yea I've heard of people using the text blitter object (I *think* thats what it was, I've never used it) to display their sprites, through some trickery, which apparently will work much better than displaying the loaded background as 625 active objects.

My biggest problem with gridquest was that that 9x9 matrix took up 81 objects on its own, and TGF has a 256 limit, so there were TONS of object limit issues, especially when particle effects came into play. I suppose if you figured out the text blitter you might be able to do it more efficiently. I've never messed with the bugger so I wouldn't know

ask podunkian what he was using to display the tiles in his engines

I'm still working on the engine.

That little colourful target you see with the word "Water" above is the object that helps you cast spells and other things like that.

I'm going to draw the character later this week. This one is more of a placeholder.

Those backgrounds look classy, but the character sprite could use some work.
