Something to keep in mind is command consistency: sometimes the same command in different scenarios is given a different command, which can make it awkward. Inspecting items in-store, in inventory and while trading in inventory all have completely different commands. Similarly, quitting the game has the same thing happening with it.

I don't know if this is an engine limitation or what, but it seems like a really odd thing to be doing.

I'm working on Sovereign and a strategy title.

:cmcc:

So, the Dune clone fiasco from the KotC developer wasn't enough?



It's TBS, almost done, only took a couple months while working on Sovereign and it will work on tablets, PC, Mac & Linux (unless something goes wrong). I think it'll help me last in the business. Of course I could be wrong but that's what I figured.

I'll look that over but it has a lot to do with available keys, which vary from screen to screen. There's also the fact that I overhauled things several times along the way so giving it a closer look might be worthwhile.

Bought and waiting for download. Seems I can finally play the game!

Well, you can always combine the strategy game with an rpg to get a more awesome game.

It has remained in that almost done state ever since, I'm afraid. When I decided to rebuild the S&S engine entirely I never went back to it.

It's far enough along that I'll get back to it sometime though. Would be a waste not to.

Thanks Morkar, I hope you enjoy the current one :)
