I thought of another one. Vehicles ... like a Dirtbike, Snowboard, Airplane (that you can Parachute from), Helicopter, etc.
Ooo ... and Transformer style morphing! ... that'd be hilarious if you did that for the shapeshifter, especially with sounds.
I just want to say that I appreciate you attempting this project ... If you can pull it off, alot of people will be happy.
Blood of the Ancient One, Seen only as Shadow, Faster than Lightning, Fierce as the Greatest Dragon, Nearly Invisible, Floating in a Dream, Entered through the Demon Door, Destroyer of Evil in a Realm with a Red Sky Scarred, Who could I be ?
Ok i really hope you finish this!
All i can say is make sure you dont hard code anything.
and if other people are going to use it, its gona need to be easy to only use the different movements and stuff they want in there game.
Very good idea though, keep at it.. Alough dont put to much work on top of yourself otherwise it will become another abandoned engine... I think your on to somthing here, go for it!
Thanks for all of the input! I need to make some updates to the list.

Agreed. I may have some stuff hard coded in the beginning but my goal is to move most of that stuff into a single Active Object.

Yep! Honestly, I don't really know how easy the final product will be to adapt to other games. I'm hoping it will be relatively easy but I'm guessing it will still take some work. My primary goal with this engine, though, is to have something that contains a lot of different features for people to analyze, dissect, and port to their own engines. If this engine is never used "as is" but rather stipped and ripped for its various features - then I think it's accomplished it's goal. I think it's more of an "idea" engine than an engine that someone should use for their game.

Thanks! I'm going to work on this as I have time. I don't think I'll be working on the features in any particular order - except those that really catch my eye. Currently, the two features that I'd like to get in the engine are swimming and, of all things, morphing (stealing an enemies shape and movement). Someone recommended that and it just sounds like a really cool idea.
ooo i know what about sliding? ya know like you come to a wall thats just to low for you to walk through so you get a running start crouch move and slide under it! lol i actually kinda have a general idea on how this works already but i think it would be cool to inform others! Good luck completing it man!
