That is what makes shades of doom fun. The problem is that people want things easy.
I want something thathat is hard. I want a challenge. side scrollers are easy and honestly no fun. You said the key word Phil. It is easier to move. Really? Really? Movement and such is so much more challenging and fun. Thoma go with the fps. For those who do not want it we are sorry. Let's look at the facts. if you would not have taken on this endeavor they would have no game whatsoever. Yet instead of being appreciative of what you are trying to do, they again are complaining cause you want to go a new way with the game. One which your heart and mind are in. My feelings again are who cares. Do what you want and feel is good for you and the game. Do what you want where support patches and such will make you happy!
