That’s it, I’m reinstalling my Inago Rage demo. Love that game.
I wish I could get the full version but I live in a 3rd world country and the credit cards I try to use are not valid for international purchases, according to the Internet.

By the way, I want more of that lovely chick from Epidemic Groove.

We’re working on that issue now. We’ll do some patching mechanism that’ll seem tough to manage at first, but turn out to be easy. We’ll laugh. We’ll cry. We’ll lean to love.

I just have to figure out how.

Maybe in the next one you could have jam squirrel ears in some mockinsons. Or potatoes in a blender that wear cheese.

Yeah! ‘Random’. Yeah!

Just to let you know: I seem to be easily influenced by media-suggestions, because the very subtle presence of this game on this fine site has finally brought me to buying the game.

And while I am easily frustrated by this game, as just being pulled by gravity is harder than it sounds, it still draws me back to try another jump and maybe get better.

While I do like most of your ideas (yeah, a shadow or such might really make it easier to see), I really, really hope they don’t pick up the idea of other unlockables and items. This really would destroy the nice and easy feel of the game and kill the balance. After all, it’s not a flight-sim, it’s about the simple difficulty of falling gracefully at top speeds without much control.
If there would be extra levels designed just for a jetpack.thingie, great..but more usable items would make the game just complicated and less fun.
And then again, I might just be too old to adapt to using more tools in a short time. Damn you, time!

But I like that you yourself said: “To prevent it from becoming a hotkey fest,..”. Good point there.

D’oh, forgot to hit the reply button on this one. By the way, if Dejobaan is doing after-launch content, how will people who DDL-ed get updates?

Thanks for reading! Oh yeah, one more thing, when caffeinated, the screen is tinted red, so I can’t tell fans from protesters. Unless this is an intentional drawback… Ooh, another idea for an unlockable, how about a grappling hook that detaches 3 seconds after impact? So you can briefly change direction by being pulled to a structure. Could use it to dodge an incoming rooftop or to span a large empty space quickly.
(What does Aaaaa! taste like?)

Hey, I’m totally up for that death&destruction idea. Making death a fun experience would automatically make this game better than 99,9% of games ever made.

I have made this post a part of the Internal Forums. What that means is that after I am done going, “OH GOD, I CAN TASTE AAAAA! IN MY SLEEP,” we’ll look at it and say “Hey, that’s some pretty good ideas.”

> Also, more unlockables would be nice, such as a limited-fuel jetpack that, when activated, grants the effect of a Bounce panel.

This, in particular, I’d like to experiment with. Because of http://www.synthscribe.com/media/ohdowehaveascreenshot14.jpg — which didn’t make it in because it broke the game. But it was FUN.

I <3 Dejobaan too. :D Just wish I had have waited till Aaa! was on Steam instead of pre-ordering it straight away, 'cause I'm a sucker for achievements.

This should have been one of those “insert the wrong questions for their answers” interviews like the Ben and Dan one. Reprise the “Say more words!” question!!
