LIGHTNINGLORD2'S PROFILE

If you think you have a good idea, but you're not sure whether or not to use it, you should rather do instead scrapping it. It's better to implement a bad idea than discarding a potentionally good one. If you know it wouldn't fit the theme/pace/style/etc. of the game, you may drop it, but you should try to make a sub-project with it when you have the time for it (better write all such ideas down, and take your time to develop them in a positive way). Several developers (I think Craze is a good example) manage to use a terrible idea and use it in a way that it's actually a good thing.

You should be a little more shocked! You've got a powerful enemy in front of you.

I will punch into oblivion! >=(

Terranigma has an ending that is not only downerish, but makes your quest seem pointless. It involves that
And what's even more stupid is

I think normal encounters should be more challenging to make status and stat changers more viable - enemies at the power level of a cardboard box are sure best dealt with just attacking, but beefy mooks with an attack buff that allows them to kill your weaker members in one hit should be a viable target for eg. insta-kill. Standard enemies need just as much attention of the designers as bosses.
