GS2 Curiousity..

[ecuelor]

I had messed around with the level editor awhile back and recently just redownloaded Graal. I was intrigued to find that there was a new scripting system called GS2. However, to my dismay, it seems that the new system is only usable online and as such requires around 100$ to even play with and test stuff. Now this may just be me but wouldn't it be smarter businesswise to allow people to learn the new system in order to hook them into buying a server. I for one am interested in testing out these new functions in order to possibly make a server, however, I wouldn't do so without actually being able to play with the new features to see if they were worth using.

Another related note is that in order to get into a team as a scripter, you'd need to learn to use the fuctions however, not being able to test them on your own means that you are unable to learn which in turn means ya can't join a team with a server that ya need in order to learn. This also seems counter-productive.


Now, I couldn't take too much to strip down a dumbed down npc server and throw it into the level editor/tester in order to allow new scripters/builders the opertunity to learn the system. I'm sure that there would be many more scripters if this were the case as it seems Graal's Scripting system is rather advanced and has many interesting features.

Just some things to think about from an interested fan...
