Q: When will Konton Battle Monsters make its' debut?

I get this question more than usual.. The answer to this question is very very simple. Not even I know when Konton Battle Monsters (TCG) or (Kbm Online) will be released, It takes time. The reason why it takes more time than usual for me (many of you may not know this) but I do everything, when I say "everything" I mean it, I'll list everything that I do to keep this website running, the game continuing in production etc. (View below)

(What it takes)

Website Managment

This includes database managment, Keeping the website clean, creating the imagery used on the website as well as its content.

Graphic Digital Design

This includes creating images,editing images from scratch for the website and the game (online/TCG) itself.
Application Designing & Programming
This includes creating user based applications that are smooth and clear of most bugs, I use Flash CS3 (Actionscript 2.0), Php,Mysql databases, html,CSS,XML and Visual Basic 6.0 to create my applications as well as the online game itself
Game Designing & Programming
This includes coming up with the rules, Card rulings, Banlists, Card images, Card templates made from scratch using Photoshop CS3, Fireworks CS3 etc.
Character Design
This includes drawing out characters from scratch/Coming up with character designs and templates, editing them in Photoshop CS3, And integrating them into the game, As well as creating a solid background for each individual character.
Story Creation
This includes writing up a story to grab the intrests of many players and/or readers from younger readers to adults.
Advertisment
This includes paying out of pocket to advertise for the website, using google's advertisements, Making and printing flyers etc.
Time
As i'm always saying in my posts "Only time will tell", Well it's the truth. When I say that I mean that it takes time.. Time to actually be able to sit down and work for hours on end (Yes hours.. 9-15 hours at a time) I Don't know if you guys realized it all till now but like I said i'm one person, Most major companies in the same field have teams, Yes teams of programmers, That all have a specific job to do in one field. I do every job in every single field.. So it takes more time than a major company.
Money
Ahh Finally, Good ol'e money, This includes, paying out of pocket for the webserver to present all of this to the members of this website as well players. Paying for advertisements online and outside the web. Printing the actual TCG Cards as well as playmats, T-shirts, and many other products, And may I remind you all of this coming out of pocket..

Now with all of that being said, Hopefully you all can atleast give me a break and let this question die down a bit before you ask again "When will the game make it's debut".
