It would take looots of work :P and are their actually enough buttons on xbox to handle the way mir plays?
Lots and lots of work, i think theres is and is one of the things ive not set out fully yet, X,Y,B are spells with the right bumper bringing up a window the change them to different spells.Right trigger Walk/Run with up on the dpad changing them over. Im mostly likely going to make them configurable to what eva u want also.

Lets see how long yukatree will stick with this.
Well its kinda a summer project im working on other things in a group so its not top of the list.

PS3 sucks IMO
Right on

Ambitious idea but good luck!. The only trickey thing as other said would be assigning spells, you could have some for example that use a combo of buttons or the click on the left/right joysticks to bring up a different spell set.

However Wemade wont be very happy if you use thier graphics for players/spells etc. Spells no problem I can knock one up in a few hours and i can probably rig up a skeleton and use a basic human body model or something.

For buildings and the environment, Could you place larger images - say PNG's so you can use the alpha channel, without them disapearing if you can only see a portion like mir does? If so new graphics will be a breeze.

To be honest, as long as you dont charge for download/gameplay, they wouldnt bother with you.

Give us a mir to play over live, it would be awesome.

This would be pretty awesome if you actually got it finished.

Imagine talking to like 50 different people at the same time in safezone.

16 Spells is easly doable. Now on the controller you have X Y B A, thats 4, Now lets say you could hold down right trigger, and X Y B A become a set of new spells, thats 8, now lets say you hold down left trigger, X Y B A become new spells, thats 12, and you could do the same with the right button thing to have another 4 to make 16.
