That's typical, real life can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but you must take it seriously, even if you dislike it, I'm quite impatient for Prism because the last beta ended too soon, and things were getting really good, this is opposed to me waiting patiently for the english version of SoulSilver, which will occupy my soul until the new Prism Beta comes out, and I will also put my own hack on hold, which was in fact inspired by yours, but I am not copying off of it or anything, but it will have the prism-feeling to it.......
I am pretty good at spriting and making map tiles in the GSC style (though importing them to the rom is quite tricky for me currently), as I am learning how to hack Gold from playing your hack and various hacks from Skeetendo.net, though everyone seems to want to hack FireRed and not the 8-bit glory that is Pokemon Gold
In general, I think your hack is better than any other hack I have played, even better than the Chrono Trigger hack Crimson Echoes, or even Pokemon Quartz for that matter (I just had to laugh when I heard an NPC in Spurge Mall talk about her child crying over the coarse swearing in Quartz about the time he played it when it was pirated by guys from Malysia, as well as wondering who "Frigo" is)
Well, I gotta go, cya later, gotta go get SoulSilver in english!!
