Since gfx and maps for the new mapengine should be more or less
compatible with the final game (at worst the mapfiles might need to be
converted by some utility, but remaking them should be a thing of the
past) any locations we make now for demos we can keep around as they are
all in the same world. They may be isolated from each other now but over
time we can make the missing maps inbetween and have them in the final
game for players to explore. I think that would be nice as a) it means
our work now isn't wasted and b) when players play latere demos or the
finished game it will surely bring fond memories back to them if they
stumble across an old village or character from a previous game.
I'd really like to, in 0.4 or later, walk into a pub and meet a half-elf
called Banec, who when I talk to him tells me about an adventure he had
a few years ago in a place called Waste's Edge :) I think occasional
things like that would be nice touches! (unfortunately Banec would need
to be remade in the new size but any new characters from now on ought to
be reusable)

Together with lots of mini-games the game will be so much fun!
