Hi Philip, I think Perilous Hearts is very good. Obviously the storyline is quite different from Mysteries of the Ancients, and certain features as the A.I. for the monkies, wild bores, and other animals is completely different from any audio game ever created before. Other than both make full use of the 2d environment I really can't see many similarities between Perilous Hearts ande Mysteries of the Ancients. what similarities there are in the two games is pretty superficial.
For instance, in Perilous Harts you can climb up vines to get into the tree tops. In MOTA you can use swinging ropes and vines to get to higher and lower areas of the level. That's a similarity between the games, but a pretty superficial one. After all, I could name several mainstream games with ropes, vines, and other things like that to climb on as well so I'm not worried about those kinds of similarities between our games. Honestly, I think they are more different than similar in the main. >From what I've seen of Perilous Hearts so far the game mechanics are fairly different, different storylines, different objectives, different sounds, whatever. Some features like using the revolver for short range combat and rifle for long range just makes sense. Its realisticd, and MOTA uses the same kind of logic because anyone who has handled firearms would expect it. Its not something exactly proprietary or exclusive to any certain developer or game. P.S. I'm glad that information about SAPI helps. I just would like to point out this issue is exclusive to the 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and not the 32-bit versions of Windows 7.
