Style of gameplay

[Donutslayer7]

Which do you prefer:
overview, side-scrolling, tactics/SRPG(grid-based), scrolling overview, first person?

I'm making an engine for overview style of gameplay and not sure if I want to implement scrolling, so I want to hear your opinions

I'm not going to use your engine if you don't make it versatile. Gosh.

Uhm, dude, every single one of the mentioned styles/genres use/have used scrolling.

tactics/SRPG(grid-based)

Are you talking about isometric?

But regardless, as Gyro said, you can implement scrolling with any of those. It's not really a matter of preference, it's a matter of meeting the needs of those who will be using your engine. If you plan on using your engine for more than one project, I'd strongly consider implementing scrolling if I were you.

okay, I get the picture, maybe I'm thinking of something else, but...

I'm not going to use your engine if you don't make it versatile. Gosh.

...and you expect to use my engine...honestly?

You're correct. I'd much rather use a commercial one with years of development behind its belt.

Fair enough, fair enough, what you say is true.
