Hi

So, here we are:

Will you help me on my game?
I need know some things about you like your real-name (propabily Andrew),
your age, current job, etc...
That's only for curiosity.

My game'll be 256 colors (maybe 65352) at all time (of course)
Resolution 640x480 at first part and battle
Resolution 800x600 at the development part (when you construct your cities)

Do yoy think you can help me?

Thanks

Guilherme
