Hi Phil, Well, the way the game mechanics works if Angela's health reaches 0 or less she's stone cold dead regardless if she just drank a potion or not. As for the feeling better message I've already rewritten the game to play that particular message file after she reaches 100% health. Not before

Hi Dark, Oh, I know. I happen to agree with you that the idea is pretty far fetched for a game like Mysteries of the Ancients as it seams unlikely that a normal person like Angela Carter could pick up magic gemstones or scrolls and start wielding magic. Plus it just doesn't fit the treasure

Hi, Well, the way I just added it to the engine the moment you start taking damage it stops healing and you begin taking damage. I could however change it for this instance to put it on a timer to heal for a certain length of time regardless of damage since this is a magic potion and not a normal

Hi Dark, Well, i guess what I'm aiming for is a greater degree of realism. It doesn't really add much to the game per say, but it would make it more realistic in that having a potion take some time to completely heal Angela rather than an instant reset of health and strength values back to

Hi Ryan, Well, I can say for sure that Mysteries of the Ancients won't allow you to take items from fallen enemies. Although, I do have a game in the works where this feature will get used in order to get arrows, potions, etc as you progress through the game world. However, since it isn't off the

that way where it takes time to restore is ok by me it just means I need to wait some. ONe issue I have is when you press control t for torch numbers but don't have any torch a torch will be used. if you are telling it that you want to check the numbers but you use a torch it doesn't probably

I like your approach to the issue. Medication does not take immediate effect when you swallow it, and healing potions should act the same way. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010

Hi Thomas, This sounds like a good approach indeed, however I have one question. How do you react to a situation where the good lady falls under attack whilst healing? Does she keep gaining health until she is up to full health, or do you set a maximum increase amount that it will not go

Hi Charles, That's basicly what i was thinking of. Any time I take some kind of medication I have to wait a few minutes for it to begin taking effect. I would think healing potions would similarly have to take some amount of time to take effect. It could be something as short as a minute or two

Hi, That works provided the room you are exploring has no enemies in it. The way the game is randomized now you never really know who is going to be behind door number 1, door number 2, and door number 3. So as far as I am concerned Angela better cool her heals somewhere safe until she is healthy

Hi Philip, The way I invision this working is having the potion gradually increase Angela's health over a certain period of time before it is expended. So if she comes under attack she will probably lose more health than she gains using that potion as it will only restore a certain amount of

H Tom. While your idea is great about having the health meter slowly regenerate after drinking a potion, I think that you should do what a lot of games also do. Have different levels worth of potion, so that one has to choose which one to use. Say, one potion that restores 25% health, another

Hi Shaun, The pistol has a fairly decent range. I believe it is set to 100 which is around 33 meters in real measurements. Since there are no rooms currently that large you shouldn't have to get in too close to attack any enemy. However, as of beta 13 enemies can dodge attacks and centaurs can

I like your alternative option where it would take a bit of time to apply it's effect, but also that it shouldn't necessarily restore full health - old one is if you're very thirsty, drinking half a glass of water won't do the same as a whole glass. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype:
