I'll get MSN sometime, but I'm really busy. I don't know when I'd have time to chat. But let me know if you specifically need to talk with me.

Well, I don't specifically need to talk to you, I think it'd just make for a really good concept discussion.

I know Scarecrow has MSN, and a few others who posted here, maybe we can get a group concept chat going sometime.

Hmmm, I think you are right, it would make for a better concept discussion to chat in real time. So, I got MSN. I'll try leaving it on when I'm at the computer, so you can try contacting me when you're around. My MSN name is the same as my forum name, except with an 's' at the end, just like all my email addresses. If you can't figure that out, well, I probably don't want to talk with you anyway. ;)

axchos@hotmail dot com?

Yes. If you had done that with an email I actually use, I would have been annoyed. Fortunately, I don't care about getting spam in my hotmail account since I never plan to use it.

Still, it might be advisable for you to edit that into a non-valid link. ;)

[EDIT]
Thank you. :p

I so want to see this done. How's it going?

yeah, show us! i need to know what it looks like!

Need ?

Sounds great, hope it's done soon, i love games like this.

Well, me and Axcho have been talking on MSN for almost an hour now, we've come up with some really good stuff. We're really starting to see the caliber and complexity this game is going to require..

We don't plan on telling you everything we'll be doing with the game, but here's the game object types we have so far:

Type 0 -- Terrain
Type 1 -- Movers (motors, rockets, weights, magnets, explosives)
Type 2 -- Connectors (beams, connectors, ropes, pulleys)
Type 3 -- Activators (switches, fuses, toggles)
Type 4 -- Weapons (hammers, spikes, blades, lasers, etc)

Keep in mind we're still reading and discussing your suggestions. A lot have been great so far, and some of them are right now in the concept stage for ideas. Keep suggesting!

Here is my stamp of endorsement!

Great chat we had. Things are coming along, slowly but surely. :)

Why not have different backgrounds?

It would'nt change gameplay but it'd make it look more alive x].

That's not a bad idea actually, but it depends on whether axcho is going for a complicated or minimalistic look.

I think for now the approach is going to be pretty minimalistic, but we might be able to incorporate backgrounds.
