SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: I think the fusion pistol would look nicer if it had a
: blinking light and shook while charging like the
: Marathon ones.

We'll see what we can do. This isn't really a priority in the face of everything else.

: More on shotguns: If you have one round and two shotguns,
: you can't fire the empty. I'd prefer handling it like
: Marathon where the hand with the empty drops off the
: screen, but just making either trigger fire would do.
: Also, Marathon's alternate, while yours can be fired
: at the same time, which isn't quite as cool or useful.

You can alternate by clicking primary fire and then secondary. We give you the extra option of pumpting 4 shotgun shells into some poor bastard. We also have to get the timing right on the shotguns, it's proving to be a coding difficulty.

: I think the shotgun ammo looks rather drab.

We've made it red, now. It'll be fixed in the next release.

: Both teleporters on Waldo go to the same ledge.

I think Wolf has corrected this...?

: AFAIK, there's no way to get to the top tier of EMBM
: except to start there. And if you jump off the hill,
: there are lots of 1 inch ledges stick out from the
: wall you can land on. The elevators could use some
: work as well since they spend too much time at the
: top.

The map used to have jump boots. We'll have to see about a teleporter to go up there or something.

: A lot of the glowing white-walled areas seem a tad
: overlit. This is especially noticeable in Mars Needs
: Women and What Goes Up.

It all depends on your brightness settings. Some people complain that it's too dark.
