Will there be bosses? I had an interesting idea for a boss that might fit well into the theme of the new game. It actually features an element of the Twinrova battle from the Legend of Zelda games. My idea was that he'd be a demon of some kind who would start out in spirit form. He would warp ar

Hi Bryan, Exactly. I like the idea of adding more strategy and options to the game play, combat, and traps. For example, let us say you have a roaring fire, and you happen to have some kind of container with you. Oh, you remembered the under ground lake you saw a couple of rooms back. Run back,

I personally think there should be a few bosses, perhaps every few levels or so. Helps to break up the monotony. One could be say a more powerful undead warrior, another could be like a stone guardian of some kind, while a third could be a demon who started out in spirit form and you had to hit

Hi Shaun, The new game will still have climbable ropes. Historically speaking ancient peoples did know how to make ropes. In South and Central American cultures they made their ropes out of hemp. For the uninitiated that is the same plant we get marijuana from. Which could get real interesting

Hi Shaun, Well, one game that I am thinking of using loosely as my mottle is Castlevania I. In the original CV for NES there were a number of weapons you could pickup including leather whips, chains, a dagger, a throwing knife, and holy water. The holy water was cool, because it was quite effec
