Ack! Mimi-chan, you changed your name! Ah well, it's cute.

Anyway, I thought I'd update about the status of the game as I know it. Obviously the loss of everything on Danny's harddrive was a significant set back, but that doesn't mean that we're giving up on this game!! So, this is what's going on right now:

I am currently remapping all of Tokyo and am trying to make it look as PGSM-ish as I can. The buildings are still being based off those in Another Story but are in the process of being edited (heavily) to look... well, prettier. I'm working on this almost around the clock and expect to have the bulk of it done in the next week or so. The interiors of the buildings will probably take an additional week to finish up. So far the new Tokyo features: All the inner senshi's homes, Juuban Middle School, the hospital, Crown Karaoke, an arcade, the train station, the basket ball park featured in episode 6 (complete with graffiti and all), a department store, bakery, post office, cafe, library, and cd store, just to list a "few". This part of the project is key right now, as Danny can't do much else without the map. Once this is finished, she'll be able to move on with the game again.

Other things I've been working on recently include spriting better portraits, reworking henshin sequences to be more accurate to the series, and spriting of items and accessories that may be featured in the game. (I usually work on this stuff when I'm tired of looking at the buildings in Tokyo).

So, in conclusion of this post, I leave you with some mock screenshots I've made of my progress. Enjoy!


The CD store


Usagi's house (the rest of the neighborhood is still unedited)


The arcade in progress

Everything looks stellar, as your work always is.

And that portrait is just...WOW!

Aw, you noticed, cool!

And awesome portrait sprite!

It looks wonderful.

Sorry I've been gone for a while. It may be hard to believe that I had a job that gave me virtually no off time, but that's how it was at the summer camp I was working at. Regardless, I'm back now (as of this morning), and am already jumping back into spriting at full force. I'm still very passionate about this game and intend to work on it as much as I can with the hopes of it being playable someday.

The updates for this post are minor, but I thought I'd show some of the progress that has been made since last time:

I know the Juuban tower isn't in PGSM, but I like it very much as a SM landmark and decided to include it.


Outside of Hikawa Jinja.


Update of Usagi's house (compare with the picture in a previous post).


Venus' items. While the mechanics of item use aren't totally figured out yet, I've been working on spriting somethings that will probably be used.

Look for more updates in the comming weeks!!

Welcome back! And The updates looks amazing! <3

Your buildings look beautiful!

Thanks Circe and Sawaii!

And Sawaii, I've also started working on what you requested (again). Sorry it's taken so long.... ;A;

No worries~ ^^

Are you the one who is in charge of the whole game now, Sailor-Amaya? Since it looks like papillonrose is no longer around, it would be a pity if all your sprites and work were wasted. Are you in touch with her?

We've been in touch occasionally. The last I heard from her was about a week ago, and she's been waiting for me to finish up some work for her. I'm hoping to get it to her soon and then see where this goes from there.

And yes, it would be sad if I did all this work and the game doesn't get finished. While I've kept it in the back of my head that this may not work out in the end, I do really enjoy the spriting I'm doing, and would, in the event that this game dies, would be very happy to donate my work to the repository for others to possibly use.

We're at a really slow pace right now and my being gone for almost two months definately didn't help. Still, I'm willing to stick to this for a bit longer and see what Danny wants to do from here.

I just noticed the great detail in the poster for Minako's "Venus" album. Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous of your ability! I can only sprite characters.

Ha ha, thanks. I've been trying to expand to working on things/places as well as characters and so far I'm doing quite well with it (of course it always helps to have something to reference like the actual "Venus" poster)...

But I think these things (even the small ones) help with the game and make it feel more PGSMish.

I'm glad you noticed!

yeah. Amaya and I keep in contact. The game is moving slowly as everything is getting put together. >w< I am still here xD

I just usually just chat through emails now. And I'll occassionally come on here. owo/

I'm expecting to get a full working act1 + Intermission 1.. and possibly acts 2 and intermission 2 included in a demo. But I won't promise anything. This games been here a while.

Any progress, Sailor-Amaya, papillonrose?

is this another dead project ? or are you still working on this ?

Amaya and I haven't heard from Danny in months, possibly a year+ at this point. She doesn't sign onto MSN and apparently has not been answering emails. Unfortunately, she was the main programmer in this endeavor. :S So, painful as it is, I'm unsure if PGSM R will become a full game.

good tthing im making a sailor moon game And its coming along very nice.

Do you still have MSN ? lol.. It's been really really long, but I've been slowly rebuilding and redoing things for the game.




I'm getting my butt in gear and contacting amaya and Daio for other updates.
At the moment graphics and engine are being overhauled.
Screenshot for a teaser!

Glad to see it's not abandoned.
:~)

@moonblossom
Wow, good to see you still here!



Pardon our dust while we update everything !

Wow! Good to know it's not abandoned Good luck with it, and I love new screenshots.

I really like the little senshi sprites Very very PrettyGuardianSailorMoon-like very cute!!


How's the game process? A lot of works to do or you're at a good point?? :)
Good luck anyway :)

Nothing is being promised anytime soon.

I have a lot of things to redo/sprite and implement into this new build of the game.

I hope you all can still have some love for PGSM R. because things are really shaping up.
Above is the title screen! It's animated to allow usagi's hair to flow.
You can expect really great things from this revamp of the acts.
I've been keeping in touch with Daio and Amaya really closely and have finished programming act 0!
I hope you all still look forward to this !

Ohh, I'm waiting forward to it!

It's been a long time since we had a finished Sailor Moon fan game here, and there are precious few people who actually draw new sprites. So I really hope that you'll get your crew together and resume working on your project!

I love your care for details Keep up the good job!!!

Looks very nice! Can't wait to see the final product.

Thank you guys ! I really hope you will enjoy the new revision !



We've been working on battlers now! So no more small Sailor moon another story battlers!
