Hi tom.
I'll be looking forward to the possibility of a dodge move, sinse imho the
damage per second system where you just automatically take damage as you hit
the creature has several problems.
When I said "dodge" i did mean that, ---- ie, having to move around, duck
and possibly jump, ---- provided that there is always a possibility of
avoiding enemy attacks if your good enough with your controls.
I've noticed that the sterrio panning of game elements in Mota is much more
precise than it was in Monti (presumably down to all your engine debugging),
which is why I thought such a dodge system might be workable.
Beware the Grue!
Dark.

Hi Dark,
We have plans to upgrade the enemy AI for the game. Hopefully when we get
done you should have more ability to dodge attacks, but on the other hand
remaining in one place for too long, such as crouching, can get you
killed. So we are hoping to get that done fairly soon.

Hi Tom.
Sounds like a good idea.
One thing I've noticed though in Mota is you get hit immediately as the
sound of the enemy's attack plays, ---- unless you are ducking, there is
no option to here it and jump backwards or duck. There is certainly an
option to move betwene the enemy's attacks, ---- ie, stand up and run
backwards (which was how I squat jumped past the cyclopse), but at the
moment it does seem if you here an attack, your pretty much hit unless
ducking.
I would personally like to see a possibility of dodging enemy attacks
rather than just being hit and using healing potions, ---- of course such
dodging shouldn't be easy, but imho having the possibility to complete
the game without taking a single hit is one of the nicer challenges about
games with energy meters, ----- one reason I'm such a Mega man fan.
You ccould even iconsidder some sort of reward to the player, ---- such
as a damage bonus.
Of course, this depends upon how you've coded the attacks, and whether
you've coded them with the possibility of an avoidence modifyer, ie,
ducking or jumping, ---- not to mention a sound indicator to show when
the enemy is swinging high or low, ----- or more correctly a sound
indicator when the enemy is swinging low, sinse obviously they'll start
off swinging high and their default sounds would indicate such.
Just some thoughts on the challenge factor.
I'll look forward to the next beta.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
