Title: Unusual start for a new Mansion
Post by Surcouf on 15.07.2008 at 18:44:21

Hi everybody,

working on a 80 rooms-Mansion after Warrior and Sarkozyland, and about to finish it, I need some MMers' advices...
My first idea is to begin this Mansion by a sort of teaser which means a "last-chance-Jack" after loosing 6 lives, then a save-pedestal and a new start onto the whole Maansion. I thought this was original, but I was told by Aquamat (my favorite beta-tester:-)) this idea is a bit tedious ("...drove me nuts!").
From collective advice, can I keep this idea on?
I attach the incriminated Mansion's part.
Thank you.

Hmm, I wouldn't do that. It's frustrating and might discourage people from wanting to play the mansion. Maybe you could throw in some shields that are a challenge to get to, but possible?

Looking forward to playing the finished mansion, though.

Hi Surcouf!

This reply is a little late. I just wanted to let you know that I would have loved this start, because I would have been able to start off Daedalus with 12 lives.

Here's the screen-shot:

If you want, I'll let you know how I did it.

Well, I just realized that everybody can get 12 lives if they pull the lever for the gold only after saving in 14488. I should mention that I only lost one life in getting to this point, though.
