  • Different particle graphic for Dogmatix pointing where to go next

    • Fighting the group of enemies where the Pacman enemy is introduced isn't required to open the next door
    • The alcove walls in the room connecting the 1st/2nd level chunks of Venetia were originally decorated with the face of Mario (based on the boxart for Super Mario Sunshine), which was changed to a generic Roman soldier in the final
