Conversely, how much would you pay for a complete suite of game development tools, web and game hosting, and advertisement in a convenient bundle?

Graal's got a great idea it's selling poorly - Graal as a game is kinda middling, Graal as a development platform has promise, Graal as an engine AND hosting service...you just can't get that, Java's not gonna host your game, C# isn't gonna let you use their upgraded accounts database at any percentage...

But I digress.
Graal3D Might be cool. There are a bunch of times in 2D levels I wish I coulda moved the camera for a 3D change-up. If they make it easy to port 2D to 3D (as in, "Here's the overworld...okay, this is the interior to this house...this is what's on the second floor...I guess the chests and beds are normal-height..."), BOOM, instant content.
But who can know the mysteries of Stefan's mind? He'll tell us what he'll tell us, and until then he'll tell us to not worry, it's a surprise, he's got it all taken care of. And I'll complain that I don't have much faith in that, as usual, and he'll impress me and I'll apologize, as usual, Eventually.
