Re: Spaceship pod age?

I had an idea kinda like this when the pods were being released. Yeah, it's a good idea. I was thinking maybe you could link into a space station that had lots of ships ready, so that if one group was out exploring while a new group came in, they wouldn't be left without a ride.

The idea could ...

Re: 'Boss fights' in Uru...

Myst/Uru has no player-initiated/rewarded violence. That is to say, you don't commit violence yourself and violence is never a reward/rewarded with progress
Welllll what about when you have to poison the camoudile in Revelation and when you have to snake-torture a Bahro in EoA? And you sort of ...

Re: 'Boss fights' in Uru...

Thanks Shoggoth. Yeah, basically all I was suggesting is that you have to shut down a machine of some sort without panic linking to Relto, just making it a little more exciting. Lots of adventure games have an exciting finale puzzle, like MI2. (Though there was the risk of being sent to a world of ...

Um...Achenar? Remember him? Remember his rooms?


Ha, yeah. Plus you can get shot in Riven and bludgeoned in Exile.

Re: How to decide which Fan age is first on Moulagain

Incidentally, Jamey, when I read the title for this page, the first Age to come to mind was the Writer's Niche.

Ahra Pahts would be good, except that there's only a few shells filled up. Once a lot starts to be built it will be the most awesome Age ever, but I dont think it would be a good first ...

Re: Rand's visit and news for Age Creators

MOUL is dead. Do you mean Moulagain? We don't know if Cyan will ever put fan Ages on that shard. Do you mean future open-source (if it happens) servers? That is an uncertain future.

If you make it for Pots now, it will presumably be possible to convert to the format used on Moulagain/Moul ...

Supernatural walkways

I have an idea for a part of a scary or whimsical age:



You walk into a room and are on an elevated walkway that goes straight across to the exit other side.There are some other walkways in the room, let's say two. One of them, though, cuts diagonally across the room from the floor to the ceiling ...

Re: 'Boss fights' in Uru...

I'm sure the idea could be made better by removing the spikes and other elements of violence.

Haha, good point... I mean in Gira you could fall in lava, but that's not as gorey...
Yeah, a better idea would be if you just fell into a dead-end pit, or maybe just a previous room.

Re: 'Boss fights' in Uru...

Well, there are SOME timed puzzles (Delin, Tsoghal, kinda the the gear room in Gahreesen). And you wouldn't die or anything, you'd just panic-link like if you fell. Maybe forcing you to return to the room isn't a great idea. But I mean Uru isn't JUST a puzzle game, there's the wall, there's heek ...

'Boss fights' in Uru...

So I have thes wacky ideas for boss fights in Uru...

Suppose in an age you come to a room with a big computer screen. When you enter it says the security system has been turned on, and all the door's lock. The screen will also have "health" counters for, say, the 'computer' and the 'intruder.' And ...
