I agree with Nick Ali. Having Abe craft makeshift items sounds fun and interesting. That as well as the ability to arm your fellow mudokons and "set them into different aggressive modes". I'm really very curious to see this work ongame and how you will navigate 301 of those muds across a scape all at once and in one screen.
Edit:It all sounds so ambitious but awesome =) Not sure if this'll be sidescroller, open world or will be switching between these. All i know for sure is I look forward to seeing some game play in the near future, guys =D
E : Then we have something besides our own guesses and speculation to nitpik at... : p..
