I have a questions about the temple then. What kind of traps will there be?
Will there be enemies to fight? What kind of puzzles did you have in mind?
Are they going to be pushing block puzzles or other standard in game tasks
like finding your way out the room or will it be more like a separate mini
game that pops up needs to be solved to progress?
You said the tent would have lots of traps, did you mean the temple or will
the tent also have traps?
I am going to be making the dialogue section of the game. Basically, I need
more details of how you would like this to work. Don't worry about it from a
technical stand point. I need to know stuff like what kind of questions the
old man and the fortune teller will ask. I would like to know how you would
like the choices to impact the player. For example when the player is
talking to the old man about what he looks like how will this affect the
player.
Is The Beast an empty chamber with only the boss in it?
That's it for now. I'll see what I can do about a gate and star field.
