Okay, I have to say, I'm not asking to help program the game. I do know some ASM (read: 65c816 assembly), but considering some of the computer nerds around here, if I tried to do anything like that, I would probably get laughed out of the forum in leetspeak.

But I would like to ask a few things about the code. I don't know which of them we have any idea on yet, though, so please bear with me.

1) I'm assuming this is a homebrew ROM, right? If so, how big will it be? 4 MB? 8 MB?
2) In what language will it be coded? ASM (assembly)? C++?
3) What will we use for the music engine? SPC-700 is the only one I know by name, but there are obviously others out there. Which would suit this best?
4) What console (that includes emulators) is this game for? SNES? PC?
5) If it's a SNES game, are we using any enhancement chips, such as DSP-1, CX4, SA-1, SuperFX/GSU, etc.?

I'll answer whynot

1) no, it's a PC game
2) C++. I don't know if other languages will be included or not
3) Sukasa is currently using dshlib for audio output (a little library I made). Currently it only plays back ogg files, but it can be expanded if needed (but oggs alone should be fine)
4) PC, hopefully cross platform. I've been pushing to use crossplatform libs for everything to make it as portable as possible
5) n/a

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
