I saw the commit log on cia.navi.cx (is that the geekiest way of finding a game or what?)

Actually that sounds fairly promising for building on OSX as well, since it's at least closely related to FreeBSD, and I was running into guichan issues. I would definitely be interested in those updated build instructions.

Catfish_Man: You're basically describing the Mako energy -> Materia conversion in FF7, aren't you? :) The idea would fit in nicely, since in FF7 the sucking of the energy is unbalancing the world and it's threatening to suck the planet dry too. (We do have that idea about parties trying to shift th...
