- Yes, I did plan on having momentos, but only for the final version. I didn't do it for ver.0.9 because of time constraints (wanted it ready for Halloween)
- Lighting: Again, because of time constraints. But also it's an issue of Graphics vs Performance. I'm pushing for a smooth framerate because I even want players with mid-range PCs to be able to play this without any major lag. too many spot lights and even point lights are one of the main culprits of low framerates.
- You're right about the tinderboxes. But I'm gonna keep the oil the same (for the most part. I might tweak it here and there). The problem I've noticed as I have seen in many Youtube playthroughs is that gamers tend to play a CS differently from the main campaign; Meaning that in a CS people just use the lantern and forget to turn it off even when they're walking through areas that are well lit. Whereas in Dark Descent the player was always mindful of how much oil he/she had because of how rare it was. In Key to Freedom oil actually isn't that rare (if you keep your eyes open). there should be plenty enough for the pitch black areas, tinderboxes will make up the rest.

Thanks for the critique. I will implement some of your suggestions.
Hey, don't worry about it Smile We all have troubles with time. I had a big load of trouble when I was trying to release my first CS because of time constraints (in which it came to breaking promises of when it was gonna come out). And so, when the day finally came where I released it: it failed. Big time. There was a game breaking bug and hence, everyone got over it. Because I took too long to create a damn patch because I didn't know what was the issue. So time had screwed me over.

As for the lights and worrying of lag: very true. I forgot that if there is too much light, FPS gets hit hard. Smart thinking, friend.

Ah, I get you about the oil. Again, very true. It even happens to me at times, lol :p
