Fading Purple

[bugfartboy]

Ah! Something that you caught and I overlooked. So perhaps the reason that they fade away to purple is because that is simply their mind "going out", as the Sight isn't really just an overview of everything but rather a continuous feed of information from multiple living creatures in q certain vicinity. Thus, when someone dies, their mind stops feeding information to the hero, effectively saying that they sorta simply cease to exist. That makes sense.

It does, but you, as the player, get a picture. Not just mental information. So that wouldn't work, unfortunately. I like the idea, though.

hmm... i totally overlooked the fact that Dualiver is using the sight to see things, and that what you "see" is what he sees with his mind's eye.

[bugfartboy]

Steely, why would the player not see what the hero sees? It makes sense that when someone dies, they vanish for the player, as the hero loses his feed from them.

And it leaves a mental afterimage!

[bugfartboy]

How? What afterimage?

[Xemadus Echina]

the fading purple is the after image.  Also, this entire game makes more sense that you're seeing the world through Dualiver's sight.  Although the one exception is crypt 2.  Since lighting doesn't affect the sight the rotating lights wouldn't really affect his sight.
