That's a graphic adventure. I'm working on that kind of editor. But, the Interface will be the 'old-school' typing in the verb + noun. I'm not to fond of these 'dumbed-down' interfaces of today. There's not much thought required when everything is spelled out for ya. It's more Kings Quest-like rather than Monkey Island. I can't remember, but I think I might've sent you an iff pic of one of my screens way back when in '97. I wouldn't mind getting the support of you & your connections, but the game would have to be what I have in mind. I have an original storyline sketched out. As far as the editor goes, I can take any iff pic and turn it into an active game screen: Multiple background & foreground objects of varying sizes: rocks, trees, shrubs, buildings, etc, a joystick controlled character that walks around the objects, & collision detection. Screens that have water: multiple walking depths, (haven't completed the swimming animations or code yet). Oh..just 1 screen specification: 32-colors, 320x200, can't use the last 10 color registers (22-31), so your actually lookin at a 22 color screen, which doesn't look too shabby. You can send me a full 32-colr screen, Digi-View 4.0 can re-draw the screen with user- defined number of colors. Your call, dude.
