Hi Tom,
Yeah, I definitely understand where you were coming from. For example,
yesterday afternoon I was writing up descriptions in Windows Notepad
and so I tried to describe a diamond. I know what one looks like in my

That true. But could you say only have the thing that's closest to
you be described? I think that could work, potentially... especially
with sounds giving you clues as to what items are in the room.

That is fair enough... but I personally would be willing to wait for
that. If it means waiting for a revampled version of the game and
upgrading, I'd be perfectly happy to do that. I just think the
scrolls should have something other than nothing. lol.

Hi,
Hi tom.
i actually like the direction your taking with Mota here. As I've said
before, it was the atmosphere of shades of doom and the large amount of area
to explore as much as it's evil monsters and full first person gameplay
which got me interested in audio games in the first place.

That seems fine to me. So long as you're within a certain distance of
an object, it gets examined and described. That's what you're
intending, if I'm correct. I think that saves a lot of talking and
listing, and allows the game to move at a faster pace... since you
won't be pausing for 3-5
