What if we make another part of Zippy Town? Named something that what we now take? I mean, just the same town/village/whatever, but just a western part of it? Or something...?

Make it bigger in a new module? Nah, I don't like the idea. I think Zippy is big enough as it is.

No, I meant a new module. Zippy something. Another part... Well, maybe not then...

Hmmm... That sounds interesting. I would like to see some sort of road with a cornfield or havest.

Then an airplane chases you. lol. Just kidding.

Took me a bit to find this thread.
Didn't want to make a new one, see....

Anyway:

Double-jumping
It's hard to see that it's two separate jumps; when you hold down the button it almost seems like one.
It'd be cool to have multiple jump animations, so that, for example, the first jump of the Rogue is like a normal jump, but the second is a flip.
Then the third could be something else (he reaches up in the air in a mariolike fashion?) or maybe the first jump again.

Character size increase
Size increase is actually really noticeable next to human characters, even in small amounts. I think the rate should be decreased by about 30% (and yes, I know it's already been changed at least once) for the Soldier and Paladin (and anything else you think should be bigger; maybe the archaeologist?), and 50% for everyone else. The Wizard's, and maybe the G'nome's, should decrease by 60 or 70%.

Character limit for name display
I think that the names should not be cut off; there seems to be plenty of room to fit names.
If there's not, it should change the font size or something.
We should at least make it so that whatever the longest random name currently is will fit, and then we'll just know to not go over that when creating new names. But whatever the case, we need more room there.
I also thought of adding a second line underneath there to fit a title.
Maybe certain quests or achievements would give you titles (they wouldn't do anything; they'd just be cool to have), like "the Diligent" or "Dragonbane."
It could maybe be done through the achievement system (I have lots of ideas for that when we're ready to talk about it, by the way).

First one would be cool, but not critical to add in the game.

Second two should be fixed in the new source. Or could easily be fixed anyways.

I want more player slots! I mean, there was no limit in some old release, but now! Only few characters! That's the most important thing, I think.

It's not that there's a limit.
It just only displays a certain number.
And I agree; that number is far, far too low.

At 1024x768, and even 800x600, there's plenty of room for more.

Yeah, and that's what we need. More display.
