Hello! Nice to meet you all. I has been watching this forum a while and I think our project fits here.
We (few people from q-gears forum) working on pseudo-3d engine that was used in PSX One square games like Final Fantasy VII-IX, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve (evex Xenogears use very similar engine). This games consists from 3 global modules: Field, World Map and Battle. The first task is create engine with all FFVII posibilities.
Right now only Field Module exist. I'm working hard to make it finished this summer.
Right q-gears it works with native FFVII format and with XML format, so even now it's posible to create your own content. Sadly there is no editor at this time, but I hope when field module will be complete the editor will be complete too.
Here some screenshots:

I came across this at random last year when I was trying to get FFVII to work on my PC. This project is fantastic! The technical document you people have put together is really wonderful - I had a link to it on my site for a while, but I sorta thought the project was dead...

No, it's not dead. Simply there are only two programmers on project (was only one till the last month) and it's not so quick to make new noticable update. It's already 1,5 month from 0.11 version and we still not finished planned amount of work to version 0.12. There are not that much task left: fix video bug (crush on large opening movie) and rework talking system (it must depends on direction of PC). this takes week... maybe two. =)

C++, mostly. I never did get around to learning OpenGL or 3D maths, or any of that stuff, but I'll definitely be able to help with some of the softer stuff like the menu systems/textbox engine/that sorta thing.
You'll be able to see some of my work in five days time :)
For the moment, here's a few screenshots of the 2D RPG engine I've been making for the last three years:
Oh, I also have webhosting, if you need that, heh. Feel free to send me a PM.

Good. There are a lot of task that needs to be completed (priority from top to bottom):
- Game specific things like materia/item/weapon adding/removing. Party, stats and all that stuff. Saving.
- Editor.
- Game gui and a lot of menu.
- Battle module.
- World map module.
The first task I handle myself very soon? because I need this thing to add Party Opcode in field scripts.
You could contact me by ICQ (17-55-22-907).
