Diadem of Maunstraut

I realize SoM is probably a bit of a straight jacket (though I have a fairly thorough grasp of its capabilities -- ie. with little time in it's trenches) but it never hurts to share impressions. Plus btw, though I'd admit this is an unexpected place to say so, I think I'm in the impression to remake SoM according to open and state of the art standards, so come what may, someday you will probably have a chance to do virtually anything with DoM you could possibly imagine. So here's to the future~

PS: Great job! Can't wait to find out if I get to do battle with The Master Therion himself...

To remake SOM, @@. Hehe, if you understand that thing on that kind of level, Im pretty certain I won't be of any use to you if you try to make some games with it.

All things aside though, I had my own opinions on DoM (as I am sure Tom recalls hehe) but I try to remember (now that I have tried making my own game more than ever!) that this was basically a one man operation, and that fact still floors me to this day.

All games made with this tool will have bugs, all the KF's themselves had some bugs ( I can show you if you like) but the game itself is very well made IMO.

As for the opinions, they are just that, and we all have em. I am sure when I release DD, if anyone even bothers playing it hehe, that it will get criticized for TONS of bugs I already know exist and can't do anything about, that wont bother me, but as for the design of the game, its really up to the programmers opinions as to how it turns out.

I didnt see eye to eye with Tom on some things on DoM, starting difficulty, low clip plane, but I figured what the hell, he made it as he saw fit, and its what he wanted..and I am lucky to get the chance to enjoy it :) I feel that way about any game given the chance to nitpick, even the one I am making certainly doesnt satisfy me...but we all make sacrifices on some things to gain in other areas.

I guess what I am saying is, I hope no one dogs on my game too bad lol, and I will be very happy if its anywhere near as nice as DoM was.
