thanks for answering all that stuff Kent.
It seems like we have most or all tech needed for the temple area. I just
wanted to check on some of the functionality to make sure (:
As art focuses on the temple and people start to play through it I bet you
guys'll get some more gameplay feedback about it.
the problem you are havin with the game is kinda crappy ):
im tryin to think what could be causin it or how we can debug it better.
hey could i see a screenshot of how it looks after you load a map manually
where it looks wrong?
