well.. 2 coders on one project doesn't always mean that things go twice as
fast..
so I think some dedicated coders have to do the project, but ALL of use
here can discuss about features etc. An RPG is NOT easy to make! It's not
really difficult to code, but alot of structure has to be clear before the
coders start. And keep in mind that once an engine is done, the only thing
needed to make a 100% game is datafiles! NO additional code!! So, the
engine has to cover ALL needs!
Oh, and then something else: what about making the editing tools (map
editor, sprite editor, dot editor, demo storyboard editor etc.) for windows ..?
