  1. Show open state and closed state for the side doors. If the "door sprite" has both the open and closed visual states then it isn't a problem.

    Edit: well the perspective as a whole is still off with interiors; problem with that sort of camera view. (The walls you can "see" are really tall, and undermine the narrow effect of hallways going left-right.)
  2. Wow Gwen I didn't know you were such a hipster. ![:P](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png)

    > I love this song, so damn addictive. Also 1:54.

    That's my favorite part too. ![:lol:](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png)
  3. Obviously this is an alcoholic beverage so if you cannot acquire whisky this recipe wouldn't be any use to you.

    First, start out with a cup of whiskey, probably best to use something mild. I used Seagram's VO because that's what I had around. (Also some recipes it's 1 and a half cups, so you might add more for flavor/strength later).

    1 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk

    2 cups / 1 pint of half-n-half

    2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

    1-2 tablespoons of instant coffee granules (amount can be adjusted for flavor)

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1/2 teaspoon almond extract

    Throw them all into a blender and mix until smooth. Can be drunk right away or it's best if you refridgerate it, and the flavor improves while it ages supposedly (I wouldn't know as it didn't last more than a day for me).
  4. I've played many of them, they are all decent games. Metro 2033 is a faily linear FPS game but it has great atmosphere (I think some people behind the STALKER series made it). Company of Heroes is a great RTS game, I'd still play it with my friends if their update system wasn't complete crap though (they switched to torrents, and they have new patches out all the time so every time me and my friends would play it'd be a half hour chore getting all our clients updated).

    Homeworld 2 is still the GOAT RTS game, though.
  5. One option I think is decent is make it so aesthetic bonus items are things you buy instead of items that have gameplay balance restrictions. The people who want that sort of immersion are the people more likely to buy microtransaction features anyway. If they are equipment or other things like that you can have issues with "play2win" items which disrupt game balance.
  6. Well the odd thing is now they are going after Pokemon like a decade late. It's engrained enough into the culture of about 2 generations now that nobody will pay attention to them.
  7. Hardly. Although diet would be problematic in the long term, radiation and carcinogens have always been around. We're just aware of them now.

    And it doesn't even address my point that it's a stretch to objectively assume what a baseline "natural" state is for every individual of a diverse population.
  8. You do not need more programmers than map designers. Actually if anything, if you have a decent world layout designer and a mapper who is good at repairs and touchups, mapping is the most ideal task for an Eclipse (and similar) project to spread out the labor on. It's content you'll need a lot of, and if things aren't fully coordinated it isn't the end of the world.

    Trying to coordinate 6 different people doing tedious time-intensive labor that they can't see the results on until 5 other programmers plug their stuff in, is problematic to say the least. If you can't coordinate your programmers your project is doomed even before you reach a Beta stage. And the workload required for the "lead" programmer is even worse than if they just did the work themselves (because atleast they'd know what is coordinated and what still needs work on without reading tons of potential spaghetti code for hours first).
