[Who would play an old-school themed RPG with a deep, open world a la Fallout, Elder Scrolls?]

Torquemada, you don't play World of Warcraft on Gorefiend, do you? There was a player by that name when I used to play.

Nope, not me. Those newfangled graphic MUDs are the work of the devil. Or Lord British.

So, what platform(s) are you going for?

[Who would play an old-school themed RPG with a deep, open world a la Fallout, Elder Scrolls?]

Think about all we've learned from decades of awesome RPGs, and all the things we yearn to see in modern RPGs that many consider watered down (lack of choice, linear/cheesy plot, small worlds, not enough to do.) Would you sacrifice fancy graphics in exchange for all that stuff again in a NEW game?

Yes, I would. But then, I love MUDs and text-based adventure games.

OK, so based on this (and Twitter), simple graphics would be better. Think old-school PC game like Ultima, or the aforementioned Castle of the Winds, or even the graphical version of Nethack. Absolutely nothing fancy.

Any other thoughts?

Be careful with graphics, though.

Simple graphics can easily be labeled as crappy. If you're going for lo-res graphics, design them in some unique or quirky way as to let the prospective players know that the look was a deliberate choice and not a mere afterthought.

At the same time, all-text IS definitely less accessible. It's so much easier to click on an inventory item or dialog option than to literally type in everything you want to do...

Well, you could do neat stuff with text too. It depends on the platform; frex, a lot of text input on a console doesn't sound too hot.

Good luck.

[Planescape Torment-Main Theme]

Bump for great justice.

I think Planescape: Torment it's a great game deserving of some remixing love. After listening, I'm sure any remixer will find the Main Theme full of possibilities.

I hope to see that happen soon. Please?

[Planescape: Torment]

Good day.

A favorite game of mine, Planescape: Torment [wikipedia], has some very interesting music and would like to see the take on it by the talented people who gather here.

You can listen to the main theme here and check out the suggestions for other pieces of the soundtrack. Click here for a complete soundtrack listing.

I hope someone finds the music inspiring enough to take the time to craft a remix.

Thanks.

PS: Also, if someone knows about Planescape: Torment non-OCR remixes, please be kind and share the location via PM.
