Hmm, I opened FlashDevelop with some error message and it appears to have eaten one of my classes.
This is concerning to say the least.

I personally prefer TBS, combat in those games is generally more tactical, so you really how to think about how you attack the enemy beyond just gathering a huge force and steamrolling in their general direction.

If you don't want players to miss the fact that they're missing out on something, make sure that whateer you use to block the paths is something that will spark their curiosity, perhaps strange, silent beings that wordlessly guard the entrances?

-Look up "The Uncanny Valley", then exploit the crap out of it. -If the player feels like they are always the most dangerous thing in the room, you've failed. You need to make people feel hesitant to continue when they see/hear any warning signs of future battle. -Creepy sound effects are EVERYTHING! -Use the environment to show the player how dangerous their situation really is, hint towards the greater truth behind the scenario, but don't make it pretty. -Don't use jump scares, they're a cheap trick and no one enjoys them. -PACING! PACING! PACING!

RIP, despite his questionable business practises in his early career, he was definitely an innovator and had a huge impact on consumer electronics.

Paul is right, Matt, what you have to do is be like everyone else here, by slowly posting on various topics in a helpful and polite manner so that you appear to be an altruistic being. Then when everyone is all warmed up to, LINK BOMB! LINKS TO YOUR GAMES EVERYWHERE!!! It's how the winners roll.

 Does that look like a skull crying in anguish or am I just insane? Hint: It's probably the latter.

And he appears to be continuously urinating into his cup and drinking it...  Now I'm never going to be able to see that avatar the same way again.
