	In Response To: Re: RED Volunteers: How big's your can? (Steve Levinson) : Not high on my list, but it wouldn't detract from the scenario. This would also serve the same function as the hydroponics room change: Make sure the player realizes it's a terminal. : I don't know - it's a cool effect, but I missed reading the terminal entirely : because of it. Agreed. The terminal also triggers this effect :P : I don't like the aesthetics of having the transporter off to the side. Maybe : instead the teleporter poly should be much more obvious - raise it : slightly and make it a glowing white. The beatle ambush does serve an : important purpose to speed the player up - maybe tone it down a bit. I see your point, but I really don't like having the PB and teleporter right on top of each other. Maybe instead of an "alcove" we could add a yellow platform like the ones on G3 Sunbathing. : Oh, I wouldn't wait until the final room to provide an O2 power-up. Maybe it : could be the only obvious one, but there should be an O2 canister on each : level of the sequence - if nothing else, a secret one - to prevent the : player from becoming trapped with an unplayable saved game. Good idea, but those levels don't really have any contents besides the required path, so it would be hard to add a secret without making new areas. What if we added them to the ammo collections off to the sides of the last level? : That one sounds like it's for me. For both of us- the area was so extensive and the entrance to it so odd it feels like a waste. : Why? There's a pattern buffer just before it, so it's not a suicide trap or : anything. Although I have to admit, the first few times I really did try : to kill the brothers (and as someone else commented, actually succeeded at : least with one of them - something that could really wreck the rest of the : story). I've always rationalized a "death" as "he got bored and flew off" :P You also unavoidably kill Michael in the process of beating the last room on END GAME (he's in there among the Metalloids). : I'll try to think of any other problem areas that need fixing. I think the : question of what to do about the mace will likely dominate the discussion : - at least until you demonstrate something that works. Sadly I don't think there is any way to enforce an upper limit on the player's health in Infinity. It could be added to Aleph, of course, but it's such a specialized feature...
