Subject: incidentally ( 'wgdtb' or whatever )
the beta version is unfinishable, there are 3
items which i didn't delete from the extraneous rooms
(beyond about room 110).
the main doubts in my
mind (i.e. the areas where feedback would be most
useful)
- the area which extends between 'barrier 2' and
'turnabout' (contains some 'recycled screens'), is possibly a
bit weak IMO, compared to the other rooms.
-
there's an occasional rope teleport bug in 'it's a noise
being noisy!'. seems to be quite rare and
random.
- the name. i had the idea of calling it either
'strangel' or 'best behaviour'. strangel came about because
willy seems quite angelic to me, dedicated wholly to
collecting the items and resolving the problems. 'best
behaviour' is more convoluted in reasoning but seems like it
might fit the game (there is certainly some odd
behaviour in the game!).
- difficulty. i have
completely lost perspective on how difficult/easy it is.
there are quirky features on virtually every screen,
often in combination, so that might make it hard for
novices?
