but you could achieve IMO a lot more awesomeness with non-random generated maps.

Do you care to elaborate/explain?

Well, if it is random generated it probably won't be so realistic as that stuff is so complex, and then it might be impossible to find some secrets, with fixed maps you can set every secrets etc. and have just a far larger control over it, while playing you can also exchange better with other people and last all other rpgs have also fixed maps.

What about a compromise?

We could handle weak enemies that occur all over the map like in an action RPG, so you can defeat those with pressing the attack and defend buttons a few times, and for very strong enemies, bosses and maybe some quest-related fights, we can use a special tactical battle engine. Doing this will also make the gameplay more varied, which is often a good thing.

It does give more work to code, but a lot of hands can do a lot of work .

I think that would make the system very awkward, unnecessarily bloated, and hard to handle from a programming standpoint. Since both ideas are almost equally popular we just need to choose one and stick with it.

arpg still has more votes
and that idea isn't too bad, that for heavier battles it is a bit more turn-based, and then stuff like other enemies or houses or map scrolling are not available but it is still more arpg like (i hope you get what i mean)

Wow, this is pretty epic, congrats builderboy!

Then collect ideas, like item stuff etc.

Because they contain fast routines so you don't have to write you own (most of the time slower) ones, for in example accessing archive etc

lol, that was a retorical question stating that we could use axioms then for such stuff

the new logo reminds me of tetris blocks....

wow
just wow
that is epic
and nobody say something different
