Hello, I just finished playing through Mota 17 a couple of times. I am really loving the new level, and I like how you have to do a lot of backtracking and exploring to find out where to go. I like the new platforms and the timing element they add. I hope to see even more complex levels and even possibly multiple traps, or traps and enemies in the same room in higher levels. For example, you could have to climb down a rope onto a vanishing platform or a drawbridge you lowered earlier, or you could have to jump between vanishing platforms, timing your jumps such that the new one has appeared but the old hasn't yet disappeared.
I found a bug and a balancing issue. The bug is that stairs do not show up in the view command, so it is hard to tell where they are sometimes. The balancing issue is that it is possible to encounter a harpy without finding a healing potion. I would recommend simply starting the player with one potion. I can hardly think that Angela would not come prepared. I know this has been brought up before, but I have another suggestion of how to alert the player that they've been poisoned. The speech could simply say something like "Health: fair. You are poisoned." This would be enough to tell if you have been poisoned. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
