Hi Willem, Thanks for saying so. As for probability factor, I'll have to give that one some thought with regard to building it in. The way the system is designed to work right now, you could likely achieve the same result if you created a rare punch on a switch with other, less involved combos. When I get into the meat of switches, I'll take a look, though. Ryan

Firstly let me say that I think you are doing a great job on the game. You mentioned that there will be the ability to add random selection in a timeline. What I would like to see is also the ability to edit the probability of that event occuring (for example a high stakes punch with high risk and high reward should not have the same probability as a normal punch), so the surprise element is not lost. ----- Original Message ----- From: "GreyMatter Info" <i...@greymatterproductions.com> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 1:42 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] The First Trailer > Hi everyone, > I checked the archives last night, and it appears this message didn't > post. > Sorry if you get this twice. > > > Hey Dark and Tom, > I'm glad you guys liked the demo.
