are you planning to make it in xLIB or ASCII? If so we could be able to help Since you are making it easy to install I assume you will probably need the new resource feature from the new xLIB,so you can keep the amount of subroutine to a minumum and be able to run practically everything from archive

u kno something i've always wanted to see done on the 83's but never got around to doing it myself? perhaps u should make a Rogue Type game that would almost have unlimited REplayablility. Like a fantasy game with simple sprites where u can almost completely customize ur char: Atri, Class, Look, Item, etc...
U can also add a short story in like different quest to go on like in Fable. Hope this helps
btw, ur stilll working on Pirates right?

xLIB or ASCII?

Don't know yet, once I get more in place, I will decide.  I can tell you that if I use the graphscreen, I will use xLIB.

Help

Thanks Rivereye, I might need help when it comes to some coding, the frontend stuff I enjoy doing, so I don't see any reason to need help there.

Customizible Characters

I will probably have some unique forms of customization, nice suggestion.

Non-Linear Side Quests

Hmmm, still dunno on this one

PIRATES

Oh, yes, this is more of a project that I would like to code on calc (PIRATES along with QuadPac v2.0 are coded in TIProgramEditor).  Don't worry, I'll be working on PIRATES as well.

Project Dark

Wow, well, I won't be doing that much work, I'm not looking for another huge project .  Thanks for the link tho kalan, I was not aware of that, and I will be sure not to rip any features.

Hope this all helps.  I will be adding the game-related Q's to the top post.

Stats

I believe that I will probably only have 5 attributes (HP, MP (maybe), STR, SPD, WLL, LCK (maybe))

About the feats, could you elaborate what you mean by feats?

i agree, u don't wanna get too into customisation, perhaps something like Fable, that worked out really well. and yeah, i knew Project Dark was being made, this game could be smaller and quickly made than Project Dark, besides, Project Dark might only be for SE's.
anyways, another idea, u can have a quest editor, that way, people can submit their own sidequests to the game after the player is done with main storyline

With non programmers, simplicity is key.  I want my RPG to be passive developement, which is not making the player aware that their character is getting stronger.  I wanted Deus Ex Mortalis to be "use it more and get better," but I see that may be an option only for the ASM and C versions.  The basic version will probably feature only psionic splicing.  Then again, I might never make the 89 basic version!!

Dp r0x0rs

I think that I am going to scrap this project.  Didn't have any good ideas, and I've got less time now, so one less project will help.  I will however take some of these ideas, and I might incorporate them into PIRATES! or later projects.  Topic Closed.
