Chronic Logic

This looks very cool, but isn't it really just Pontifex II with MUCH better graphics?? Is there more to it than that?

Like Pontifex and Chronic Logic, this website and the logo are unassuming, that is, until you delve deeper and realize what precious treasure they harbor!

Yes! Great idea. This would certainly add to the community!

Top Secret is one of my all-time favorite movies! Anyone remember Pap Shmear???

Wow! My post is still here almost 2 years later! Nice admin job on these forums. Most places craxh their forums monthly and have no backups! Hello to all, and just want you CL guys to know that I still love your games, keep 'em coming. . . . . So when do i get my skyscraper builder game?http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>? lol http://www.pontifex2.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

I understand that some people would be sensitive to this type of game, ####, I live in New York and was stuck in my car trying to get into NYC when the attacks happened. Luckily, nobody in my family was affected, but I do know several peole who lost loved ones. Having said that, I believe that most people would still want to play this game. Here's another point, how many people in the world even know that Pontifex or Chronic Logic even exist? Sorry CL, I don't mean to put your small, but great company down, but I don't really think that most people would notice. And from a slightly weird point of view, you may end up getting lots of publicity for your company, which may sound bad, but as the saying goes, "There's no such thing as bad publicity." If you guys at CL are on the fence about whether to pursue "Skyscraper Builder," I say GO FOR IT!

You could make it more challenging by forcing builders to make increeasingly taller and skinnier buildings. The skinnier a building is, the more susceptible it is to collapse! You could also require builders to build around obstacles. . .

I sent this idea directly to the chronic logic in an Email a few days ago, but i thought others might want to hear about it and help improve on or change the idea. My idea is "SKYSCRAPER BUILDER." You start out with a foundation and you have to build a steel and/or concrete skeleton for the building, then add on an outer wall. I don't think you'd worry much about the insides( Elevators, office space, people etc.), as that was already covered in Sim Tower. Once the building is built, it is exposed to wind, eqrthquakes and other forces to see if it can stand. Maybe there could be a variation on this game, where you need to demolish the building using strategically placed explosives to get it to fall the right way!!!! Imagine designing a building and then challenging other users to demolish it in a certain way!!!

I agree with Kvinge. It's a great concept, but beyond the scope of CL's resources and prolly not viable in todays gaming market.

I like it! It's sort of like the skyscraper builder idea, but seems to offer more of a challenge due to the moving a weight over a certain distance and/or height" idea."

I remember the game you are remembering. I never played it, but it looked fun. Man, that had to be at least 7 years ago! I agree that this idea has potential. Imaging building the car's body and frame from several different types of materials (Aluminut, steel, fiberglass, carbon fiber), then choosing an engine (4 cylinder all the way up to v12), transmission (auto or manual) and tires. Then go out and crash test it and performance test it. Kewl!

I agree, I can't remember the last time I saw anchor points floating in space on a bridge!

True, but somehow (like the easy arch builder idea) I think it would ultimately take away from the game. I must sound like a purist, but that's not my aim here. I just feel that part of the challenge, fun and art of Pontifex is building your bridge completely from scratch!

Some simple public domain midi music would be easy to implement. You know, just something lite and simple on a low volume.

I can envision a whole bridge made of a web of cables with just a few stiff supports at strategic places. AWESOME!
