Hi, everyone! This is just a quick post to check in and introduce myself. I'm Matt, the new designer working on New 'N' Tasty.

I've been looking through this thread to try and get a feel for what you all consider to be the most important aspects of the original game. I'm a big fan myself and there's a lot of overlap with the things I personally value in AO, to be honest.

I noticed atmosphere was one particularly important point of discussion. While it is a frustratingly vague thing to pin down and describe, it would certainly be something that sticks out to fans like a sore thumb when it's not right.

The deep atmosphere and storysense of the original AO was what made me fall in love with it in the first place, so I'll do my best to help convey that rich feeling in New 'N' Tasty, along with all the other nuances and complexities of the game.

Hope you're all as excited about this game as I am!

Hi! Nice pixel art avatar! Is it from a game, or did you make it yourself?
