Hi,
Snip
if you think in doing something more complex, it is almost impossible to
put sounds to all things, just think each adventure with it's sounds, it
will take sooo much more time to release each adventure.

That is a very good point, and I am glad you braught the issue up. If I
am going to make an RPG of any real size adding sounds is pretty
impractical both from a financial as well as a logistical standpoint.
If I am going to add many monsters such as goblins, orcs, ogres,
harpies, dragons, giants, skeletons,
whatever then I need to supply sounds for all of those. If you have a
special sword that has some magical properties then obviously you will
expect that sord to sound different from a regular sword during your
attack rolls. When you look at the logistics of it adding sounds could
become a major undertaking. That's only looking at if we go with a
strictly dungions and dragons kind of rpg.
If I went with a Justice League style RPG there is no way I can do the
same quality of sound design as JLA Heroes for the PS2. The PS2 game has
cut scenes, hundreds of special sound effects, unlockables that I simply
can't do on my limited budget. So text based would be easier to
develope, and then the game would be more story driven rather than real
time rpg like justice League Heroes is.

and with the options in tab menus, like. a field to
type what you want, then you type tab and it will going in the options,
like north, tab south, tab examine (x) object, combat etc
End snip
That isn't really going to be possible. Autocomplete features are a real
pain to design as a rule, and if I design it to be cross platform then I
need to be thinking of very simple low-level input handling which all
languages have.
Smile.
