IMHO, Graal doesn't stand a chance in the 3d market, because it'd be up against Zelda64. It would have to suddenly, with a one-man development team, be at least as good as MM - and fast. But since it'd be direct competition, it'd have to be BETTER than whatever the next Zelda game is. Bear in mind: One programmer here, five thousand programmers there scurrying to save the 'cube. And a dwindling credit line here - a billion dollar warchest there. If you go head to head with Nintendo, you will lose. Unless Nintendo files Chapter11 and goes out of business, THEN there might be a slim chance.

Go Retro. It's why I play Graal at all. Maybe it's because Z3 was still echoing when I started. Maybe it's because I'm still addicted to FF6 (bebbies). Maybe todays' gamers don't dig retro, but I still see it as better than trying to shoehorn into the 3D world with old tech.


If you're determined to go 3D though, use the Tribes 3 engine. Or whatever engine that was Terazel showed me. Use NEW tech. You'll lose the charm regardless, but at least you'll get the eyecandy.
