Hi Cara,
That makes sense, and you are absolutely right that the short
attention span issue is a very important one for many gamers. Many
people want a game that is able to be picked up, played for a short
while, set down, and picked up again with ease. there are many games
like that which are
Hi Cara,
Yes, precisely. During my development of Montezuma's Revenge and later
Mysteries of the Ancients I ran into a number of cases where something

solution in all

Ahem...I didn't mean to imply telegraphing attacks was only useful in

I fully well agree that the achievement system and short levels of games can
help a game's appeal a lot. I also do agree that the more a game can vary

Hi Tom.
I agree on casual games, but there are also cases where the very size of
levels is what makes them appealing such as the Metroid series, or indeed
complex muds like Alteraeon.
In these cases this is where instant saving can help a lot, even if the over
all level is much larger.
