Hi guys !
I just started playing Illusiat 11, and I have to say it's pure awesomeness packed into one game.
My only concern with it is the speed : it's pretty annoying to wait while the screen redraws. Also the fact that it can't run from archive but that's something else. So here we are : I want to rewrite it in Axe for even more awesomeness !
I already tried to write a map display routine and it is pretty much instant.
So here is what I wanna do :
-Completely rewrite the engine in Axe for speed and splitting all the data from it
-Nice looking GUIs
-New battle screen (maybe with graphics ?)
-The battle engine will have to be written in ASM in order to keep floating point math because I heard it relies on it
-Keep these awesome ASCII maps
-Map compression
-Scripting
-Cutscene scripting
-Music ! (probably gonna remix one or two of DJ's songs)
-Anything you guys could suggest
Of course I won't do it with DJ's permission because it's his game after all.
So planning stage discussion, engage !
[offtopic]Also this doesn't mean my two other projects (HammerIDE and my unnamed storyless RPG) are dead.

I started with it on the TI-80 with trial/error until I've put my hands on the manual. I continued on the TI-84 until I learned Axe.
But I'm not there yet. Same for music.
