That's why we need a fully functional RPG. Quite honestly I don't know why that would be difficult, even from a programming standpoint. I don't mean this as a putdown toward BSC. It's not at all. I respect them for their work, and I do wish Castle Quest had seen completion, but I just don't think it'd be that tough. You create several decent maps to form the game world, and go from there creating characters, cutscenes, a battle system, and other features. The world itself wouldn't have to be too expansive, actually. I can tell you from personal RPG experience that some of the best RPG storylines come from revisiting places from earlier in the game to find things amis. Just my three cents. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan Strunk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 11:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] thoughts on monty
