Id say it balanced out. - "Use an engine" for me equates to challenge your partner's ideas. XP I shoulda called you on that one early when I was scratching my head about the benefit we got. Prototyping and storyboarding are key steps we definitely skimped on this year. A mistake not soon made again I hope. I definitely like the challenge of going abstract especially coupled with the dig against Miguel, meheh. "IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!!!" is all I have to say to that man and his sans programmer hijinx.

Come to think of it, that all also fits in well with Super Metroid. I was also a fan of the whole "need to upgrade your suit to survive the heat" thing. Made you feel powerful and progressing to be able to do and survive something you previously could not. Also I always think of Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past when I think of enemies that come to life after you do a specific thing, like open a chest or something. Glad to see another follower of Gabe's D&D adventures. ;) Can't wait to see some of the combat system.

Beck reminds me of my favourite haiku

A man, just one -
also a fly, just one -
in the huge drawing room.
