Fortunately, the game had some things in it we liked. We set up a small group of people to take every silly idea, every cool trick, everything interesting that existed in any kind of working state somewhere in the game and put them into a single prototype level. When the level started to get fun, they added more variations of the fun things. If an idea wasn�t fun, they cut it. When they needed a software feature, they simplified it until it was something that could be written in a few days. They all worked together on this one small level for a month while the rest of us basically did nothing. When they were done, we all played it. It was great. It was Die Hard meets Evil Dead. It was the vision. It was going to be our game. It was huge and scary and going to take a lot of work, but after seeing it we weren�t going to be satisfied with anything less. All that we needed to do was to create about 100 more levels that were just as fun. No problem.

would be cool to make a map where you fight your way into an iceberg (not vondur's...) and there's lot of ice tunnels and air pockets and then you discover a tech base inside or something so it's frozen base + leaks.

someone do that. i command you.
