Scratch

Hello!
Now I know hardly anyone actually READS Show and Tell posts, but I look at other people's!
Alright.
So I have a project Snakehead Island RPG found at http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dunvegan5/1644279 and there is a Chinese Version, too.
Now this has some major downsides.
1. GRAPHICS
     They stink. Really bad. Like seriously bad.
2. User interface
     Hardly any in game directions, not very good reminders, hardly any reference to remember where in the game you are, bad screen layout
3. Unprofessional
     It just looks unprofessional
4. Storyline
    Little character development, not very long, boring, cliche

SO I am making a NEW version.
And I have been working on it for a long, long, long time. Ok, not that long. Like a couple months on and off. It has amazing graphics (I hired a good sprite artist, my sister) No. She's REALLY good. I mean like seriously good.
It is really professional, mainly because I would just wait and wait and wait and wait and wait (like I am now) for my sister to do the sprites, so I would just add things to make it easier, better looking, more professional looking, etc etc etc. For example, little messages float above your player when you gain gold or experience telling you how much you made. It flashes messages when you level up and recover items. It has a quest journal, and buttons have different sprites for (nothing, mouse over, click). And much, much more. Like damage counters, hit markers, walking animations etc etc etc. It tells you where you are when you move. The maps are high quality and detailed. Character Development is great, and there are more quests so you are never stuck without something to do. In other words, it is going to be epic once I finished.
Just so you know how much plot there is, there is 1 island in the current game. There are 8 in this game (that you unlock and switch to).
Yeah. But there's a problem
I am only 8% done, about.
Hey, this far, it's still fast!

Now this is time consuming. I have a life. Hockey. Magnet School. Camp. I'm pretty busy. So, is this really worth it?
Well, I thought so. But at least I thought Snakehead Island was fun. And it got barely any recognition. So should I keep up? Should I post it?
Well, if you want it, please comment here or on the old project to keep it coming. And tell people, if possible. Because I have pretty low hopes for this post, because no one ever cared about things I did that I thought was good. Except when one of my worst projects was featured. Hoop de doo.
Also, you can support me by love-it-ing my old project to show support for continuation:
You can support Snakehead Island, by clicking links, too! Simply go to the below website and click the links there!

Yeah. If I get support I might be able to post progress updates, but that is doubtful. Maybe I will post my screenshots on the forum? Ideas = good.
I'm surprised you made it this far reading. If you are reading this, you are awesome.
That's it. I think.
Remember to support!

SUPPORT COUNT: 8
Supporters: Please realize that whether there is support or not, this game will take a LONG LONG time, especially since my sister's a bit slow.
And I will probably use this support as motivation for my sister.

What I'm currently doing: Adding music support (although only sound effect will be in the game due to size limits although if Scratch 2.0 expands that, expect music!) and Sword/Bow upgrading
