I'm doing a major overhaul of a CMS I finished nearly 4 years ago, some of it visual but most of it is system-related. I'm changing the way alot of things work, such as how faces are drawn, how the character sprites are drawn, how the windows move in-and-out of the scene, how it deals with multislots, how all the information for the bestiary and battle log work, the save menu, etc...
Visually, there is going to be a big change; the player will be able to select between classic "Windows" style and the modern "Graphics" style (picture any modern Final Fantasy after 9, or a MogHunter menu... yeah, that's what I plan on going for.) Another thing the player will be able to select is face-sets or animated characters for the menu (which means further draw_ stuff adjusting @_@) Those are the long term goals, which is why I have to get all this systematic BS re-standardized. In the end, if I go with animated battlers, perhaps the idle, critical or dead pose will be animated. It all depends on how far I want to push it I guess.
Oh yeah, composing again! This isn't finished, but here is a sample of my Ozzy - Over the Mountain cover. I've cut this track down to its basic meat and potatoes (the part leading up to the solo and the solo) so you don't have to sit through and listen to the first two verses of the song. I've only got the last portion of the song to finish and it should be a proper cover.
