Hi Dark, All I can say is we will see. Part of the problem is here that the game isn't completed. Oh, I have notes illistrating my ideas for various aspects of each game level they aren't set in stone, and are subject to change in development. I'm kind of like a writer who just writes not knowing how chapter 20 will end until he actually writes it. He has maybe two or three ideas how to end it, but has not decided which to do until the last couple of pages of the chapter. Same thing applies here in my games. I have various ideas, but nothing will be concrete until I actually sit down and write it.
So in order to reserve certain weapons for certain levels requires balancing the game out throughout the entire game from start to finish. Level 1 is suppose to be the easy level so has no real sense of what level 10 will be like. I'm going to be messing with hitpoints and things like that to balance everything out so there is a bit of progressive transition from easy to hard. At this point I don't know what will be needed for what exactly. Cheers!
