'''1)''' Dan's voice in ''MediEvil 2'' sounds very different from his voice in the first game and ''Resurrection''. Did you also provide his voice-over in that game or was it a different person? | '''1)''' Dan's voice in ''MediEvil 2'' sounds very different from his voice in the first game and ''Resurrection''.

'''JW '''- The original idea for ''Med 2'' had Zarok being kept prisoner in the Tower of London and Dan had to free him. The two of them then had to work together in an easy alliance. In the final game it was just his spell book. The ending was really only meant as a bit of fun, that Palethorn had used the spell book to travel back and rewrite time - Dan had not only travelled back in time but also to an alternative time line. But most of all it was just a silly B-movie twist ending for fun. | '''JW '''- The original idea for ''Med 2'' had Zarok being kept prisoner in the Tower of London and Dan had to free him.

Be sure to check out Chris Sorrel's new spaceman game (coming soon) and my sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel - Surface Tension (coming in Sept). Both projects have a certain quirkiness that Medievil fans might appreciate. | Be sure to check out Chris Sorrel's new spaceman game (coming soon) and my sci-fi/fantasy graphic novel - Surface Tension (coming in Sept).

'''Q''': I'd like to ask if it would be alright if I could ask you about a concept for ''MediEvil 2'' which wound up not being used: You [[Jason_Wilson#February_10.2C_2013|mentioned]] that the original idea for ''MediEvil 2'' involved Zarok being kept prisoner in the Tower of London and Dan had to free him, after which they would then work together in an uneasy alliance. | '''Q''': I'd like to ask if it would be alright if I could ask you about a concept for ''MediEvil 2'' which wound up not being used: You [[Jason_Wilson#February_10.2C_2013|mentioned]] that the original idea for ''MediEvil 2'' involved Zarok being kept prisoner in the Tower of London and Dan had to free him, after which they would then work together in an uneasy alliance. | ||

PS - if any of you chaps want a preview of my current project then you can 'like' my Jay Gunn Facebook page. Jay Gunn is my graphic novel writing pseudonym. I'm working on a 'science fiction fantasy horror' comic book series - "Surface Tension." There are some crazy ideas in the story and art and if you liked the art or the games that the Cambridge Studio developed then you'll probably like this story too! :) It'll be released in 2014 by Titan Books. | PS - if any of you chaps want a preview of my current project then you can 'like' my Jay Gunn Facebook page.

'''Q''': Actually, if it's still alright, there's one other question I have regarding a cut level in ''MediEvil 2'': someone on the MediEvil Boards found mention of a file called "[[Parliament]]" and I've heard that this was intended to be a level in the game. Is this true? If so, what would it have been like? | '''Q''': Actually, if it's still alright, there's one other question I have regarding a cut level in ''MediEvil 2'': someone on the MediEvil Boards found mention of a file called "[[Parliament]]" and I've heard that this was intended to be a level in the game.
