In Response To: RED 1.1: Floating in Agony (Mark Levin)

: This is a very short level, but I still think it could use some tweaking:
: Change the teleporter so that you don't arrive facing a wall. Currently, the
: teleporter is set to move the player to polygon 119, which is directly in
: front of the door into the hangar; since you are facing north when
: speaking to Ian you arrive facing the door and with the monsters behind
: you. I suggest that this be moved to polygon 81, at the south end of the
: hangar. This would give you an immediate view of the contents of the
: hangar, and also give you much more space to work with as you are in a
: large open area with all the monsters on one side of you instead of among
: the crates and surrounded.

For the average player, this would make a BIG difference. I had no trouble with the beam-in point myself, but I guess I'm not the average player :)

: This is more of an aesthetic beef, and I realize we're not trying to change
: Ian's intentions, but I really think the chapter screen before this level
: would be much better after this level. This level wraps up the first
: story arc in the game, and the following level makes a clean break and
: begins the second; in between is a natural place to put a chapter
: transition instead of having it interrupt the climax the way it does right
: now.

I have a suspicion that Ian made a mistake here. I think he either placed the chapter screen at the beginning of the wrong level, or he changed the nature of Floating in Agony after placing the chapter screen, making it more of an ending than a transition level. Agreed - move the chapter screen.
