[Poll] Do you think RM2K/3 will ever die off completely?
[Poll] Do you think RM2K/3 will ever die off completely?
I skipped 2K3 and went straight from 2K to XP. XP will last forever, 2K3 probably will as a niche but not as a legitimate tool.
(I, on the otherhand, shall always be a legitimate tool)

The Top RM Games Of All Time
It's amazing how many MASSIVE GAMES never spread between sites. There's so much to be discovered :o I've never heard of most of the first post to be honest.
How the Heck do you Design a Town?
Consider what a town is.
It is either:
1. A meeting place for local hamlet dwellers with a legal market
2. A roadside dwelling offering services to passing travelers
3. An amalgamation of existing small dwellings
Use that as a basis to design your town.
In option 1, you will have a market place as the centre. There will probably be services for that market place: a tavern, etc. Some sort of authority, maybe large enough for a town hall (but probably not).
In option 2 your town will be linear (unless it's a crossroads) with most shops facing the road. Dwellings will be down alleyways off this, so as to maximise the frontage space.
In option 3 you just have a clusterfuck of buildings with no real centre. It's bad town planning, and you'll end up with a bad town, but one designed to be badly designed, if that makes sense.
