The Road Through Life - (first screenshots)

I'm going to end this conversation with this:
Graphics don't make the game. The crappiest looking game could be one of the most enjoyable games you've played. In my eyes, it's everything in a whole. What draws me into a game and keeps me interested mostly, is the story.

Definitely go with 2D rather than 3D. 2D is a lot cleaner and more efficient. I agree with Snake that graphics never make the game. Monkey Island 2 had much more colorful and detailed graphics than the first game, but in my opinion, the writing, storyline, and puzzles in the first were all much better than in the second. If you spend all of your time working on nothing but graphics and shaping the game after what you can do graphically, you'll have nothing but a mess of pictures that may be pretty, but that nobody will ever see when they get frustrated with the sub-par writing and blotchy storyline. (And I don't say you as in you, Frenchy, but you as in you, general.) Put an equal amount of your talent into everything do what fits the game best. If I had it my way, all three Gabriel Knight games would have used VGA, because I felt that the graphics from the first game were far superior and fit the series better than 3D or live action. But yes, good luck. If you finish it, you'll have quite a hit on your hands.

I have two days of school left. After five tests (In two days) I will be free and be able to make this game. So dont expect anything for a while.

This is me signing off.
