Journal: Testing out this thing...

Mostly, I'm just testing out this blog thing, to see if it's worth the pain vs. doing it by hand on my own webspace.

I really, really, *REALLY* wish they would come out with more of the old-style Zelda I and Final Fantasy I type games. Sure, update the sprites with better resolution, and more colors. But don't try to turn it into a first-person shooter with pretensions of levelling up. Take say Zelda I, but instead of a 8x16 screen overworld, expand it to 64x64, or even 128x128. Instead of 12x16 (I think each room's tiling is), make it 24x32 or so... Sprites bumped up to 32x32, high-color at least. Dungeons at *LEAST* 16x16 rooms, perhaps more - and the possibility of doors leading into other dungeons, and multiple exits to one dungeon... And how about multiple floors to it?

Then there's the old Phantasy Star, which did 3D dungeons, but *STRICTLY* on a grid and stepping step-by-step.

Damn, I need to quit bitching and start coding.
