so I'm not sure how far I'll get with this or if I'll get anywhere at all
but when thinking of the myriad of possibilities for an entry, aside from DDR as an FPS,
I thought it would be cool to play a Warhammer 40K game where the focus is on you as a character either in the various armies or on a quest for greatness (the awe inspiringly powerful lords and commanders must have started somewhere).

so first step for me is to try get a hold of some of the Warhammer 40K lore, I'll probably focus on the legions of chaos, and a nameless warriors rise to prince of chaos.

Its still a fledgling idea so not much is fleshed at the moment but any ideas would be most appreciated.

Oh the one thing I have decided is that its probably going to be in the style of the game boy advance games like tactics ogre or final fantasy tactics.

maybe play with the RPGMaker toolkit and see what you can do with them?

thanks fengol I'll take a look at RPGmaker
and try get it to work. Honestly I'm still leaning towards gamemaker which I know
fairly well, although maybe if I try something designed for making rpg's I might actually finish one. :)
