Hey again!
I see tetris is not of much interest here and now.
I only need some input then I will try to bring it back to life. Add more depth to the game. More strategy.
Hope this bump yields some results.
Thanks again,
Ori

We're making plain jane Tetris, so according to him that would be not his flavor. But I'm more than happy to take any (good) advice sent my way [smile]

Alpha_ProgDes and Shawnre, thanks for the replies but creating a normal tetris game is not my goal.
My aim is to create a creative and innovative tetris game that will appeal to non-tetris fans as well by incorporating different features that can be found in other genres.
As I am not a tetris fan myself (it is nice, but 5 minutes of play are enough for me to get the hang of it), I find it challenging, especially because I haven't played enough tetris games in order to dig out some of the nicer features - such as cooperative or competitive split screen mode for example.
I have a lot of passion for games and would like to emphasize the "gameplay" (call it as you will) in this game and would like to know what other gamers enjoy in tetris that I might have overlooked so I can reserve some of these features, "gameplay" or mechanics in the game I am planning.
I am researching this myself as well but would like to hear opinions outside the borders of my head.
Thanks in advance,
Ori

Sorry....
I entered the Game Design forum to check my thread and I then noticed it was in the help wanted...
How can I move it to the Game Design forums?
Thanks, sorry and ____

By "tetris", do you mean the original Tetris with the 4-square blocks, cleared by making a complete line.. or do you just mean Tetris-style falling block games in general?
