I'm going to create the engine separate from the game. The game itself will just consist of data files that the engine reads. Almost like the quake engine. Then the engine can be used to make future RTS games. Sound good?

I'll take that as a yes. :P

Creating the engine separate from the game won't have much effect on it, but might have a lot of effect if you want to make a sequel after, so good idea. :)

He went into the DB and set it himself.
He also set himself to the Moderated user group.

Now if I see this post missing then I really will begin to wonder....

PHP doesn't stand for Pre-HTML Processor officially..it means Hypertext Pre-processor...but what you said is basically the same thing.

It doesn't have ot make since PlayingOutpost, it just has to work. If it works, then people won't care what you call it.

Just so you know, I didn't double post, a post got deleted between my two up there.

And we are getting off topic here.....though you could make the game name anything you want, I would suggest not making it what PlayingOutpost suggested in his deleted post.

I know, but I was suggesting not making the game title that either.
