Lotsa questions!

[Nova]

1. How customizable is the the menu interface? For a new game I'm working on, I'd like the main menu to be a notebook with flippable pages. Is this doable? (eg. Costume Quest)

2. Is there any file size limit to an XP game? Like, does it have to be under 800mb, or is it unlimited?

3. Does anyone know of any christmas objects/characters resource kits? My new project revolves around Chrismas as kids try to save it! (I would love not having to make basic things like Christmas trees, Wreaths, Lights, etc myself.)

4. Is it possible to include pictures of items when your scrolling through the item page? (ex. Tales of series)

5. How difficult (in your opinion) would it be to program in a card game similar to that of Triple Triad in FFVIII? Albeit, without the rules like Same and Plus. Just a basic numeral system.

1) The menu is actually driven by creating windows, so pretty much every part of it is completely customizable via coding. I'm not real experienced with manipulating pictures onscreen, so this would be difficult for me, but probably pretty easy for people with more experience. It's definitely doable. I think it's a cool idea, by the way.

2) No file size limit that I know of. There are some huge games out there.

3) I don't know of any, but look around, I'm sure they're out there. Or just find free, unrestricted images on the web, and import them as PNGs or add them to your tilesets in Photoshop.

4) Pretty sure this is possible. Same kind of thing as #1.

5) Difficult, I'd imagine, especially with the ability to choose a deck. But definitely doable. Check out the Hexabattle system in Eternal Grace for something similar. And if I'm not mistaken I think they adopted that from a system that's already out there.
