Now for those of you who know me, none of this will come as a shock. For Elemental, one of our chief goals is to make a game where the community can keep it going forever and ever.
That means automating as much as possible in game from our standpoint. We want people to mod and mod and mod the game. For instance, if someone wanted to make Carcassonne (I think that’s what it’s called) I want people to be able to do that with Elemental.
What people don’t understand about Elemental is that it’s really the first 3D gaming engine to be made specifically for strategy games in years. This is a big deal because there are some huge differences between a game that’s designed to be played 1st person and one that is designed to be viewed third person in terms of what features the engine is optimized for.
I’d like to see the Elemental engine be able to be used in lots of interesting ways.
