Well, I never expected the forums to go offline, much less for as long as they did. That said, work on The Taluka Chronicles has proceeded at about the pace of forum posts over the past few weeks, probably due to lack of motivation (with no community with which to communicate here, and no other location in which the game is being released), and the fact that I was on vacation last week. So, basically, Taluka's been on hold for the moment, and will continue to be, unfortunately, for the next week or two, as I'll be moving in about a week, and my schedule for the week or so is only about half done, and I probably won't get much RPGmaking done until that's sorted out.

In terms of progress, I managed to map about half of Ga-koro's exterior before the details of specifics on where buildings were and how they would relate to a cutscene would work bogged me down (forced mapping really kills a creative flow, as it turns out).

Also, I may as well speak of the other 800-lb gorilla in the room, Piraka Mania. I'm doing some beta testing myself to make sure it gets done, though, once again, I can't quite say when it'll be released.
