That was Prey, my personal favorite and first Crichton book.

Well, we do need some powerful enemies who have armies behind them. Sounds fun!

Gregor waited outside. Bishop said the cell was only big enough for one person, so two would probably be crowded enough as it was.

Well, of course. We can't be advancing the plot, now can we?

I had some thoughts as to how they could better balance the game for eventual release: use RPG elements!
With these mechanics, you would no longer have an uber-death machine after the first stage.
- Instead of getting two dozen materials each stage, you should only get a few in the treasure chests at the end.
- Once you get the materials you want, you spend exp to increase their ranks. No more buying A-rank materials with just a little gold grind!
- Wands, robes, and spells only start with 1 slot. You get more slots, again, by spending exp.

Do we want a lucky unit to get even luckier, or do we want an unlucky unit to get some luck?
But really, we should have a caravan or something. I usually save these items until the endgame when I can see who most needs them >_>
Pssst! Check inside the mattress!

Gregor raised a hand in greeting.
: "No losses amongst this group, and the Berebians have been routed or captured. Not sure how the town guard did, I wasn't there to see them."

Gregor sighed and glanced longingly at the Inn, but followed Charlotte and Chris. He'd already been up for nearly two days, what was another few hours?

« on: May 04, 2013, 01:29:34 pm »I enjoyed Crichton's books. Yeah, they were a little anti-science, but I was more fascinated by the (pseudo)science than the intended message.I've always disliked Michael Crichton's neo-luddism and fearmongering about new technologies&discoveries (not just biotech, he also railed against DBS, and global warming). With Jurassic Park the joke's on him, though. People ignored his "genetic engineering is evul!" message in favor of the more obvious, "Dinosaurs fuck yeah!" message.
That really was Crichton's schtick. Sphere was the first of his books that I read, and I rather enjoyed it, prompting me to go out and buy his other books from used book stores. Fast forward about twelve more books, sans ten dollars, and I'm left wondering why the hell I bought them all. I soldiered through the one on global warming (urgh, wasn't even a great novel) and then gave up on the one about abortion. Honestly, I'd be happy just to own Sphere, Andromeda Strain, and Jurassic Park. The rest are probably going to go sit in a box somewhere.
In happier news, I shoveled out the money to nab a prepaid card and pre-ordered Starbound with it. I can't wait for the beta.

I just remembered that Gregor hasn't had any sleep since before Chapter 2. So that's why he's voting for the Inn

: "Inn?"Gregor turned to the rest of the group.
: "I vote for the Inn. Temple can wait until everything's settled down."
