Okay, update time! 
So, the local developer thing fell through before it even started; it was a friend of a friend who develops SOFTWARE (not games) for computers/mobile, and was curious about my project - that's as far as it went with them -_-||
BUT -- good news elsewhere, however; I've just recently heard from my programming friend, and (should things pan out as he thinks they will) he plans to have the next iteration of our project's level/game creating software done by the end of next week! While I intend to resume work on my primary project (the beat-em-up game mentioned elsewhere in this thread), I DO plan on continuing to work on this secondary endeavor as well~! 
Other than that, I don't have much else to report. Life and holidays have kept me busy!
