If i'm allowed access to the doc, my public gmail name is lupocani314. I dont intend to edit what's been written, but rather add my own version. Of course, if you want, I could help merge the different ideas.

By the way, will the perspective be like submachine, sub2 sketch/myst or most fps games?

It will be a flash game.

And I think that only Azareus is able to give you edit rights, you have to tell him your gmail account.

Great! Being a flash game gives me at least three possible publishers and a great self publisher website.

Also, if it's flash, have a preloader with a play button after it's loaded. I don't like how when I'm waiting for a game to load in another tab and them i get interrupted by sound from the main menu.

I have added lupocani314 to the edit list.

I believe it will be myst perspective. ("3D")

Thanks. One backstory coming up!

Edit: By the way, if it's a semi-3d game, why use an animaiton making it seem like you go sideways when you just turn?

[Ancient Crystal]

Should we come up with a better working title that pcg? I don't know the history of that joke, but perhaps something about oranges? Or we could make pcg the official name, but come up with something else it could be an acronym for? Project Cerebral G...... or something?(all background stories so far have involved some organisation experimenting on human brains) You get the idea?

Here is my version of the letter:

I think we will use a rotating animation for turning, and several animations for going sideways and forwards/backwards.

That name is just temporary, we were searching for better names in the old thread but nothing definitive. I didn't think of the acronym idea, it'd be cool if we found a good one

It is great!
but I thought Sarah was being chosen for doing the experiments on people, rather than being the subject of experiments. That is, working with the organization, according to Officer's story. Or did you mean that, and I just read it wrong? XP

I think we will use a rotating animation for turning,

Is that neccesary? Simply switching image can have the desired effect if the rooms are well designed.

That name is just temporary, we were searching for better names in the old thread but nothing definitive.

I didn't mean a name for the game, simply a working tilte, or as you put it, temporary name. Like, "The orange", or something else we would never dream of calling the finished game. But guess pcg is fine.

I've always thought the starting rooms were a little to bright for the general atmosphere of the game.

What do you think?
