Thanks for posting. That's fine that you posted this here, I will not move it. However, if someone else posts about DoM, it will more than likely get integrated into a single thread. This thread will be their home...

First off, thanks for the compliments on the game. I expected heavy criticism, which I've gotten on many levels, and I attribute that to DoM being not only the first game I've ever made, but my first experience with any game-making editor.

...remaking the game, I would have done several things different, but that's just not looking possible at this time. Who knows, a DoM 1.5 might surface one of these days.... to be honest, it was rushed in places, and overwhelming at times. I blame my own ego for almost taking on an entire team's work....

I'm a musician first and foremost and this project was a bonus to the soundtrack, not to mention the ode' to King's Field and its fans. ^_^

I apologize about the bug which plunges you to your death. You're the first to tell me of it, but a fairly simple workaround would be to use the Fruit of the Healing Tree (or should you have it, the Staff to the Shadow's Abyss) upon starting to fall - to warp to safety.

If you've saved ala Ring of Salvation, join the growing group of people who had minimal hit points and saved mid monster's swing, or saved halfway down a pit.... ^_^

Granted you shouldn't have to work around bugs (mine and SoM's) and I hope you'll still be able to finish the game.

As for the damage and difficulty, I've been told a rainbow of opinions on them. A select few found the game too difficult to pass the first group of enemies. Another group found it a pleasant experience at enemies making critical hits from the start. More incentive not to get hit, right? ...then of course, the hotshots that thought the game was too easy.

As for the story, that would probably be one of those "rushed" things. <b>Musician, game maker, story teller, potato juggler</b> seems to be the hierarchy of best to worst in my recreational jack of trades abilities.

Thanks again for your input and I hope you stick around here.
