If I were able to provide the ability for custom mansions to have online high scores (maybe even protected, so users can't cheat by modifying the mansion), would this be something that would be worth $3.99 or possibly $4.99 to you? (An upgrade if you want this feature.)

I am not promising anything, just looking into the possibility, because it might indeed be possible.

to me, definitely yes. The price of MM is low as it is considering what you get (I usually never buy software, I find freeware that do the same thing, but nothing free is as good as this :) ) and adding an extra 4 bucks would be like adding nothing :)

Also, it would be fun to have the scores kept somewhere safe, and also it would trigger (me) to replay many of the mansions

Is this something that would ship with the extension pack only, or with the current version as well?

If added, this would ship as a $3.99 addition to the current game, and maybe a free part of the sequel, built-in.

I'd wondered why you didn't offer an an expansion pack every year or two (less expensive than a complete game) but a bit more than 3.99. Now that I've seen some of the testing process, some of that is cleared up.

Haha. Yeah.

Although the more complete answer is, there just aren't very many mansion designers who design the style of mansion that I'm looking for, when I want built-in mansions done. Most custom mansions on this forum tend to try to use things in the game in ways they were not intended to be used, and they attempt to create interest through that, rather than through what I'd consider to be solid mansion design (that focuses on exploration and, to a lesser extent, puzzle-solving).

But the testing process is a part of it. ;-)

I LOVE the idea of having high scores for custom games. Yes, I'd pay for that. That's one reason I played and replayed and replayed the original mansions was to try to get a high score.
