This has already been answered. Escher's Staircases are nixed.
Well, I can't necisarilly say that 100% sure- one could make really clever workarounds I'm sure, but they wouldn't function as you seem to want them to.

EDIT: Wait, did somebody say something about splitting parties and having both parties be active? That reminds me of what I had intended to do for the final dungeon of E:BH (and it would have been seriously awesome if I had mustered up the patience to do). The intent was to use the Mage Lore check to determine the number of party members, open 1-6 portculli respectively, and then have the party only be able to enter the portculli in combat, and not open the portculli admitting the party into the gauntlet as a whole until all party members were within two portculli. The party would be killed if they tried to exit combat mode with one or more party members still in the gauntlet- by this, the party would effectively be forced into different groups.

It was a really, really, really good idea, and I really regret not having done it. I might just make a short scenario with the only purpose of demonstrating some of the really cool concepts I have, much like Shadow of the Stranger. :P

Morgan is... ...half-right. Polaris was started by people "rebelling" against my evil regime of terror. It was... ...a horrible mistake.

Maybe it's just my high resolution, but the font is still way too tiny.

Other than that, it's a pretty good setup. Not that I have any right to complain. :P

BtI is partially right. I included ~3 frame animation sequences in Two Strands, which is a small scenario. Assumedly, it could also work in medium scenarios. Although large scenarios...

Animations aren't limited to Frame Animation. Alcritas used Pause Animation in Signs and Portents, and I used Burst Animation in Echoes: Pawns (both names used for lack of better ones).

And of course, there are Special Spells, NPCs, and other innovations in BoE that go beyond anything that Jeff had imagined.

Give it a spin. It really is worth it.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I was against law enforcement, but claiming that I support murder and anarchy isn't the most contrived thing that has been made up about me.

Worrying about generating corruption is like worrying about going to hell. If you are genuinely inerested in helping people, you'll either not be competent and thus not be accepted, or you'll be accepted and do a good job. If you are genuinely interested in going to heaven and are not homosexual, Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, atheist, agnostic, liberal, non-supportive of Old Testament death penalties, or anything but a sincere follower of the exact views stated by Jack T. Chick our personal lord and savior, then you're probably going to heaven. Or hell, depending on God's mood.

Black Isle (may its soul rest in peace) can't really be considered a garage company, but give Fallout and Fallout 2 a spin anyway. They're incredibly open-ended, but despite this, they are actually quite good once you get beyond the fact that the GUI is as much of a wasteland as the setting the game takes place in. (The pixelation of the graphics annoyed me some towards the beginning.) And unlike other RPGs that dump the player in odd situations, Fallout and its successor thereof both give the player the right ammount of freedom and the right ammount of direction.

I may be biased, but I think a lot (read as: Luz Piazuelo's) custom graphics are good, and make more sense than many of those used in A1-2. (Personally, I think some of the graphics in A3 were nigh-on godsend with respect to their predecessors.)

Well, that's not *entirely* true. It would be possible to give the party a new graphic and half-assume in the scenario that they are a new race- Rakshasi, for example- and set their Resistance skill extremely high to account for this. It doesn't work perfectly, but it works.

What I'm more concerned with is being able to script with race. In A3/E3, there were somewhat-passive nephils who didn't attack the party if there was a nephil in it. Can we as designers pull these kind of stunts in BoA?

Let's say the word Shitte (Means "to know" in Japanese) is censored. Which it is. Fortunately, the autocensor does not recognize words that are broken up by something. Shi tte works just fine, but that still looks pretty stupid. Fortunately, you can break the words up with tags. WHAT YOU DO:

[b]Shi[/b][b]tte[/b]

Wasazore will bring the Baleful Fasces, civilization and a written language to the party.

Katothen will bring Sathoj, Billeck, and... Wait, Katothen only has 2 counterparts, doesn't he?

Deacon will bring rape, death and destruction, regardless of whether he's invited or not.

Karl will bring a pimping outfit, the Imperial Army and the only pair of read eyes other than Deacon's.

Icabod will bring three textbooks, but seeing how they will be used to fuel the bonfire, it doesn't matter much what they are, now does it?

Photarin will bring rationality, nonsentimentality and unemotionality.

Theodore will bring love, love and love.

Emperor Tachyon IV will bring his IV tube, heartbeat meter and catheter.

Marx is a ninja so I can't really say for sure what he will bring, but I'm fairly sure that it will be equally distributed amongst the guests.

Myron will bring arrogance, a Viscuous Demon to back that up, and another Viscuous Demon in case the first one fails. Unfortunately, absolutely nobody will be able to get Myron to join the party no matter HOW damned much they try.

Disco Joe will bring Heatwave, the BeeGees, and his kickin' dance moves.

Echoes will bring tomorow.
There is no tomorrow.
Echoes will bring nothing.
