the 'private' forum for the AGN Chronicles...
http://pub83.ezboard.com/fthecespoolezboardfrm4
Next, the 'private' (redesigned) AGN Chronicles site...
http://thecespool.tripod.com/agncp/
Now for my idea...
I have, for a long time, been a fan of the Game Creation System called Megazeux.
http://www.digitalmzx.net
There are many limitations to this game creation system compared to something like...oh say...RPG2k...
1. Charactor only games (though you can edit the charactor set)
2. Since it runs under DOS, people with Windows XP/2000 might have trouble getting it to run with sound.
3. You need EMS memory to run it, and not everyone knows how to add an EMM386.EXE RAM file to their autoexec.bat file.
4. You need to custom code it for an RPG style...
Howeve,r there are several advantages..
1. I am a lot more familiar with this than with RPG2k, and can integrate the script into it a bit better.
2. Robotic is relatively simple to learn, yet is so powerful it's not even funny.
3. 'Good' games take much less time to make.
4. Charactor baised games have their own charm...

Honor Quest : Special Edition
5. Newer versions add features like mouse support and tons of 'counters' (numeric variables)
6. You can integrate many game types into one game, possibly executing/implimenting the mini-game's that I had in mind...
So I'll leave it for you guys to decide...
