The object of correct perception is ultimate reality. The object of deceptive perception is conventional reality.

Being a writer that's how I plan out my works, and similarly that's usually how they set out movies. And put lots of secrets in as well, I loves me secrets IP: Logged
BranxSyvern Junior Member Posts: 29 From:Bellingham WA USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 06-18-2001 12:27 AM I have the same prob. I first start off with a **** load of ideas and they all come together... for the first ten minutes of game play, then I just get tired of working on the same level for so long. I also start to copy parts of levels from all ready exsisting levels from the trilogy... laim huh. But I found that like someone said before... just stop for a while... for me a few days and sudenly I can't wait to get going again. So I suggest you try that. Hope I was of help... IP: Logged
