Nice ok dont take this to heart just a thought but don't you think you're overloading yourself just a bit? I mean The Wheel of Time, The Dark Cloud, and now an Expansion to TDC? I mean if you can handle it then thats fine! :grin:

Dear Sir, we need to talk about bossfights and instances. You cannot have the perfect RPG (although it is looking very good) unless you have succesfully implemented these huge obstacles and "challenges" to the players gameplay style. How are they coming along for you? Have you read my tutorial on the basics of bossfights? You've got my attention and I want to see if you have worked on my specializing field~

its not. Matter of fact...its far from perfect... there are so many flaws in the current map that i decided to make another one.

Thing is the title is meant to imply that it will be perfect. My goal was to make it the best RPG ever....so far thats not going to well.

But i got a new wind...im creating a demo for everyone to at least try to enjoy.

Edit : lol thanks Asomath =) i read ur tutorial a minute ago and its very nice. It actually helped me alot...because i was having trouble percieving how my game would have bossfights with just a single player. but im figuring it out at the moment for my demo.

His GOAL is perfection, which is somthing you should reach for, even if it is impossible.

I don't think this is true. In order to reach for perfection you need to have the capacity to make something perfect (it needs to be possible), otherwise you will just collapse under the weight of the obstacles you've created (i.e. this mapmaker).

You need to understand your own limitations and work with them, otherwise you'll end up with.. well what this project has become right now.

the percentage is really iffy at this point in time.

though lots of shit is getting done. So im estimating the demo is 25 % done right now. but thats not a consistent figure, as we are always making new features, and having more ideas and expanding the explorable world.
