Q2. Do you have any plans for a new game, then?
Vonwert: Yes. One that contains little stories that all come together at the end. It will be another puzzle filled adventure game. Booby traps and pirate treasure.

Q3. Oh? That's good to hear! What's this new game called and would you mind telling us about it?
Vonwert: Well, the temporary title is called "Cursed Desires". It is about a young college student, Lex Johnson, who happens to become the sole inheritor of a wealthy man's fortune and legacy. In the man's collection of antiques, is a diary. The diary of Anne Bonny. One of the most famous female pirates to ever roam the ocean. But her story was lost to history, until Lex reads her diary and discovers the location of her lost treasure. Each treasure holds a curse. Lex takes it upon himself to find each treasure and find what happen to Anne Bonny.

Q4. That sounds pretty interesting. What kinds of gameplay do you plan to incorporate into this game?
Vonwert: I plan on having puzzle dungeons in which Lex will have to travel through to reach each treasure. Mainly, Lex will first read the section of the diary, where the player will see flashbacks to Anne's story, then it will go to the modern time, where Lex will search for that certain treasure. Each puzzle dungeon will be themed around the treasure, or around some myth. There will mini-games throughout, drinking game, simon-says game, ect. I also plan on having intricate boobytraps that will set off when the player gets something wrong. Another feature will be a heart bar, where when you hit a booby trap, you will loose a heart. when all 3 hearts are gone, Lex is dead. I also plan on having side scroller parts with Lex's pet bird. He will have to fly through places that Lex can't enter or reach.

Q5. Very nice! What kind of experience do you hope to give to players of this game?
Goob: I hope to give them a few scares this time. I plan on doing different, simple things to actually scare the player -- which can be a hard thing to do in RPGMaker. I also want them to learn about Anne Bonny, and to just enjoy themselves.

Q6. What has been the hardest part about taking "Cursed Desires" from mind to RPG Maker?
Vonwert: The hardest thing would be trying to figure out where things should go in what order. I always have a hard time with that. I was orginally going to have Lex read the diary in parts throughout each part of a single dungeon, but I found that would have been too much work to do.

Q7. How long do you think it'll take before we get a demo or full version? Are you going to release one?
Vonwert: No demo. I tend to make the game from beggining to end, so I won't be releasing a demo, but as for the full version, it will be sometime just before the deadline of the rpgmpavilion.com contest 3.

Q8. What do you think about people still using RPG Maker 1 after being released for so long? Any words of encouragement?
Vonwert: I believe it just shows how a simple sprite based maker is still very dear in people's hearts. It can be easily used to make games and play them. Many people have pushed the limits and still do of the maker. I am very glad people are still making games for it, and I really can't wait to play everyone's new game. I am looking forward to playing Gustav's new game and Czechs' new game!

Q9. Do you have any more projects on the horizon after you wrap up this one?
Vonwert: Well, to be honest, since I made my dective game, and once I finish Cursed Desires, I probably won't be making anymore games till a new maker comes out.

Thanks for your time, Vonwert!
