I tried to use the image string creator; but it raises a 'stream read error', any ideas about this?
The talk between the characters will at some point come to an end and some action needs to take place. But I have no idea what kind of perspective you guys had in mind.
If nobody has a better idea, I think I will roll a dice in a few days so that a start can be made adding some action (most likely with pixel graphics to start off with).
1 = TopView - Legend of Zelda
2 = TopView - Legend of Zelda (with map scrolling)
3 = TopSideView - Golden Axe
4 = Sideview - Shinobi
5 = 3D - Mario [overworld]
6 = 3D - Mario 64
Obviously it will be a challenge to create without assets, but that is what this experiment is all about, challenge.
Meanwhile a skill class has been constructed with attack, defense, speed, range, intelligence and accuracy (so far).
