About ActionSoft
Back in 2005, I release a game for the Mac called Midnight Mansion. To my surprise, it sold over 10,000 copies and developed a loyal following of fans.In more recent years, updates to OS X have made the game non-operational. In addition, changes by my web host made the registration system nearly unusable. As such, I was very slow to process orders, often taking months or weeks, as it was a painful process to process just one order by hand via a mostly-broken system. Due to my lack of support, I stopped accepting orders for the game in 2024.
Over the years I've wished I could update the game, but the massive task of undertaking another port seemed overwhelming.
Enter the modern age of AI tools. In 2024, I started experimenting with using Claude Sonnet and Cursor to undertake the heavy lifting of porting the game to JavaScript, so it can run on the web. This has gone much better than I expected, and I am now on track to release a full port of Midnight Mansion HD for the web sometime in mid-2025. I also have plans to port the Level Builder, Midnight Mansion 2, and add brand new features to the game as well, all in due time.
I'd like to apologize to those customers and fans who attempted to purchase the game over recent years and have experienced long delays and lack of support. By starting over, I will be able to maintain this new version of the game much better once it is finished, and I'm looking forward to it having new life breathed into it.
I appreciate the support of the community and the fans who still have such passion for the game even so many years later, and I hope to make you all happy once again when this new version comes out.
