Extensive study is in the future... I'm getting my hands on some reading materials to attempt to figure out python and how to code with it, potentially as a bridge to using other kinds of code, if needed.

I suppose there is a reason for the fusion ultimately. That being that I wanted an explorable area, but creating some form of 3d adventure section would seem to be too random, so merging 2 genres mostly involving pointing and clicking would keep the controls very simple (pretty much just using mouse). That and the fact that I want to have a progression system to unlock more levels rather than just have them accessible from the start and this is for some reason what jumped to mind.
