Hello gamers, First, I'd like to start by clearing up a bit of confusion I made during my future of USA Games inquiry. Montezuma's Revenge is well on schedule, and I was not, nor am I planning on disrupting the development of Montezuma Revenge by switching programming languages mid development. Montezuma's Revenge in particular has come to far to be changed to a new language at this point, and I am personally satisfied with how well it is coming development wise. That inquiry about future USA games development inquiry was meant to address games that are developed after Monty and Raceway 1.0 hit an Internet sight near you, and is selling.So let's get to the good news. Second, during the past week many bugs were located, and hopefully fixed in Alpha 2. In Alpha 1, for example, sometimes some of the keys would not be deleted from your inventory when you opened a door. I think I have located the source of this annoying bug and fixed it. Third, also as of this week two weapons can now be found in temple 1. There is a whip and a sword for you to find and use against the enemy skulls, snakes, and spiders. As this feature was largely requested and I did not feel it would not overly change the spirit and originality of the game play I placed one of each weapon in the temple to find and used. However, like the original Monty each weapon can only be used once before being removed from your inventory. Fourth, since the temple had to be built and redrawn from scratch to match the original dimensions of the Alchemy version some items did make a slight move to somewhere else in the temple. For example, the gems found in room 10 now moved to room 13. This was mainly do to miner changes in the arrangements in the walls, stone staircases, and other changes in the temple layout. Fifth, some miner keyboard changes are in the works. C will speak your coordinates, w will speak the weapons you are carrying, k announces the keys you have, p announces the amount of potions you are carrying, and d now drinks a potion. More about the keyboard will be announced in the user manual. Finally, I did say Montezuma's Revenge is right on schedule. That is I am hoping to release an upgrade anytime between mid February to early March if all goes well. I don't want to make a mistake of giving an exact day or hour as allot can change between now and then so I am hoping to make a bit of a two week bit of leeway to give myself time to track down last minute bugs, changes, etc...
