will Penumbra have guis interfaces like doom3 have?

i mean you could have an interactuable computer screen with a feature like this, not just character typing in the keyboard and then getting the numbers written in the notebook

besides all that

wouldn't be cool if you had to actually writte down in a paper (outisde the game in your own desktop with a pencil...) the nombers and the passwords instead of getting them written in the notebook?

will be other puzless that find the right password for the right door?

will there password written in the map instead in a gui? (i mean written in objects or walls)

the doom3 gui s woul be realy cool but i dont think they are supported (yet ^^)

It would be cool, if you could actually write your own notes. In pencil, no typing(Like in M$ Paint). And the game carries on while you are doing it. So, say you found a code on a wall, and you need to remmember it to open some door. You simply open your notebook, but oh...wait...a monsters bashing through that barricade you just made! Not much time, quickly scribble down that note and get back to that door!

if you mean scribble it down on real paper: not hard ey ;)
if you mean like 'drawing' it in your notebook ingame: would be cool but hard to code

I can't scribble it down on real paper...my developer didn't code me that way :P

I meant in-game. Of course, if you rush it. You might not be able to read it later on.

At some point or another it'll make the game harder. If it's a 4 number code No problem bah ;). But what if its a damn login in chinese and there password is made from 27 letters and theres a flying dude bat thingy thats trying to kill you and the lights are flickering and you have your sanity meter is at about nah it isnt at about IT's drained youre in a panick insted of writing the login you start drawing ponies and princesses with pickaxes....... ;)..... Well too much realism can pretty much make the game too hard... I know im exegarating but it still would be pretty awesome ;).
