A Beautiful Nightmare

This is mine and Fireball16's old gmcJam2 entry.
Yup, I'm still working on it!

ABN is a story driven explorer rpg where you follow the strange journey of a young boy named Jack, as he struggle to survive in a hostile enviroment and find a way home.

Well there is actually alot more to the story then that but I'm currently polishing the first chapter, so no sneak peek yet.

The current tech demo can be downloaded here.Please note that it's ONLY a tech demo, we're still working on the mechanics for some parts and the story isn't implemented yet due to a rewrite!

Press F1 for info about the controls and current areas available!

Now there is some things I'd like to hear your opinion on:

Currently there is only two kinds of enemies, namely the skeletons and shaderunners.
What kind of monsters would you like to see?
(The mainstory involves 3 different enviroments namely:
Demon realm, Human world and Angel realm.)


As you have probably noticed while playing the game you can freely walk over the gaps, lava, over mountains etc.
This will be fixed later but I'm wondering if the freedom to walk into certain death areas should remain?
(Walking off cliffs, into lava pools and falling down gaps is my main concern about this)


How restrained should the player be?
I want the player to enjoy the game universe and have the freedom to do as they wish without forcing them to continue the main story,
but the main story is a vital part of the game!


I would also like to discuss the story later, but that will have to wait for a while.

Any replies would be great!
