Well, what kind of artwork assets are we looking at? I think it'd be fun to do something a bit childish, turning into a squirrel and going into a tree, then underwater as a turtle, within dungeons having to turn into each of those to go through holes and cross moats, that sort of thing, maybe?
Plus, I think I am more in for quests, and I might be willing to do some mapping if it's orthognal/Zeldaish more than isometric/Diabloesque.
I would find the shapeshifting more interesting. Would the easiest way to implment that be with items that got picked up that when cast gave you certain forms, like bat form, pig form, whatever?
Temporarily derailed by a busy work schedule and Diablo 3, but hatching some story ideas for goblin_manor. I fiddled around with Altea's and Gretel's graphics today as well, but I have a terrible eye for color, and their colorings look completely out-of-touch with the rest of the atmosphere. I also looked into adding a mitre to the Zombie Priest, or a recolor, but my modest GIMP skills are wicked intimidated by the idea of redoing all 48 or 72 or however-many frames.
The google code page is out of date in at least a few ways... Look around at my posts for some hints. Example, for a [layer], don't use the attribute "id", it's "type", and enemies don't use "spawnpoint", it's "location". When it doubt, check out the existing files.
If you want to check out the latest news for FLARE, the best place to look is usually clintbellanger.net/rpg. The config screen is in the works right now, being worked on by several folks. All of what you've mentioned is being worked on, but you can check out the ongoing config screen discussion at https://github.com/clintbellanger/flare/issues/335 FLARE is still in alpha, so features are being reworked and added all the time!
Refinement still needs to happen on these frontier quests, but do people think I should add one or two more, or start filling other maps (eg Averguard Keep. Ydrakka pass)?

Ooo, sounds like fun, Pennomi! Let me know what kind of flavor you're thinking about and I'll see what I can do.

Pen, do you have that goblin manor as the .tmx as well?
A white dress for Altea would be awesome.

Sure! Just toss me a map and some teleport locations and I'll see what I can put together.

I'll have to check - I think she actually tells you to bug off, which is a bit counterproductive!
