Oopse sorry, sent the other mail by mistake (hand slip).
As I was saying I really like the alternate mode, it really makes the game
strategic and the exploration matter since you can't just expect to wait
and have your slaves build you everything.
The developer also asked me to publicize the alternate ending, which is
also why I'm writing to the list.
While he's said he prefers to keep the game at the length and pace it is
and so doesn't plan to add any extra content such as extra weapons etc, he
is thinking of more games, that's again why wratings would be good.
I'll see if I can do a review tomorrow when I get back to my flat and my
wireless keyboard, provided you don't still need face book for them (one
reason I've never rating king of dragon pass or Solara).
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Although I haven't completed the game yet, I have really enjoyed playing
it
and once completed will definitely go online and rate the game. Thanks
for
the info about the alternate ending, I wouldn't have thought of trying
that
otherwise but look forward to giving that a go. Did you ever work out if
stoking the fire in the main room played any part in the game? I've tried
keeping it stoked and leaving it to die but it doesn't seem to change
anything either way
Paul

Subject: [Audyssey] A dark room, alternative ending and developer thoughts
I sent a mail to the developer of A dark room, to firstly say I liked the
game and particularly the access, and to ask about possible expantions or
future plans.
He (I believe the name Amir is a man's name), said that he didn't plan to
expand the game since he felt the current length was as he wanted. however
he is thinking of more games, possibly even a prequal, though he'd
appreciate people to give the game good reviews and publicity.
One thing he did tell me though which I am trying now, is that the game
has
an alternative ending, which is tantamount to a different play mode. to
get
it, you need to complete the game without building a singlehut! that's
right, no slaves at all! this obviously means you need to explore and
battle
for all your materials, which changes gameplay around.
The only annoying part is that to unlock the first exploration stage you
actually need to build traps, which is a rather long process just by
gathering 20 wood a pop, (nobody said this was an easy mode).
I'm trying it now, just because I did rather enjoy this game, and I can
see
the alternate ending being quite a challenge to get since it needs far
more
exploring.
The developer did state he's looking for 5 star reviews, so if people like
the game perhaps they can contribute, to encourage the developer to do
more
in the same style, or perhaps even something more ambicious next time,
(last
I checked you needed facebook to write a review so annoyingly I couldn't,
but when I am back at my flat with my bluetooth keyboard I'll try again).
Beware the grue!
Dark.
