Ideas.

Alright, I'll use the berries and seeds idea.

I came up with a few of my own just now too.

Grease: Used to open tough-sealed objects.

Cloth: Used to make torches. By combining wood, cloth, and oil, you can make a torch that lasts for few minutes. Also can be used to wipe your hands of grease.

Petals: By mixing petals, berries, and seeds, various healing pastes can be created.

Sadly, all this mixing stuff will require I make a lot of custom menus, but I suppose it's worth it.

You should have tinder, and some kind of flint so you can build a fire anywhere.

Iron Ore and such for making weapons or having a blacksmith make them for you. With that you can also add rare resources that can be mixed with weapon/armor making that'll produce one of a kind weaponry, armory, or accessories.

Seeds for planting.

Berries, nuts, and other vegetation for hunting or attracting certain animals.

Idk what makes gunpowder, but you should be able to find resources to make bombs and such.

Um... I'll post any others if I have 'em.

EDIT: Oh, if you use that due's idea about blowing open locks you can make it so if you use too much or too strong of a resource it could blow up the chest, destroy or damage the item inside, or hurt you. Likewise, if you use to little or not strong enough a resource, it won't open.

This makes for a lot of variables though.

wow, I was thinking that too!

PS: the game looks great!  the battle demo was alot like sword of mana but harder (that game WAS too easy anyway), well, you have my full support with this game, so don't hold out on us and give this idea up!

 I didn't read all, so I'm not sure if it was suggested, but I aways like Scythes as weapons.

MIC, why on earth didn't you back it up on an external disk?? 0_o

All my materials ideas have already been suggested >.>

[Meiscool-2]

I didn't get a chance to back it up. The computer was taken away before they even told me it was going to be wiped.

ZKX has a 5 or so month old version of the game. Once he sends that to me, I'll probally let all you guys play that. However, this game, though having mostly the same plot and characters, isn't going to be like it used to.

as long as its an ABS I'm happy, I'm bored, and legend of mana is
is kinda a side thing now that I finished it.  

BTW: IMO having a feeling of impending doom (I am in love with how you put that ) would be awesome, but at the same time too many games nowadays have too much of a feel like that.  I love how the sad, slowly decaying civilization field was added to valkyrie profile (well, other than at Yamato) so, if you can master something like that, I personally thinkt that would be cool.

That won't work at all with a survival horror styled game.

Metal.Tears.Survival.Horror.

Have I missed something?

[Bluhman]

Yes.

[m a k o]

When did this happen? So is the game completely different?

[ZeroKirbyX]

Yes. It's now pretty much a zombie game. Imagine Time Splitters on RM2K. That's how MIC explained it to me.

I thought it was 2k3
