well i'm about ready to start... express snap, crackles and pops along at 80mb to start (stripped)... src is down to 90 warnings from 350 (mostly in rpg which i haven't started yet)... the levels are blocked out and ready for textures and models... the menu system is tweaked to my liking (but not complete yet)... folders are organized well enuf... gameplay drafted and laid out... and i will get to games when i get to games...
ment to be old style rpg, a few critters, puzzles, and potions ... semi-liniar with the options (maybe) of a simplified hero (just levels and health etc without all the algorithms) or complex... wizards and bad guys... ( concat (but no betrayals) (i never liked them) )... not fancy fancy, but a bit better than just functional in detail...
and the adventure begins...
EDIT:
i've decided to stay
"truer" to platinum arts and use the default game with my little tweaks in a changelog and keep the game the game, and the src/menus the src/menus... they really are two different aspects of game making... and if mike returns to the 2.7.1 gui (my birthday is coming up soon

), it will be easier to move my game to the newer version...
