Actually if you are learning Python you are on the right track. Blade of Darkness was written in Python and it rocks. I believe PhilC is creating characters for an online game, maybe he'll step in and help you out. I will be using Director for a game shortly, just getting into 8.5, but the reason I upped it is because you can now use 3D models in it. Don't give up, but realize that it's not going to be easy. Your characters are going to have to be low poly from what I understand. You might also want to consider using your poser characters in Flash to create an online game. Marque
