Hi Derold here, expansion on my game Idea.

the one I put forth was just to get started and leaves allot of room for
improvement.  for instance if it was used the next step I would have
suggested would be  battle screens, shops, basic characters in town &
castle, 7 or 8 basic monsters, and a boss monster.
When I submitted it I had in mind a cartooney format in mind but was hoping
for basic graphics which I was hoping would improve as the game advanced in
complexity.
I had in mind 5 - 6 stages before we had a fully playable version.
Hope that clears up any confusion with it.

Derold

PS I was hoping RPG because it has so many areas to be worked and could be
broken into ever smaller aspects if needed, I also like the game pack Idea,
though I don't care for hack and slash games.
