King Haybol I was thinking about your point and it gave me some ideas! I think I could actually use my game "skins" idea to make a design that's visually more appealing to younger players. a flashy fancy interface, modern color schemes for RPGs, a totally visual/graphical tech tree, and even some ideas to make the battles visual with little troops and everything... I can do it lol. Just need to get the time for it, summer project 
And then I got another idea for what @Jaxx was talking about with helping new players. I wanna get a version of Clippy for Thard - a new player advisor that will pop up and offer to take the player throughout the game to explain each section and give various advice and strategies. Maybe even integrate an AI into it that's trained specifically to teach noobs so they can even ask the advisor questions.
