T3D RPG Kit, Who wants one?

Digital Shock Network and Last Straw Games
Are now working side by side to bring the first full out Tradditional style RPG kit to T3D. With many months of coding we have been able to come up with a base foundation to create such kit. With Last Straw now joinning forces with Digital Shock, we will now be able to work much faster to creating a fully user friendly and working RPG kit. We are still doing some planning and changes to best suit the T3D platform.
What will it include?
We have a large plan scope already mapped out, but we will be introducing a more simplified version to start to see where the community wants to take it.
Will it be a simple genre kit similar to the previous kits out there?
No, not at all. This will be quite a heavily modified version of T3D, still following the core system of T3D. Taking advantage of the new T3D editor, we will now be able to allow users to create full length RPG games all directly through the editor. With our Event Commands, users will barely need to script at all. But of course for advance users, that will be an option.
Can you break down what you plan for this kit? How is this different from the other MMORPG kit?
The difference between the kits is quite huge. Our kit will have a full toolset of functions specified for an Linear style RPG, similar to FFX or any other Japanese Style RPG. We will also plan to include a few bonus functions such as a full functionning camera system, that can take advantage of our EventCommands to create full length cut scenes, all through the editor! This kit will also include(future version), a complete customizable battle system, which can be fully scripted, and saved as moduels. This means users can possible create their custom scripts and redistribute them later. We also plan to have a few basic pre-scripted battle systems in play, which are modifiable. For future release of any other style battle systems may be available for sale on the dev store. More Details on how exactly what will be in this kit will be posted soon in my blog page.

I did some research on the 3D adventure kit and see what you guys are talking about 495 for kit and 5k to publish. And have already thought up good pricing ways for indie guys to use. I won't go into details, as we are not at that stage yet. I will most definitely keep that in mind. :) Any other thoughts or questions regarding this kit?

Fortunately as you can see from the same page linked before it seems there's another similar project, I hope it will come out...
It's a pity to see everytime all this dev hours (we can say months) wasted and not a project finished... I think over the years so many hours have been spended on various RPG KIT projects that a very good one could have came out..

J, i think this project has been unfotunately canceled as you can understand from this...Fortunately as you can see from the same page linked before it seems there's another similar project, I hope it will come out...
