The original games was going to be based off of the Cinderfall engine in terms of movement and interaction with stuff. It was pretty good system, since back when Cinderfall was still in produciton, a beta version was released and it worked pretty well.
For combat, they created a seperate system that was top down and battles took place in real time instead of turn-based. It all looked really good.
Until two things happened. Cinderfall became too ambitious a project and had to be put on hold. In the mean time the team developed other games, such as MotherLoad.
The next thing that happened was that the main artist (the one responsible for those awesome screenshots) became far too busy with his own life and his own projects and eventually left the team to work bigger and better things.
SRPG2 was pretty much left at a standtill at this point. What they did instead is take the battle engine they created and through fancy computer trickery they made it online. That's where Stick Arena came from. It's based completely around the battle system from SRPG2.
Last nail in the coffin was when Cinderfall was officially canceled. Without a finished Cinderfall, there isn't an engine to tie the main world of SRPG2 to. Salvaging it is pretty useless right now since it's more than 4 years old and flash has made some insane improvements since then. It'd be an assload easier to rewrite the code entirely for SRPG2. Problem is that no one want's to do it cause it's still hard as hell. Also there's still no artist to continue what was left behind by the previus one (Stuart Hart).
So yeah, for the most part it's totally canned. I supposed there's a good 0.5% chance of a revival, but well... Nader has better odds to get in the White House than that.
