Making a Fan-Made Paper Mario game. Question....

[PaperMarioLover]

So, I'm making a fan-made Paper Mario game.  It's called Paper Mario:  The Star Princess!  Storyline-wise this happens between the ending of Paper Mario 64 and the beginning of Paper Mario:  The Thousand Year Old Door.  It's the Paper Mario that I wish I could've played.  So far I'm not very far into the game, I only got the first level (Which isn't much of a level) done.  I'm currently working on the forest that leads to Toad Town, and Toad Town itself.  

Here's a brief summary about the game:

This is the Spiritual successor to Paper Mario 64. After Princess Peach celebrated her birthday at her castle, she and the Star Spirit ElderStar started making their way back to Star Haven. However enemies started to appear on the road to Star Haven, but with the help of ElderStar, Princess Peach is able to defeat them all. But then they meet up with the mysterious Sorcerous Jaydes, who stole the Star Rod from Star Haven, they immediately go into battle.
Unfortunately, Jaydes wins the battle. Elderstar flees from Jaydes, and Jaydes kidnaps Princess Peach. Now it’s up to Mario and the Star Spirits to reclaim the Star Rod and defeat the evil Jaydes. This time, you get to play as 2 separate parties, Mario and Princess Peach. With Mario, you get the Star Spirits as partners. Each Star Spirit has unique movesets and take on a vital role in helping Mario.
You also get to play as Princess Peach. Princess Peach is no longer the damsel in distress, she’s decided to take matters into her own hands. Princess Peach becomes friends with certain enemies in an attempt to figure out Jaydes weakness and exploit it. Each partner of Princess Peach’s has their own unique moveset, and Peach works diligently to help Mario out while trying to stop her captor Jaydes from making more bad wishes with the Star Rod.
Will Mario, the Star Spirits, Peach, and her partners, will they succeed? One can only hope in Paper Mario: The Star Princess.

My question is, would you play a game like this?  Be honest.  I am a beginning video game developer so the final product might not be "industry standard" but I am trying my absolute hardest for it to be enjoyable.  But would you play my game?  Why or why not?

You should check out my game when you get the chance.  Updates every week, and sometimes more than one update per week:  Paper Mario:  The Star Princess

Mario RPG fangames are rather sparse, so I think you'd stir plenty of interest with a Paper Mario fangame. The premise sounds interesting enough.

Well, I hope so.  I'm not very far into it right now, only got 1 level done.  I will try to update as much as I can.  Just be patient, this is going to be a 1-man operation.  I think it's important that you and everyone reading this should know, that I'm using several programs to make this video game.  I guess you could say, the parts of the game that I struggle with (especially with coding, since that seems to be my weakness) I'm using other programs to make this game a reality.  My goal is to try to do an update every week if I can, but if I can't, just know that I will try my best.  For those who have made RPG games before, you know how daunting that task is (and it's very daunting, there's lots of elements that you have to put together to make the game worthwhile), and because I'm one person, I'm utilizing certain websites, spritesheets, etc... to help put this game into motion.

Thank you for your response, I hope I can make a game anyone of any age can enjoy.  I'm losing money by making this game, because again I am utilizing certain programs to speed up the process, so my hope is, with the amount of money I'm putting into making a fan game, that it'll be well-received.  And yes, I'm not making money from this obviously, but I am putting money towards it because I want this game to be the best it can be, cause I have such a fascination with Paper Mario 64 and TTYD, so I hope my efforts won't be in vain.

For those of you who are interested, I will be updating my game in the Development section of the forum.  I do have a website I'll be updating as well, but I'm not going to put it here cause I'm not sure if we can advertise our game on other websites and post the website on here (I briefly looked at the rules, and not sure if I'm allowed to do that).  So for now just go to the development section and I'll try my best to update my game every week if I can.
