In Response To: Re: 29-38 (Forrest of B.org)

: These levels are actually foreshadowing the last iteration of them, in which
: you will have to climb UP the mountain instead. (This place is, if you
: haven't guessed already by the titles, "the hollow world, the land in
: the sky, all of it floating in the void" which Hathor spoke of in
: Chapter 3, "She Is The Dark One"). But climbing up is a good
: deal harder than climbing down, which is why I made the player start out
: progressively higher and higher up the mountain and climb down instead, in
: these earlier iterations. But now it seems almost too easy, and kind of
: pointless. Have you any suggestions for some moderation between these two
: extremes?

I climbed the top on the first level, since I thought it were where I was supposed to go. On the latter levels I checked the bunkers first, but then I figured that as long as the well is there, that's the place where you're suppose to go. I think you can make things more interresting by moving this well around a bit, or filling it up, and choosing other exit locations.

: Also, I think I will make the terminal room look a little better... more than
: just a floor and ceiling in space. And a related question there: is it
: clear that the glow in the distance is the not-so-distant galaxy, seen
: edge-on? Or does it just look like some random glow?

Both. A random glow of a galaxy ;)

: It doesn't look like there's any reason there should be a slowdown.
: Everything is well within Forge's limits.

In hindsight, it could be the 3d graphics, but then again, I didn't get slowdowns anywhere else, or on other levels.

: Speaking of slowdown, what kind of speed do you get on the dream levels (To
: Sleep, Hollow World, Land In The Sky, etc)?

perfect speed.

: Not sure, that's just where Andreas put it. Any suggestions for a better
: place? Maybe more towards the end...

Somewhere inside.

: Yeah, I've seen that happen a couple times. It seems to have something to do
: with it being Persistent and Virulient, which it needs to be to be as
: effective as it is, but I'm not sure what makes it do that, or how to stop
: it. Anybody else know?

: Yeah, I've been thinking that something was off about the Hulks, but I wasn't
: quite sure what it was. I'll see about making them attack faster. Thanks.

set their attck frequency to 1, and check "attacks immediately".

: I'm really glad you like this one. This and it's mate (which you will meet
: soon) are the two maps I worried were weakest in this chapter. I'm going
: to be going and retooling the monster placement in the hangars soon, so
: hopefully that will make it a bit more interesting.

It's mostly the architecture of the big hall of the hangars that looks off. It looks like a 3 year old made that part, then someone else did the rest of the level.
