Lunatide,

If you haven't already applied, please do. We could really use someone with your ideas and experience!
In reply to the ideas, many factors of the game have already been decided; for instance, rather than orbs giving you lucidity, I believe the current concept is that you have to reality check and stay still to make your lucidity recharge, which may also be causing a blur effect depending on how low it is. Anyhow, come on over and we can get you caught up with everything that's going on.

On a side note, I'm not sure that we've gotten our company name out there; most of our signatures say "Lucid Dream Video Game Project." For a while now, we have been known as AstralSoft Entertainment Arts!
