Bing-Bing!
Thank you for flying Air MCE.
You have arrived in Fogsville.
The current conditions are slightly optomistic with a good chance of server crash and a slight wind of change from the north.
The will be no smoking within 300 feet of the plane while disembarking and will only be permitted once the fuel vapor from our damaged engine has blown away.
Those of you who were injured by the turbulence, please file a lawsuit against Belmont Senoir Secondary.
All others, have a great stay!
So, yeah.
I'm back.
And work will commence...
As soon as I find my notes.

That was a bit short, but it was pretty nice. It was surreal almost; I thought it had a pretty definitive "just you and the machine" feel to it. Especially the background made you feel alone, as if you were the only one in existence on the entire space station/whatever. 
I found a small bug though. In the second room, you can throw yourself off of the back of the map by jumping off the Power Critter to reach the higher platform.
Space dust is not good for the gears...

Nice job reading the Readme.
But, sadly to say...
The power critter bug isn't a bug.
It's a way to a secret that has not yet been included.
But lets just say...
You might need the contents of the secret chest to do one of the puzzles... Effeciently.
Hehe...

Yep, I noticed the debris were spikes when I decided to check that area out.
Hm... think you should make some kind of "forcefield" sprite (not the kind used in boss fights) to kind of mark the boundary between space and air? I mean I realize you have the column doing that already but nonetheless, just for the sake of making sense... maybe some kind of "energy field" would be in order to explain it.
Not sure what sprite you'd mod though... you're using the health refill for save, what're you using the save icon for? Or maybe you could edit the fireplace fire...?

Yeah, I was thinking of an "Airlock Block", but that is a graphical thing and unimportant ATM.Lyger said:
Any guess as to what the save icon is going to be?

It's going to be an information relay - You'll see them in the early game giving basic hints ect.

The save disk is on the IRS - Information Relay System - that links all the disks on the PLATFORM to a central data core that is programmed to provide useful information.Metalogz said:
Each "disk" is a Retrieval Node.
And it's not the Booster...
Does anyone remember the kid from the Charlie Brown TV series that always got a lame Halloween treat because of his lame costume? You got one of those.

Spoilers of a game that doesn't even exist yet beyond the realm of my design note and my brain.

Note!
In case you're wondering, I'm using SkyDrive (by Microsoft) to host every version of my mod that I upload.
If you have a hotmail or live account, you can get a SkyDrive free.
It's 5 gb of storage and no bandwidth restrictions (as far as I can tell...) and best of all, free.
^_^_^
