Amazing work, Mav. It has, in fact, inspired me.
I actually did notice the homeage to both Zelda and Rebel Assault. Rebel assault was particularly obvious because it was just about as painfully difficult as that game was (the third section I mean...the first two were just right IMO). Difficult but fun. The mark of a truly great gameplay experience.
On a side note (and I don't mean to pressure you, just to inquire), are you going to release the scripts to the Thermill missions sometime?
Thank you for providing gameplay that nearly beats most commercial video games nowadays.

Hah, I wish. I'd be first in line. Aquilaris's script (along with my assets) were lost in a computer reformat (the
only things I lost

), and just before I released Big L, all of its scripts were lost - they were removed from my computer without a trace (do not ask; I don't have any answers and I'm very angry about losing that work). Those are the only files I've ever lost - ever. It is frustrating.
All the knowledge is still in my head, though, so if you have any questions about how I did something, make a thread and I'll be happy to tell you how to do it.

That's a real bummer. >< Sorry to hear that, Mav.
I'm sure I'll take you up on your offer at some point. I am a programming student, but have only basic knowledge/experience with C++ at this point (outside of learning LUA through this game). Thank you.

It's not the same hint, you are pointing him to the more straight forward way of getting to the end, I'm suggesting a shortcut. Both are valid.

You can only enter exactly when you need to; and you have to have listened to Ben's message before you get in.

What would have been stupid would have been making it too
easy. It is completely possible, and once you get the hang of flying (in either first or third person, both are fine), it's actually pretty easy. If you are expecting it to be easy the first time around, you are barking up the wrong tree. I want the user to feel like they've accomplished
something when they win.

Actually, I think he can't access it because he is using the access "weapon" instead of pressing the use key.
