But you shouldn't try to make it complete and then release it. You're now working for over two years I would guess on it and often stuff doesn't work for others (I'm a coder myself so know that very well), so you would end having alot of stuff to change or fix.
A beta/alpha release would be a good idea to collect information what people want or where bugs are
Maybe you even should go opensource so that others can help you or for the worst case can pick up your work if you didn't want to work on it anymore or disapeared.
The Secret of Mana Editor has been an on-and-off side-project of mine since sometime in 2004. The current version is a buggy pre-release, the latest build of which you can find on the message board or dropbox. Hopefully this project will one day (soon) become an all-around write-your-own-SNES-game editor on the level of other lovely programs like PK Hack, Temporal Flux, and Lunar Magic.
Features:
- Map editing
- Dialogue and event editing
- Music editing
- Music sample editing
- Font editing
- Tile editing
- Tileset editing
- World map editing
- Rom expansion from 16 to 32 megabit
- Automatic rewriting of game code to allow dynamically sized elements to occupy more space in the rom
Planned features:
- Sprite editing
- Animation editing
- Misc data editing
- Enemy AI editing
- Sound effect editing
- Automated bug fixes / game engine changes

From what I can tell, he is planning on releasing something after he gets a few more (important) features put into place and working.
I'm just glad to see updates on the blog, even if they're small comments like this.
Thank you for the link, great remix !
Keep it up, I do follow your project :-)
