I rather like the sound of the word 'Zeitlineal' and I wonder if "Measure of Time" or "Measurer of Time" could still be as interesting as I think they are; less ostentatious than "Controller of Time" but interesting. Maybe a Watcher-like chronicler or an engineer that keeps the mechanics of time working. Food for thought.

Assigning a price to your game is rather putting the cart before the horse. <3 Design, develop, then gauge price...you'll want to recoup your costs (time, help, assets, whatever) and it's hard to determine just what those will be prior to having a game. Focus on a playable prototype first. :)

Cheers for all that. Also, I suppose your right about the price thing, but then again, the first few versions will be free.

Ah, this guy is a little short tempered, and tends to blow (he's based
off a volcano). When Erderra is angry, *gulp*, he tends to lose the
plot, and is very, very impatient.

Ok, this makes a lot more sense then. You could perhaps reflect Erderra's volcanic origins in the description. The myth simply states that "a ball of rock appeared" and I naturally assumed that to be granite or something. If, for example, a flame had appeared and out of it the black rock that would become Erderra, then the intended origin would have been a lot clearer.

Also, don't forget that this is in another world, you just don't know why the do and don't need to support life.

Again, I naturally assumed that everything but the Monsterra would be similar (in some form) to our known world.

As I think about it, this is an important point to writing your creation myth:

The reader should probably already know what is being created. That is after all, the way actual creation myths come about. People observe their world and then begin to speculate - trying to deduce how everything came about. If the world you are creating is not our own, then it would probably help to first establish how exactly this world is different, and use your creation myth to specifically explain those differences. That way, when we read the creation myth, everytime that we would naturally have a reaction like: "the order of these events seems all wrong", we can immediately understand "and THAT's why THIS is different in his world".

Alright, then, I'll do something like that then. Cheers for all of that.

Everything but the Monsterra is almost the same. Your right. It's just the Monsterra that require so much less than life on earth does. Thanks for all this advice, though, it really helps out.
