Most of these are nits.
Some UI stuff
- I've been playing TQ on and off on iOS since soon after its release; first on iPod and then iPad mini. The controls worked well. Nice Big Buttons and widgets are easy for Nogur fingers to mash. Moving to TQHD I was very disoriented- all the widgets were tiny and I kept missing the hitboxes. Took several hours of playing before they were semi-usable and several more before I could actually hit them most of the time. I still can't imagine how this would be usable on an iPod/iPhone.
Upshot: be careful when you downsize existing widgets that people have grown accustomed to. I was close to the point of giving up before my fingers finally started to work right. If you think you may need to add more widgets later down the road, budget for them in the initial TQ2 release. Please!- Taking away features (even small, silly ones) will annoy people. For me, Rotation Lock in TQ was essential. With TQHD I have to manually enable/disable Rotation in iOS every time I switch the app out. If its not too late to add Rot lock to TQ2 (or TQHD???), that would be nifty to have. But more than that, once things are baked in, let them stew. Unless there's a good reason to remove them.
Graphic stuff
- Ability to rescale textures in the Editor, or add palettes other manipulations without needing to make multiple copies would be nifty. I realize you're looking at newer devices with more and faster ram but.... still. I'm rooting for old machines with inferior specs. I know that's not as much fun....
Sound
- MIDI import for expansions?
Scripting
- I want a pony!
- loops.... strings.... more access to game environment variables.... all the things that are difficult to implement
- And a unicorn!
General / EditorReal-time combat, real-time movement
- Possibility of redefining races, stats, skills, other things that were baked in for Legacy/TQ? There might be good reasons not to do that. But still... neat to have.
- Test early, test often. While the mice are away.... let the Cat play. So to speak.
- Character view mode? Render of char with worn equipment? Just for fun!
- PLEASE
- GOD
- NO
thanks!
