Hi Charles, Quote It seems that floating gems were in one of the beta versions we've worked with, weren't they? There was one somewhere. End quote
Yes, that is correct. During the Alpha series I was following James North's notes, and back then I placed the gem objects where he placed them. When I started over redesigning the levels I placed the gems in the most accessible locations, but discovered I didn't have enough gem objects to place near ropes, and in other locations I wanted to hide them. Since I was working on the fast track I decided what I would do is leave this feature out of 1.0, but release a 1.2 version in 2008 with more gems, gold coins, any necessary bug fixes, etc that would address things I wanted done but didn't get done during the 1.0 stable release. Quote Also, a neat idea on what you mention about the game starting over and getting harder would be that you can start the game on the easiest skill level and, after you finish, it starts on normal. If you make it to the end, you start on the next level of skill and so on.If you finish on the highest difficulty, you beat the game. End quote Charles, I simply love this idea. Assuming I reconfigured the game to operate this way you would have a total of 44 levels to play. Everyone would begin on easy, but in order to complete the game they would have to get to level 44 which is 4 times harder than level 11, and it would be one tough game to beat. Also with the big disscussion of bosses there could be a boss on level 11, level 22, level 33, and level 44. Each time you get to that point the boss skull gets stronger and stronger each time you kill him and he returns in a higher level. By level 44 you are in some deep, deep, deep, you know what. <Grin> Not to mention playing 44 levels can you imagine the score values you would accumulate? It would be several million points. --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] You can make changes or update your subscription via the web, at http://audyssey.org/mailman/listinfo/gamers_audyssey.org.
