I think DROD is the best game ever. It combines sroty ( speech ), scripting, good levels and action and logic. But, Caravel Games, should make other games ( in my opinion ), or minigames, or flashgames, because, making one game is good (im not saying to stop working on drod), but, a company with much different games, will be better. Don't stop working on drod, but work on something else.

Have you anything in mind, or are you just giving free business advice?

I was thinking about some logic games or riddles, some Drod Style games, or also some flash games. I haven't got some ideas in mind... I just wanted to give a tip.

That guy from the JtRH adverts springs to mind. Why make one game, when you can make a dozen small ones and sell them at full price?

But seriously, I think Caravel should continue doing what they do best. Working on other stuff would obviously result in less DROD. If you want a logic flash game, I heard this thing called the Internet might have a few of those.

I wouldn't want Rolls Royce to start automating.

I wouldn't want a team who's great at making something great to try to make a bunch of smaller things which may or may not be great. I'd prefer the focus on the great thing, looking at every nook and cranny for improvement, and making the great thing approach perfection (or even attain it.) Yes, I think DROD, as it is, is a perfect game, in terms of playing it. I'm not certain about building holds for it yet, because I don't have too much experience with that, and I don't imagine that scripting is all too simple. But gameplay is perfect.

I expect TCB to have perfect gameplay as well. I know Caravel won't let me down there. If they had a bunch of side projects, I'd expect greatness, but not perfection. Guess what I want.

I consider SttD to be a multiplayer DROD, and not another game. I'm not expecting perfect gameplay at first with multiple players, but I'm expecting high quality, as it's the first time they've done multiplayer.

Erik has vaguely mentioned other projects in the distant future that aren't DROD-related before, hasn't he? Frankly, it doesn't matter though -- because of the care and craft that all Caravel products have had so far, I'll be keeping an eye on whatever projects, DROD-related or not, they come out with.
