The sad part is that they're never going to learn the real truth if they
keep on every developer to focus on 3-D FPS or other genres. I'd much rather
you finish MOTA however you want and then develop a side scroller later if
that's what you decided to do. After all, we've got Perilous Hearts to look
forward to, which is probably closer to what a tre side scroller would be.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Hi Bryan,
Yeah, its not a matter of one format being easier than the other. I
think you and I both know there are some mainstream side-scrollers out
that really would blow some of the VI gamers minds. Super Castlevania
comes to mind here. After level 7 that game is quite simply insanely
difficult. However, if a blind gamer has never had that experience
then its no wonder they are saying side-scrollers are too easy because
they don't have anything in their personal experience to compare Super
Liam, Q9, and Tarzan Junior to.
So I know where you are coming from. I don't really like the blanket
statements either, but I also know their options and experience has
been rather limited to date. Even Philip came out and said Q9 was
intended to be a children's game so didn't put too much complexity
into it. However, if someone plays that and says its the be all and
end all of side-scrollers that is far from true. Any of the classic
mainstream side-scrollers such as Mario, Megaman, Double Dragon, Ninja
Turtles, Castlevania, etc are 10 times the game Q9 is in terms of
complexity and general difficulty.
Cheers!
