He is here... -29°
what follows is a series of questions:
Is there going to be a way to change the lighting in CGE? So I could I set it up like in FF9, where you walk into certain areas and the lighting changes gradually( I want to create a land of eternal twilight).
If I wanted to have a 3/4 overhead view so you could see some of the horizon,could I? (that way the lighting effect would be more dramatic w/ the moon hanging in the distance)
Also If I wanted to have an overlay/tint on the screen when spells were cast,could it be done? (like the screen fades to black with nothing there but the spell effect and the target, like when a monster is summoned in FF.)
If I wanted to have the map visible from the worldscreen, overlayed/imposed on the world screen,could I? (like a transparent P.I.P. on the TV)
Is it possible to make a world (not a continent or land) meaning, if I wanted to have the whole thing connected,an actual globe, (one huge map,would I need the 'teleport' event action?)(b). For example... I want it like: you fly east from Japan and arrive in California. Not: I have to go east all the way across europe, Africa,pastS.America, then go from the atlantic,2000 miles and then be in California.

hehe...someone's a big FF7 fan I'll hand this over to Dee (wherever he may be), mainly because I don't know.

About the horizon, it might be possible to make an interface for the world map that has the sky at the top, so to create the illusion of an actual horizon built into the map itself. Ofcourse I'm not a beta tester so don't take my word for it.
you can certainly fake that. that's really just a graphics matter, and not an engine issue: make a horizon/sky + moon on your map, and just don't extend the movement tiles to cover that area.
if you're talking about a live horizon -- one that turns with you, etc... then my answer is no, it's not possible. but I'm not really "in the know" on that sort of thing.
your questions 1 and 3 can be solved with the same device: allowing multiple layers of map graphics, some of which on top of the player. whether or not this is possilbe, I don'r know yet. however, from what I've seen, I don't think it is. we'll see soon enough.

I am well aware of the ability of creating pseudo graphics, and illusions, however that's not what I'm interested in doing, I want the real thing or atleast the a bility to overlay a transparency. (on the topdown graphics, to give the appearance of a sunset or a sunny day).
I would like to hear from DEE.

Can you create a moving layer, to illustrate the effect of lens or sun flares?
