@EvilKing.... I also wonder about the GoaT approach to magic. It seems like there might be some, if there is to be a ghost in the story... and of course there seems to be legions of undead rats... but are ghosts/undead rats spiritual or magical? Ha ! I am surprised it has taken this long to actuall...

Re: The greatest games of all time & what are you playing no

@EvilKing... that is weirdly cool and exotic ;) if you like vintage rpg's, I think (not sure) Seith is a fan of 'Legend of Grimrock', which was more of a hit in Europe than the US. You might find the 'Legend of Grimrock' website strangely, unusually familiar... that's b'coz Seith asked me to build ...

Yes, it would be great to have ninja enemies, especially frogs! I've always loved frogs... anyway, did you ever finish that book?

You know.. in the book I was writing, in an alternate world paralell to earth where the lizards/amphibean creatures took dominent roles are the rulers, I had the frogs as more of assassins. Most times when I see frog like characters in games they end up being more akin to what you (David) have descr...

All great (and dare I say "poetic") ideas! :) Just a reminder though; in the world of "Ghost of a Tale" the characters are animals but their scale to the world is not akin to ours. By that I mean for example that the main character's height, being a mouse, is roughly equivalent ...

If they think you are ok, they might carefully leave guidance or a cooked meal in your path. I totally love this concept.

A Spyglass or Telescope (and other tools)

I'd love to see some kind of telescope or binocular item in the game to give a sense of scope to the areas. If the game is going to require puzzles, elements of stealth, and avoiding some combat, it'd be kool to find a way to see far away with some handy item. Something akin to entering a large new ...
