It's simply an issue of time. The last time I used AGS was years ago, and when I tried to do it myself for this project, I discovered I'd have to go through a new learning curve to get myself up to date. That would be fine, except I'm currently in the process of starting my own business (which is fixing computers and copyediting) in the hopes that I can quit my job and do that instead. Hence the lack of time-- all that running around setting up leaves me little time to re-learn AGS to make my game (or even enough attentiveness to notice I got a reply here, oops!). Still, the art is relatively fresh, I don't want to lose momentum if at all possible.
