I tend to agree with Thomas here. I was one of the ones in favor of the 3D
game when he posted about it.
I want you...to go upstairs...and kill that boy!

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] MOTA Arcade mode.
Hi Ryan,
Actually, when I originally came up with the idea for Mysteries of the
Ancients I never intended it to be a side-scroller or arcade game to begin
with. When I found out I wasn't going to be able to release Montezuma's
Revenge do to copyright issues I began working on Tomb Hunter Mysteries of
the Ancients. When I announced the new game would be a 3d FPS title
instead of a classic side-scroller I got quite a lot of heated replies
back on the subject. Some felt I was being dishonest or at the very least
I would be creating a game they neither wanted or paid for etc. So the
compromise was to add the arcade mode into the Genesis Engine, something I
absolutely hated from the start, and modify the engine to handle 2d
side-scroller levels instead of a full 3d environment. That really soured
me on the project from the outset, and i decided when creating the cross
platform engine to remove everything I didn't like about the Windows
Engine. Now, that I have decided to port Mysteries of the Ancients over to
Mac OS it appears most of the people are in favor of putting all that code
back into the engine. I can do it, but it will take time adding all that
extra code, and it will take time yanking every single line of it back out
when the game is released. Sorry about the rant, but I'm not overly
thrilled about adding code in to my game engine, and then have to spend
just as much time yanking it all out again a few months later. It is
fairly well known that i am not a huge fan of arcade games these days, and
what I really want is a good high quality Ferst Person Shooter, and I've
been denied that all thanks to taking orders for a game I can not legally
create now.
Smile.

Hi Tom,
I prefer the Arcade mode when I'm trying to get used to the game. Plus, I
feel that if you take away arcade mode, it'll take away from some classic
feeling of the game.
