Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar takes point in an effort to continue pretending to know what he's doing.

Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar strolls into the lobby after a hearty breakfast. He flashes a wide grin to the occupants as he strolls to join the party.

The RGC thread is that way ->

I am considering making a game that is essentially Actraiser, but with dungeon crawling instead of action stages. If any of you fine people wants to join me for town-building times, now is the time to do it!

"Stuck to the bottom of the table? It was probably just left here by a previous occupant." Holy Saint Akbar al-Akbar slathers some honey on a piece of bread and jams it into his mouth. Crumbs fly everywhere as he adds, "Besidsh, shoo should trutht in al-Akbar and not in man." He ...

I'm actually to the point where I'm thinking about programmatically generated maps just so that I won't have to do it tile-by-tile. Bonus: what can be done to make the map editor easier to use?
