Hi Tom, Is it possible that we could talk offlist about a game idea. That I have... I actually talked to Philip about this once, a long time ago, and was going to have to pay him to program it for me. But I still have all the documentation and things I wrote for it, and am even writing the book in the hope that if I can't program it, someone else might. I'll tell you more offlist if you want, just don't want anyone taking any of my ideas! Lol.

Hi Chandu, Well, I've honestly got some mixed feelings about this one. The idea of a wizard duel sounds ok in of itself, but I can't help but feel as though the game is too simplistic in design. it lacks any kind of complexity or depth I'd expect from a good audio game. What I mean by that is you talk about walking left or right, pressing a key to jump or duck, etc. Sadly like so many audio games you are thinking about a one dimensional game where most if not all the action is along the x axis. In its own way it is basically Troopenum or Dark Destroyer except instead of moving left/right and shooting down space ships you are casting spells at another wizard. As we have far too many of these simplistic games already I'd personally like to see something with a little more complexity or depth then move left and right shooting at something or someone. Make sense? One way to make this more interesting is maybe to create some court yard or arena where you can move around in 2d or 3d, duck behind statues, or cast a hovering charm so you can perform some kind of aerial attack from the sky, etc. expand the idea so you are not trapped into a single axis of movement.Even a 2d game would be more complex than your initial game idea. Cheers!
