I've been playing around with cursor, copilot, etc. I think it will be more useful in the game logic stage but for low level systems programming it doesn't seem "there" yet. maybe I just need to hone my prompts, idk yet.

yes isometric but I haven't decided on TBS vs RTS yet. I've heard turn based is actually more difficult to develop and I remember RTwP kind of sucking most of the time iirc.

you like hitting the space bar constantly and switching between char actions/profiles? idk I don't hate it but seems not functionally different from turn-based, just a bit more frantic.

turn based games are fundamentally about turn denial, and this makes them too "gamey". strategy always boils down to "sorry champ, but you don't get to play".

rtwp is superior because everyone acts simultaneously

I think turn based gives it more strategic depth while real time leans towards twitchy/reflex game loops

maybe there's a way to do it that isn't so reductive? I have kind of a unique idea where magic is a debilitating and self-destructive action that forces you to cost/benefit analyze, and every time you use it corrupts and degrades you physically. would probably be tough to implement as real time but not sure atm.

I considered all the engines, but I figure I have plenty of time and none of them are tailored to what I want to do, plus I'd have to worry about licensing and revenue cuts when my Game inevitably becomes a smash success and intellectual darling.
