I imagine giant freak mutant birds like a cross between buzzards and eagles but also a bit reptilian/alien Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: Alan Wolfe <alan.wolfe@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 20:33:34 To: <project1dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [project1dev] Re: [Story-ish] end of level 1 yeah good point kent! im reposting something eric sent from his phone which also leans towards making the cave next to the road: Eric: I think it should be that you break out of the null realm and begin repairing your world. I think instead of bats they should be crazy bird creatures dragging people off to an avary (with nests and eggs and big evil carnivorous birds) the trolls should be the people of the realm after they were twisted and mutated by the evil force. The trolls hate all normal (unmutated) creatures by instinct thus the reason they attack. You gain civilians because as your influence spreads, the ppl that aren't fully mutated/evil yet shake off the disease and come out of the wild to rejoin civilization (along with giving birth...) I asked him why using the lightning bolt on the rock would cause problems / force you to go into first person and he replied: The rock causes a land slide that destroys a bunch of nests so the birds go crazy and attack, the birds avary could be in a cave so itd still work What do you guys think? Basically... * Bird creatures instead of bats (less drab and more unique and origional) * road goes next to cave, and cave is exposed by a land slide when you use the lightning bolt On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 8:18 PM, Kent Petersen <kentkmp@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > When you finish the level is the cave going to stay open?
