I didn't even know this existed until I bumped into this board just now. Bravo for keeping this under wraps so well.

I noted this comment:

**...Coldstone is aimed to be a role-playing game engine that let you create games somewhere between Myst (mouse navigation engine for still pictures) and Diablo (map engine with character animations and everything).
**

So a Myst-like game is creatable, therefore? I like where this is going.

What about a Diablo type? Where you can have the set items, and tilesets, and have the map be randomly generated each time.

Heh, from what I heard it was a very difficult thing for Blizzard to do the random generation thingy for Diablo. I think that while Coldstone will be able to give you something almost like Diablo (maybe even DII) I doubt that the random generation will be possible, unless you wish to script an event that does that (it is possible to do, just not probable)

If it's not on fire, its a software problem.

At the moment I'm brainstorming for a game similar to Diablo 1, only set in the future.

To tell you the truth, I would rather the kind of RPG with very little animation. I feel that simple play, with the 'do nothing and nothing will happen' type engine, when you have to click to move and everything moves around you (aka Cythera, Exile, Realmz ect). I find that simple play leads to more enjoyment of the game, but obviously a futuristic game needs to be animated. Yeah, go for it Necro.

Ahhh, my two best buddy's on the same board, in the same post, next to eachother. How nice.

I will play the other RPGs but I come back to Realmz all the time.
