I purchased RPG Maker VX Ace a while back, and looking at the upgrades in software content as well as loading speeds and such, it just seems like a good (though tedious) idea to start Goin' Grella from scratch in this new software.
This means that the slow progress of the game will now actually be stopped completely. But the current beta test won't be removed, it'll just be replaced when enough of the new version is made for a beta test to be viable.
So hopefully Onward and Upwards!
