I am planning on making a 256x256 RPG map, with all of the good elements that really do make it an RPG, which includes an actual story and alot, alot, alot of secrets. It will have only one player and since its going to be a massive file, I am not going to have a way besides DLing it from SEN once its complete.
As for the 'Summoner' aspect, you will have the option to choose from five different Summons. Each of them has a price for not picking a different one, but each has a different difficulty level, if you will. Such as one of them is too good, as it upgrades WITH you, in armor anyway, and is also somewhat powerful. But on the other hand, there is one that isnt really good in any category, but has no limitations as to the missions you can take or to the secrets you can access.
You will also be able to cast spells, but it does cost energy. Some spells also take time to perform, while others are instantaneous. I am planning on having a wide variety of spells for you to access, all of which will cost money for the training you need to recieve to get it.
You will also be able to 'raise' these sort of cat-like horse things that will unlock addtional secrets if you posess them. There will be nine total, some rarer than others. You 'raise' one at a time, by feeding them 12 pieces of 'food'. You have to feed some in a paticular order for it to work. Once you feed them 12, they will become an 'adult' that will be added to a kind of showcase. These will all add to a completion counter that you can check at the main town anytime.
This idea is still being kicked around in the back of my mind. I am not going to add any save feature, so you are going to have to use the Save Game in the SC menu.
Any and all suggestions/critiscisms are welcome.

I like the idea, that your summon is all the time same guy but just more powerful.. And maybe the summon is cpu controlled and uses spells or stuff in combat. And maybe you can give the summon items that it can use?
