27.7.2002: Yay! My site has got an awesome award!!! I'll tell you more about it next time.

Well... It seems that RM2003 will be released in Japan in the end of 2002. But I have to sorry. I won't translate. You know it's not so hard to translate. So may be you'll get this game in English directly from EB or... someone will translate it sooner or later.
I'M PRETTY SURE! And I'm pretty sorry.

ASK ASCII TO MAKE THE ENGLISH VERSION OF RPG MAKER 2003 FOR YOU. They've got only ~5000 registered users of RM2k in Japan. It's so small number. It may be increased with your help.

Guys! I just have met Cyber-Pasha today. (He's a real prototype one of main heroes of my RPG: Niggaz VS Satan) He gave me a lost volume N7 of Guruguru manga (which he had bought in Japan) and a great live video interview on the CD.
