Game dev and especially design documents tend to be treated with a high level of secrecy (not totally impossible to find some, just rare) so I very much like this kind of content and would love to see the rest of the document.

mmh. True that. I'm still kind of surprised every time I see that current releases of Doom include the original design document... You just don't get to see these kind of documents much...

Well, anything corporate tends to be secret by default (they'll require a reason to release something, not a reason not to.) Also, there isn't usually much flair put into these either (unless the decision has been made to release them after the game is complete) since they're just meant to be internal guidelines for the company.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8ekfN2i3KiWlHU.html Christ died for your sins and rose on the third day, showing that anyone who trusts in him for salvation, will have everlasting life. (John 11:25-26) "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Yeah, some of the new character ideas were borderline fanfiction levels of hammy and I don't think Crash Bandicoot of all things needs to have dramatic character dynamics like that. But the idea of Cortex using other planets as experiments and distress to their ecosystems is a solid premise that plays into his scientific ability pretty well. And it's a logical follow-up from Crash 3's time travel premise.

To be honest, I'm glad a lot of the story concepts presented here didn't make it in, and the Elemental Masks feel more in-tune with the Crash universe than Elli Mental, but she's still okay. However, a lot of the progression sounds more interesting than what we got in The Wrath of Cortex, since one of Wrath's main problems was that it was TOO much the same as before with its linear level design.
