Oh my gosh, you released it, you really did it. I am so happy, this is a dream come true to see Vixen on gameboy color!! I am so, so sorry I never got back to you on gmail, I ended up realizing that I was not nearly as good at getting the maps as I thought I would be. I assumed that I would not be able to help in any way besides what I had done already, so I just stopped replying as I did not want to disappoint you. But I still secretly hoped you would find the motivation to continue the project. I am so happy you continued working on this. This game is my childhood favorite, that is why I wanted you to port it to gameboy so much! This means the world to me to be able to play this!!

Thank you very much for your comment, the problem here was that you completely disappeared and there was no sign of life. It would have been better to finish this game together and writing that you can't do this would have been much fairer than not answering at all. Anyway, I'm glad you're well, I wish you all the best! Best regards, Lacoste
