: Of course, if we did this, it would more or less remove the
: secretive nature of the recharge feature.
The problem as I see it is that if we make this the standard method of recharge, players may not - will not - realize that it's a limited resource until it runs out. Oops - no more recharges for the entire game - nothing to do but start the whole friggin game over. I want to maintain the overall feel that Ian had intended for his scenario, but I think even he would now recognize the difference between making it hard and making it frustrating. My preference would be to keep the mace overload mechanism as a secret and to add shield power-ups and rechargers. There is already a shield recharger in Mosh Pit and in the second part of Liver, and there are 1X power-ups in Chaos. To these I would add a 2X power-up just prior to the blood run in Liver (as in Tastes Like Evil), scattered 1X power-ups in the re- levels and a 2X or 3X recharger in End Game, in that small room with the regenerating fusion bobs. Given the regeneration rate, there will be a natural check on the frequency and amount to which the player can recharge. I would also suggest a 3X power-up that the player would land on in the ante-chamber to Can. Mark, perhaps you might want to run this by Ian?
