Can I make a comment/suggestion?

Since you're going to base it off of the Iris engine, I think it would be a much better use of time and effort if you made the level layout and camera placement more like Dynasty Warriors and 99Nights. The side scroller style will take away from the flexibility of the engine, in my opinion. Or if you could make both formats possible, I think we could see a wider range of mods.

Personally I like Dynasty Warriors type games more than Double Dragon type games. I think DW games are the next evolution of the DD games and we should continue with that forward progress.

However, to preserve the possibilities for both something along these lines might work:

A DD type game could be made with a map with very little depth and a flag that would set the camera in an optimal position.

A DW type game would have a different camera flag set and a larger map.

Then if we can also set flags to allow weapons or not and whether or not those weapons are persistant across levels that would let us further seperate the DW and DD without requiring too much additional programming on the part of the modders.

Sorry if some of my ideas are conflicting or unclear, I thought most of this out as I began typing.

Edit: added a bit of clarification

Rather interesting sudgestion. Actualy the plan was to figure out a new map format to acomplish things but if I go the route you sudgest then quake3 format might be the best method of doing that.

I'll have to look into that idea a bit more.

Actualy I wanted more DD style since DW might be a bit too close to iris.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of Iris as being so close to DW, but now that you mention it, I can see lots of similarities. The weapon styles are the only difference I guess. Except for character advancement. Hmm... I might have to take a look into modding Iris!
