FACES
30.01.2007 at 19:55:48

Dear friends,

to compensate for the waiting time until the official release of PoG and the Discotheque and all the other designer's mansions waiting in the wings, I thought I'd share with you

- a stupid little experimental mansion I made, called

FACES

.

Actually, it's not that experimental, apart from a few quirks...but find out for yourselves:

EDIT

(Jan. 30th; 2:40 pm): I accidentially uploaded the wrong (early) version. This is the new one. Sorry.

EDIT 2 (Feb. 3, 2007):

Attachment has been removed. FACES is now downloadable from the OFFICIAL LIST.

Beat it in 2:52 with $9000, 100% secrets and 14 lives. Also I noticed that in the first room there was a hidden ladder, right? How did you get layer six dirt to not cover Jack's feet but just cover the ladder? I've been wonering that for along time.

How can I ever continue the testing of PoG? Roll Eyes

Nice intermezzo, aquaMat. In my opinion also small mansions deserve a place at the List of Completed Mansions. But to get listed you should have a look at 2 JSs. There is one in the exitroom at the left moneybag. And the other one is, once being down, when you are missing keys.

Btw, I don't agree that it is a hard mansion. Although none of the secrets is hinted, the mansion is so small, that everybody should be able to find them in a "normal" way. What is more: one can't continue without finding the secrets.

Personal conclusion: nice faces, worth being listed, normal difficulty, but 2 fixes needed.

My guess would have been an easy NORMAL.... (if such a thing exists), but yes, it's true, one has to find the secrets in order to continue, and once you're down (and missed some keys) you're not able to get back up.

To cater for that situation I have made 2 keys multicolored ones (as those are the ones probably everybody finds), and then will still be able to finish, albeit with a few money-bags öess. Wink

I'm surprised and pleased that you think it's worthy of inclusion in the standard list... and I'll check the JS problem(s) later this evening. I'll send an update soon....

(BTW: The JS in the exitroom I was aware of, I just thought it was so obvious that you'd get stuck if you climb up there Undecided

)

But you may not surprize "starting" players with JSs. Once it is ready, you may send it to me by email, for release.

Just what I thought until Psychotronic, Freddy and other betatesters of my mansions told me otherwise. You have to assume that if there is a possible JS situation, some players are bound to get there.

What do you mean? While climbing down, Jack is completely covered with L6-without-fringe. And when at the bottom you can see that the cover in L6-w-f is only 2 bricks wide. Because, when he tries to go to the left you immediately see his toes. Is that what you wanted to know, Wingy?

I din't know that we had dirt in Midnight Mansion? It is the neatest game in the world. Yeah! Grin

What do you mean by "layer-6 dirt" ?? If I should guess what you mean, I direct you to the command "draw layer-6 with / without fringe". (??)

Make sure you've read and agree with the rules of posting here! The forums are run by three administrators. Read here who they are and what you may (and may not) expect from them. A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.
