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.

The Mansion Family: Mind Mines
27.02.2007 at 19:33:18
 
Dear friemds,

I want to inform you that I finished the first installment of
THE MANSION FAMILY
, subtitled
Mind Mines
.
I did that while taking a break during the testing of the Discotheque, and as it is a good deal smaller than the Discotheque, I've agreed with Freddy to release it first.
He is currently preparing it for release, but please keep in mind that he has 5 other finished mansions to prepare also, so please be patient.

But, to water your appetite, here's the story and a screenshot.

The Mansion Family: Mind Mines Story:
Jack is leaving  his modest house in the city to find luck in the hills.
He has heard about a charismatic guy who invites people to come live with him and his "family" in an underground labyrinth in the hills: the Mind Mines.

But Jack has also heard some "less friendly" stories about the man and the place:
some people in the city claim the place is long deserted, the family gone. A few voices even hint at darker things.....of creatures involved, of black magic and the family being not so nice at all...


Mind Mines is about 55 rooms or so, and does feature only very few real innovations, like Jack has to read a magic spell, and will then be able to walk several feet above the ground....but I like it very much and hope you will too.

Below you see a screenshot of part of the city.

I'm guessing that it's a totally transparent custom block. I never tried that myself, but it seems like it would be easy enough. Just make the whole PICT resource cyan.

Thanks for the compliments, Sam.
I'm gald you like it.

As for the magic spell:

What Psychotronic said is NOT the solution, although it maybe could have been made that way.
But: I guarantuee you: In The Mind Mines there is NOT one bit of custom graphics involved !!

That should be enough for a hint right now....let's see if you find out !
