Hi All,
I'd like to say I am very proud of what I have done so far in my game (in terms of design and how to get people immersed into the game itself considering what i've done in terms of the games size at present, making it feel like an actual living thing, rather than just a point a click rpg).
However, when I have added the first main cave that leaves the starting area, I have hit a decision I am unsure on.
I don't know whether to link it to the "World Map" style where you can run long distances very quickly to other towns and dungeons etc. when you leave the dungeon, and you can enter different areas (so the generic world map - final fantasy series).
Alternatively I was going to do it so it links to just another area (say a forest or field, which leads to a village etc. which has hidden passages that lead to other places and so on) and the whole world links together without a world map (in this I would add keystones so you can recall between key places).
What would you prefer to play, and why?
Thanks for your help!!
