In respect of the game, i dunno if it will be easyer learning C++ and
complete the engine, rather than hacking and changing artwork of KQ.
Really it would be my first big program, and i'd prefer the second
choice. The target could be change the look and the engine to make it
look like Final Fantasy 6, the prettyest game of the SNES I remember.
Later, with minor changes It could be possible to make it look like
FF7-8-9, substituting sprites with polygons and using renders as
backgrounds (some parts of those games are 3D, but i remember a 3D
"mode 7" in SNES FF6, so a 2D engine could be adapted).
This is something I have been thinking to do a lot of time, but don't
really know how to do it. Using the code of KQ brings me the
oportunity to see a full game, is better point to start in my opinion.
These kind of games, JRPG or turn based RPG, lacks not only in Free
Software World, they lack also in the mostly common PC world. In
change, its a very popular kind of game in consoles. I think as you,
that any game is welcome to the free software community.
