Probably, but it just didn't make sense to me to have it say paused when the little tone should be ample indication. Or maybe you could write it in as a toggle in the options menu. Then you could satisfy both groups. But that could probably wait until after the main release. But at least you removed Alchemy's pause message. As I said that was one thing I hated about Alien Outback. I also feel you should come up with your own USA Games exit message instead of using ESP's, even if it then just said thanks for playing Montazuma's Revenge. That's what the Alpha and the first few Betas did and I liked that a lot better. It felt like the game was really yours. Since you're making this game entirely your own I don't feel you should have to use the previous developer's sound files. But that's just my opinion. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 4:48 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Monte beta thoughts
