Subject: Morral dilemma......
I have been asked if I am going to do another P.C
based willy game in the vein of a very willy christmas
and the answer is yes.
The good thing is with
the way it is made is that you can add any number of
custom features limited only by your
imagination.
There in lies the problem.
I could easily add 10
custom features to my next game but at what point does
it stop being a willy game ???????
I have
tried to make the first one as close to the original
formula as the games factory would allow and think I did
a not too bad job.
But if I add things like,
oh i dont know, like spring boards, traps ( hatches
falling rocks etc ) ladders, puzzles etc......what point
is it no longer jet set willy ?
Hey that
gives me an idea.......a willy game in the style of
dizzy :)
Have to collect objects to reach other
areas of the mansion, keys etc.....Yes ? no ? yeah
definatley no.....im just babbling now ( babble babble
)
I would apreciate your thoughts on this guys.
