Thanks for that people...im afriad to say i suppose i "used up" my ideas on the other board but that should be no excuse..i mean after playing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> i sould be full of ideas...
Ok im going to do the magic part later...for today im going to do scenery and how the game screen hopefully will look.
I know i jump around on ideas alot...but i write the ideas as soon as i get them.
In <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> we had for a large part..forests countered by huge dungeon areas and adding to the mix some towns,cities,deserts and a part of rocky mountain.
In <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> we had lava,small portion of desert,a large area of inside a building and dry earth. In the battlefeilds we had a range of scenery.
In looking back I think that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> had more of a balance. I would like to see hopefully the same sort of mix,maybe having one area set on the high mountains and 1 area in the snow.
Also it would be interesting for weather changes maybe in towns/populated areas only...say randomly generated days where there is rain,sun and times where it is incredibly windy so even if your not moving...you do actually move slightly...that would be fun.
Now about how the main scren should look....since this is 3-d...i still think that the toolbar(is that the right word) at the bottom of the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> screen can still be used. Navigating through this toolbar you would need to use the arrow keys and then press enter...you can alternatively use the appropriate hotkey. Then mouse the obviously would be "active" and you can do whatever you want.
Now when in non-combat mode and you click on an empty beer mug..its as if you are holding the beer mug in your hand.Now say you see a beer barrel..and walk up to it..it will glow white and touching the barrel would fill the mug with beer. The beer would the go into your inventory and clicking on it would mean that you have drink the beer. Also small objects can be used on one another if you drag them in your inventory just like in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />.
Hmmm next time either i will do the magic personal triats..or why summoning dolls should not be in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 2...or a background story to <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> 2
