Larger viewport vs sticking to DN1 'look & feel'?

[davidjoffe]

I feel the game might be more fun with a bit of a larger gameplay viewport (eg could get rid of or shrink the right side and left-/top/bottom greyishbar-border, and the info like inventory and score could become an overlay at bottom or something etc.) ... however the current viewport size is in order to try maintain a DN1 'vibe' ... but OTOH if more people might enjoy the game with a larger viewport (eg if it feels more fn) then why artificially make it less fun? It's a fairly easy change. I'm not sure, either allow this in a 'version 2', or maybe make it a setting, or something. Or maybe the default levels could be sticking to orig viewport size, but allow custom levels to go bigger. I don't know. Not critical.

Updating milestone from 1.0 to "future" as we DO NOT need to deal with this at all now for version 1 - my feeling is that we don't want to break the "spirit" of DN1 gameplay viewport for version 1 of Dave Gnukem - so for version 1 this will just be in as a cheat, and then if/when future games are based off the codebase, can decide then if/how to include it.
