We're planning to do a TILE-BASED (Easier to implement than other systems
such as 3d) game like Final Fantasy.  Meaning that we want to do some sort
of story-based game with a tile-based graphics engine.  Limits are slim to
none.  Just think in terms of 2d instead of 3d.

We could still have space travel.  Tile-based just means a way of 2d
graphics system.

I personally liked the idea about Raymond Hoff's idea of the government
meeting a future woman who tells about an event that takes place and you
have to stop it.  Interesting.

	I did not mean to mislead.  My comments were totally unrelated to
the project being discused.
	I have just thought of doing something in the HH universe along
with a more construction oriented aspect.
