OK~
I'm downloading the 30 day trial for VX right now (it apparently has full functionality and I certainly won't need more than 30 days to do this so should be enough)
I've used previous versions of RPGmaker in the past so I have a vague idea of how some things are organized but... that leaves a lot of stuff I don't know about so I'm sure I'll be needing your help at some point in the process
