Back at the first checkpoint.  Still missing the 50.  Have all secrets. Have the gold coin in the flame in 16301.

I have €3.425, TWO secrets and TWO keys (blue and red) at the saving pedestal in room 16099.  Which means I missed the €50 after that.

When arriving at the saving pedestal in room 16099 for the very first time it is possible to have $ 3.425 with 1 secret and one key.

After an extra walk to CP1 I also can assure that the given amount of dollars and secrets is correct.

And the issues in the two mentioned rooms are fixed and will be seen in the next update.

If you made a save in room 16099 please let me know your score.

Thx for playing, testing, reporting!

I will surely have a look at it. No fixings are going to change the amount of money at CP1. That is a promise.

I will also check my score at CP1 and if it is correct, I will try to make a shortlist of the spots where your Jack could have missed the $ 50.

Testing Rainbow 003:
16299: No point in releasing the left spider as there is nothing up there.
15899:  Jack can jump to the spot he is standing on without opening the green door, see pic. Luckily he has a green key

Checkpoint 1:  All secrets but missing €50 as last time.

BNW Rainbow 003 zip is enclosed. It now ends at checkpoint 4 in the first room of the grey area and has 9 save pedestals.

All saved games made in the previous version from BNW Rainbow may be used, except the last one in room 17501. That is because I was forced to correct mistakes between the saves 8 and 9.

I hope that the revision of the 3rd area only contains improvements.

In the most recent BNW Rainbow update from March the 24th there is a mistake in the text of a sign. Where you see '"14 levers" it should be "14 colour codes".

It will be fixed in the next update.

Late afternoon I started with checking the 3rd area and I got immediately confronted with mistakes in room 17501 (pic after the fixing).

Previously this room was the start of the 3rd area, but because of the loop it now is the last room of the 2nd area. That is why I already changed the colour of the walls into blue. And the background. But I clearly forgot the ladders that need to be red (rose) and to change the music!


As important was the lack of quality of the hint . That is why I moved the silver coin from the lower right corner to a hinting spot. That now invisible coin needs to be triggered at a well chosen point. Previously there was only , the in this mansion unusual and . That created a situation where Jack was more or less forced to start jumping and kicking all around.

The answer (my friend, is blowing in the wind).

There are MM-reasons. Of course. I'm still finding real mistakes like some lay-out issues, stuff that is still too difficult and (h)JSs. Exact science. And when it's wrong it's wrong and needs to be corrected.

But there are also things about this particular mansion. Some of them I mentioned before.

The first purple area was built with nearly no Ts, in contrary to all other sections. That felt wrong. I also didn't like the row of the dark rooms. Single they felt acceptable, but as a row too hard.

The reason for the change of TZ-Blue is completely different. I never forgot the challenge about the loop where the demand was to ensure that Jack was forced to visit all the parts from this area. Because the executing of this idea on an already existing bunch of rooms is complex I did postpone it. And indeed it took a lot of time to get it done (I hope). Once you revisit this area you will understand why it took so long.

I don't expect major road works in most of the other areas. Only corrections and improvements. However the ladder-vine combination near the end of the mansion will move to the grey capital of BNW.

But besides MM-reasons, it is also personal. The builder, even more than the game, gives me fun, joy, satisfaction, happiness. And because I am not a creative person, the designing of BNW gives me proudness. What deserves neat work. That I want to do.

And in the end BNW is also training for the change of MM1-MMM to MM2-MMM. One of the challenges there will be to change the main road, because several mazes were on sideways ...
