Montezuma's Revenge News 3/22/2007
by Thomas Ward Hello gamers, A couple of weeks ago we mentioned that we would be putting out a demo sometime in the month of April. However, some very recent discussions with the test team have revealed a desire to make Montezuma's Revenge as close as possible to the original classic Atari game. After some thought I have agreed to do this, but it does require some substantial changes in the game core to do this. When James North set out to create his version of Montezuma's Revenge it was not a total authentic clone of the game. There were large similarities, most was the same, but some major things were not the same. For example, the temple layouts were not at all the same. When I took up the project I more-or-less used his layouts and not the classic Atari ones. Now, though the test team and I have been discussing this, and we are beginning to agree that classic temple layouts would be the way to go, and that will require some additional time to complete. Some other notable changes between James North's version and the classic game were the number of keys and doors. In James North's version there were four keys and four doors. In the classic there were several blue, green, red, and white keys as well as several matching doors. So the number of keys and doors will have to be increased to make the game more-or-less authentic. We know that many of you truly want a copy of this game soon, and we have worked hard to put out something as soon as possible. However, we also feel the game is based on a classic game, and should imitate the classic game as close to the original without too many additional changes. So please bare with us a little while longer as we work hard to put out an even better version of the game than we already have. At this time we now have decided to call off the April release, and we do not yet have an idea for another target date for Beta 1. It will largely depend on how long it will take us to work on the new temple levels and make changes to the game core. _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
