I'm still curious as to whats wrong with the current GMAP.
Oh, you're no longer manager... elaborate.

Also, I'm not sure why adding 1-2 additional jobs isn't enough, why you all need to replace the current jobs, lol. They seem to be functional; apparently able to substain this era.

Everything will be rescripted, yes. We will be reusing lots of levels, and also making new ones and improving olds ones.

The current GMAP has a lot of wasted space and isn't organized in any way. For example, the instrument shop currently resides in a former box factory.

We only plan to add one job (fishing?), if that. The other jobs will just be rescripted or maybe changed to be more interactive/fun.

Would you be willing to elaborate at all on what the businesses are going to be like, or are you going to wait to disclose that?

I don't know much right now except that we want to eliminate pure grabbing businesses and force them to operate working working with each other. There may be some business which cuts trees, for example, then produces some item which is needed for another business to operate (like a mixing spoon for Dairy Hut).

Lame example, but you get the point.

The organization of the GMAP hasn't really been an issue. Players have been comfortable and functioning on this "disorganized" GMAP. I'm simply asking you do whats necessary at certain aspects of your development.

Solution to Instrument Shop: Move it to a location which you just deemed "Wasted Space". <- o.O? Clean up the gmap, re-making one is going to take you all an unnecessary waste of time.


In other words, new job. Core function to jobs is their scripting, if you're going to entirely alter theit scripting or "change" them. You're basically removing and adding a new job, hence my point; is that necessary?
