Hi Tom.
As I've said before, this is your project and you should do what you wish
with it.
My concern however is that you are one of the few people on this list who
have a clear idea of what a 2D game should be like.
As comments like Michael's suggest, most people believe soemthing like Q9 is
what a propper 2D game should be, which is not the case.
Even Perilous hearts, which is ndeed more advanced, stil is missing several
crucial mechanics, for instance jumping from ledge to ledge (I only noticed
vine climing and swining), and also environmental features such as attacks
from above and below or jumping to ledges higher or lower than your current
position.
No, it doesn't have to be Mota. A castlevania esc game would indeed foot the
bill, however there is the fact that mota is already to some extent
complete, as is the side scroller engine upon which it is based.
a remaking of the game in 3D would take even more time, and a side scroller
written from scratch at some vague point in the future more time stil.
this is my concern. I've deleted about 30 odd pages from the db for games
that were proposed and never finished, and I'd hate to see another side
scroller added to that list, to be replaced with some possible future game.
It'd imho be quite sad to see current progress completely lost , especially
when it seems your so close to finishing once again.
This is however your project ultimately, and I'll support your decision
whichever way it goes.
Finally however I will say I am rather impatient to see usa games release a
title, even more especially because there have been so many unintentional
delays, and now that Mota is so close to finishing, part of me is quite
disappointed that we don't get the game and there will be yet another delay
while you rewrite things once again, this time in 3D, which will probably be
fraught with even more confusion.
That is for me yet another concern.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
