Hi Dark, Lol...that's not a patch, that's a whole new program! <Grin> Seriously though, I do like your suggestions, just not sure how implementable they are.

Firstly, I do agree about monsters falling into pits, sinse it seems waaaaaay unfair really, pluss it would make tactics in fighting creatures more important. To compensate for this though, how about adding some more floor obstacles such as thorny bushes which must be jumped, but which the various creatures (due to their thick fur), could run streight through. These could be designated by the same mud boundary as pits, but then a tree ratling in the wind sound. You might considder other obstacles such as pools of mud which slow your movement so that enemies could get you (very nasty with those wolves), or some static enemies which do lots of damage to you and in turn take lots of hitting to kill, say for example snakes. In the extra enemies point, I do think those bats are rather cool in the way you must jump to hit them, however they are rather easy to kill given that they can't attack you unless you yourself are jumping. you might considder therefore adding an enemy which flies like the bats and must be attacked with a jump, but which dives down and attacks you once it reaches your level, ---- say vultures or croes as an example. You might also considder some unkillable hazards similar to the ones superliam, ---- or indeed the monkeys stage of Tarzan jr had, such as rolling or falling boulders, spouting water or flames from the ground which need to be run past, or (for extra nastiness), pop out of pits so that you need to time your jumps carefully. To balance matters with new enemies, you might considder new weapons or power ups for the player, ---- such as: spears: longer reach than the club (but not as much as the sling), however not as powerful (useful for attacking those snakes I mentioned sinse you don't need to be close). Dynamight: blows things up close to you (but obviously you don't get many). Deus rockit: flies in the air and blows up bats or other airborn enemies without you needing to jump. potions: kept in inventory to be used with the p key when needed (fewer than simple extra strength power ups). tracter beam: activated with a single key press (eg the shift key), if used when an item is falling, grabs the item wherever it is, without you having to run under it. I'll also say, some extra bosses would be awsome, sinse the one we've got is certainly fun but I'm sure others could be added, but I'm not certain how major a change you were planning, ---- these are of course just suggestions. I'll look forward to seeing the new patch. All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yohandy" <yohand...@gmail.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2010 11:21 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Q9 upcoming patch > If Philip goes with the food and drinks idea, perhaps they could be stored > in an inventory for later consumption?
