Hello, I have a question about the dialogue with Mithalas after his defeat. Do you intend to add some more art or maybe a in-game cutscene to replace the black screens, or was that intentional?
-
the dark cut scene I think heightened the anticipation and the release after defeating Mithalis, and wondering what happened next. all you hear is a roar in the darkness. personally I think it worked great on a narrative level, not that I would be opposed to more art or animations :P
-
I thought it really helped the mood. The blackness sort of signified (to me at least) that Mathalas was dying, and that was like his final monologue. Why would you want to muck that up with pictures?

A couple people have been puzzled by that. I wasn't confused, but I did like what Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time did with a similar scene: they had some slowly falling mist on the screen during the dialog, so there was no thinking that your screen cut out on you.
