I don't really think the QFG2VGA stat system will be necessary. I'm pretty sure a stat system for Hero6 was developed at some point. I do feel honored people bring me up when discussing matters like these.
As for the rest of the comments...it's nice to see people got so enthusiastic about helping. I wanted to say: "Don't jump the gun yet" since people were talking here about restarting the project...a project which has already been through a large amounts of restructurations in the past. But I think Gronagor and Deltamatrix posting here beat me to it.
I do more or less disagree on the role of PR members...they're not exactly overlooked in the fan-game world. In fact, a lot of teams that started over the last decade had at least one PR member. And the less promising projects even had more PR members than development team members.
I personally believe that if you don't need a lot of extra team members, holding back on PR and keeping a somewhat low profile can save you a fair amount of stress when the development becomes more tedious and less interesting to outsiders. This is mostly in the later stages of development.
