In addition to creating an engine for others to use, we can pass our engine creation experience to other aspiring projects.

A feature certainly not seen everydayMechanic designed for interactivity with

environmentThe system was designed for this game with

non-violence in mind. It is not just about killing!

The Dynamic Environmental System and the scholar path features something different from the common hack and slash.

Classic beat-um-upStraight forward for casual play: 3 easy steps

1. find bad guy, 2. kill bad guy, 3. find new bad guy

Easy to follow quests withlittle depth of thoughtneeded.

Beat things into pulps. (and be satisfied doing it)

Is there much else to say?

Dynamic Environmental SystemAllows the player to change the environment

around the player to suit his or her needs.Alternative to hack and slash.

Traverse terrainSolve puzzlesEnemy confrontation without

direct violence

One might call it “lateral thinking”

For those who want all the help they can get. With the new group path you can fight with our

AI bots that help you along the way.Easier than other pathsMore focused on characters

(little more dialogue driven)

Is a challenge too hard? Too many enemies?NO PROBLEM!Bring a friend and ask for help!

Fan service for an existing fan baseSuitable for all ages

Brian wrote Redwall for the children at the Royal Wavertree School for the Blind in Liverpool.

Because of the nature of his first audience, he made his style of writing as descriptive as possible, painting pictures with words so that the (blind) schoolchildren could see them in their imaginations. He remains a patron of the school to this day.

I don’t ask anything of others that I don’t do myself 150%Case in point everyone showed up 10 hours I

showed up 15-20. There is a good reason why I was seen as the face of the project.

I believe that 90% of life is opportunity created for yourself the other 10% is luck. That last 10% can be created through constant effort.

I don’t believe in blaming the person but fixing the problem. That is the way the Japanese do it. That is the way I do it.

I ask only 10 hours a week.I can’t pay you so I ask for intern hoursYou make your own schedule and I lead by

your schedule, however I expect you to stick to your schedule.

I only ask for 3 things, though I ask for them at all times without exception: Honesty, punctuality, and creativity.

If these things are provided a team runs smoothly at all times.

If they are not, these are fire-able offenses.

Team integrityLying to meContinuous shoddy workBeing late repeatedly without a good reasonAnd for any reason purposefully pissing me

off.

Meet in commons at least 5 times a week
