Thanks for your answers. A couple of follow up questions if you don't mind.
1. Multiplayer game feature is only server based? Would be ok I guess.
2. Gamestudio is not good for character rendering? Or it's just not capable?
3. But if the game map is fairly small more details can be added, right? Or am I wrong in my thinking?
4. Using 3rd party software sounds complicated and likely to create conflicts.
5. Would you recommed using drop down menues to control motion or keyboard/mouse?

Again, thanks a bunch.
