In Response To: RED 1.1: Why did it stop? (Mark Levin)

: Prevent the player from cheating by tabbing the elevator switch through the
: wall and skipping the underground passage.

Too bad I never discovered this trick - now it'll be gone.

: Add a 1x health charger to the corridors immediately after the first pass
: through the elevator shaft.

Strongly agreed

: Change the switch that raises part of the shaft to raise the entire shaft.
: This prevents the player from falling back into the beginning of the level
: and getting trapped; it also provides a bit more space to use when
: clearing the next room.

While I agree in principle, I wonder if this would be changing the feel of the level. That limited space was I think part of Ian's plan. Perhaps there should just be a switch below to lower the platform back down.

: Prevent the exit teleporter and pattern buffer from interfering with each
: other. My new idea for this is that the exit teleporter should be a yellow
: block similar to the ones on G3 Sunbathing, to remove any possible lack of
: recognition later on while the time limit is in effect. This block would
: be placed off to the side of the teleporter, so it is always the player's
: conscious decision to step into it.

Agreed, but I'd rather not change the aesthetics by putting the teleporter to the side. How about having the pattern buffer be in the wall of the hall that leads up to the teleporter. That way, you could save your game before the ambush and you really wouldn't have to deal with the ambush if you were fast enough.
