She is therefore responsible for the magic shop dialogue. She left most of the other messages (object descriptions and interactions) to me and the programmers, although she handled ones critical to the story.<br /><br />@JosephCurwen: The resemblance between al Njum and nujuum is not a coincidence. Lori used an English-Arabic dictionary and carefully chose most of the names to have appropriate meanings. Although sometimes a name is just a name, that isn't the way to bet.<br /><br />Incidentally, the apothecary sells pills and oils because we reasoned that potions would evaporate in the desert climate. Pills are much more portable and practical there.Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-84858419038251061392014-07-18T11:21:26.186+10:002014-07-18T11:21:26.186+10:00Yes!!!

It's quite hard to do when you know the game's map as well as I. You might want to make sure you head out the gates before too long, though!
