It all appears to be going ok so far. I have pretty much finished the puzzle system (which I rewrote like 5 times) and now I can progress with enemies and weapons and stuff.

I'm hoping to have more enemies in this version when compared to the 2 enemies in the original. Plus at least 3 weapons and possibly some kind of helper ai as well.

Good to hear. I am curious about what enemies the new game will have. Also, will we be able to switch weapons with a calc key like Y=? I forgot if the original allowed us to do that. Some games like Demon's Crest required you to go to the menu everytime you wanted to equip different stuff.

Yeah I will definitely need a change weapon button as opposed to the menu.

Cool. :D Actually, I wonder if you could use the F1 to F5 keys? The issue, though, is that it would hide a part of the screen at the bottom, so unless you use icons, then you might need to redesign some maps due to be 12x7 instead of 12x8.

I don't remember. But Desolate lacks scrolling so if HUD graphics fills a lot of the last row of sprites, then this means that we won't be able to see the wall at the bottom.

Will you be changing the story line?

Also, what if you made it so there were different map packs that you could play, or maybe some really big story?

I'm just trying to grab some inspiration. :P

The HUD will fit nicely at the top of the screen, with a changing sprite to indicate what weapon is active i'm thinking.

There will be more information available to help piece together more of the story than in the original along with brief explanations about some of the random items that you can find (like rubik's cube and easter egg items like duck idol etc).

The map is slightly different, but it isnt much bigger im afraid.

However I'm making a level editor which would enable to creation of a different map easy.

Will new maps be more varied? In the original, every single room was rectangular.

Will this map be more complete? Cause I remember playing this last year and finding that I couldn't go through all the doors. I went through everything I could and still I didn't get a level 2 key I think(or something). Maybe it was just my not being able to find something. Also how many different misc items do you plan to have.

The rooms will be rectangular (there isn't any scrolling etc) - the map is very similar to the original.

The same puzzles are in place, however there is more dialog that goes with them.

Dream of Omnimaga

I see. I guess the new additions will definitively spice up the game a lot anyway.
