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.

I can very well understamnd Freddy's POV.  And I personally prefer as well, not having to wait that long !!   Smiley

Besides, with projects that are this big, I tend to think it's even more playable "in sections".

As an example: I'm sure if I had M M & M in sections, I'd play it more often.....   Cool

Why don't you make episodes like me? And maybe custom art?  Huh

Btw, StarCraft Ep. 3 :: Acid Plant is ready!  Smiley

I like Freddy's idea of having the mansion in sections.  See Catacombs for example.

... Although I suspect we'll see a lot of your typical multicolored doors again....

Objection! Wink All doors will have only one colour. And I am not responsable for the fact that there are 6 colours. Including gray ...

Well. Version 1.0 with the first 2 houses is downloadable now. I am especially interested in, if you (all) feel this "mansion" as easy. Is good to know before continuing!

Nice mansion, Freddy. Definitely easy.

Thanks for all your hard work to get so much done before you have to be "away" for a while.

Version 2.0 from
A Deserted Holiday Village
is expanded with a 3rd house and is out now. Downloadable at the usual places.

Referring to "our sins", I think that ADHV proves, in my opinion, that e.g. rectangular mansions on easy level are possible, that the following order of keys and doors in a limited area does NOT matter, etc. It all depends ...

@ Colleague-Designers:
Major problem in this mansion is the "gift" of shields. I want to have shields in ADHV, since it is an easy mansion. But too much shields prevent taking keys AND may lead to Jack-stucks.

@ Experienced players:
Try to reach SAVE 2 with ... 6 shields.
