Chronic Logic

I agree! I have been annoyed by this all along, but didn't know what the correct terminology (pretensioning) was.

I agree with all of these ideas!!! Mission based puzzle games kick ass! I could really see myself sweating as I watch the clock count down till the train starts to cross the bridge!!!! That would be AWESOME!!!!

OOOHHH Great idea!!!! DO IT!

Yes, I agree, CL has done a great job of lurking in the community and making the requested changes!!!!

"Man the wench winch!"

Hmmmm, this idea has potential. Let's here more opinions people. . .

I agree! a simple sky texture would be nice.

Better graphics will attract more people. Improve the graphics and the world will beat a path to your door!

Hey no problem, we all have had one time when the answer is staring us in the face and we don't see it ;-)

The random map generator idea is great! I donb't know about the multi player ideas. The reason why I'm not sure is that it may take alot of code to implement across a network (I couild be wrong) and Pontifex to me is a great solitare game. I like playing it alone. (By the way, I'm not a loaner or hermit :-)

I believe that broken beams that are swinging freely can affect the rest of the bridge. . .

Another great idea! ARE YOU LISTENING CL? This feature would absolutely push Pontifex into another level!

This very idea is being debated in the New Game Ideas forum! I think that would be the place to continue this thread. By the way, I never thought to actually try making a skyscraper with Pontifex, very smart of you!

Very cool idea. Maybe it's even the basis for a contest. "Who can make the most accurate model of the Golden Gate Bridge?" CL would supply the landscape for the level and would judge the bridges on scale, strength, and fidelity to the original. One slight problem with this is that the current state of the editor and materials are not quite up to the task of accurately modeling a real bridge. See the discussion of pretensioning cables in this forum for one reason.

Engineers have been experimenting with composite materials for years. What about carbon fiber decking or kevlar cables???
