The one thing I would like to see with the toolset is :
SPEED
The toolset and the game should be considered 2 very distinct and seperate entities, and reusing the module format for the toolset is in my opinion a bad idea...
**NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!**
Please go read any and all articles related to NWN postmortems on gamasutra.com. (Registration is free and relatively painless, and I've received no junk or spam from them)
Unless I'm misinterpreting it, because they kept the Toolset and the Game as separate builds (and on separate compilers no less), it contributed to a large number of bugs, plus the inability to port the toolset to Linux and Mac platforms.
I would imagine the performance would actually be quicker if both projects were more closely knit. Regardless, I think there exists be a better way of making the Toolset performance quicker in comparison to NWN, *WITHOUT* having to complicate the project production screen with muliple projects and/or multiple compilers.
