I want to thank everyone for their ideas/questions/comments/screenshots, they're all extremely important to me, more than I can express here in words, because they motivate me to continue what I'm up to.
I had a very elaborate answer to your suggestions typed out earlier today Splat but FireFox crashed and I lost it. Basically, they are very good suggestions, I was just adding details to each and trying to construct ideas of when they would make it into the game. I'll get to answering that once I'm feeling better.
I'm posting most of all to let you guys know that I've come down with something and the 'is anything new?' question might be answered with 'no' for a couple of days. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, but I slept ten hours today and woke up at 5pm, then I was awake for four hours and fell asleep again at 9, and ... here I am, at 4:45 in the morning. In short, I've been feeling really crappy and sleeping a lot. It's probably just a summer fever or whatever they call it.
On the Slig 'help' sound: I am really trying to get that sound recorded but it just isn't working out for me. Anyone is welcome to try; if you have the PC version of Abe's Oddysee or Exoddus, download Audacity, set it to record from Stereo Mixer and try to get a Slig to shout
help! without any background noise.
Thanks everyone for being patient! ^^
