Hmm... interesting I think you were a bit harsh on some things, but I can see where you're coming from. Maybe it'll help if I explain a couple things:



5D

Well, it didn't really have anything to do with "thinking of it". We had thought of it a while before we switched to it, the problem was technology. When DirectX8 came out, it greatly simplified things and made it a much easier option to switch too. Also, about the name... we didn't make it up. It's just generally known (at least among the VB gaming community) as 5D.



Skitch

Sorry pardner, methinks Skitch is here to stay I personally really like him, and judging by the crazy video game characters we've seen in the past (remember the Sonic games? A hedgehog? An echidna?) I don't think most people will mind. Besides, being a Possum lends itself to certain abilities... (play dead, perhaps?) Wait until the new story comes out and then make up your mind. Which brings me to...



Story

Well... I'm not sure what anybody but the team really knows about the story, except maybe that Skitch Possum is the good guy and some Weasels are bad guys. Trust me, it'll be better than that. We're just starting to discuss some new ideas, as well as various old ones (which nobody knows about either) on our development boards. Anyway, bottom line, the story is so up in the air right now that don't worry about it.



Sprite

Um... well, it isn't final yet, but what's the problem with it? I don't see how you could say it looks like an MSPaint creation. I guess I'm not quite sure what you're expecting... I thought he looked just as good as Jazz, altho in a different style.



Sprite editor

Yep. I'm surprised you didn't know about it already, I've mentioned it before. I had completed one, but just like PossumEDIT, it needs rebuilding. I suppose I could give you a screenie of the old one if you really want tho.



I hope that explains things a bit better. As for the offer, I don't think we're really needing level mappers yet, since PossumEDIT isn't done. Thanks anyway
