Eavesdropping
27.03.2007 at 01:46:08

Remember how I said I was working on my first mansion, and that it was slow going? Well...I got faster, and it's done! Cool

I think it's pretty much a law of the universe that my first attempt at anything has to suck. So, rather than put a lot of time and effort into a real mansion, I figured I'd make a silly game that should still be fun. This has helped me learn how the editor works and the mechanics of level building without having to worry too much about the design of the rooms and mansion.

I think the product is pretty fun. It's called Eavesdropping, not because you're listening in on a private conversation, but because you literally must drop from the eaves of a very tall tower. On the way down are lots of prizes, if you're quick enough to retrieve them! Can you get a high score?

(Yes, this mansion is directly inspired by Wingy's Jack Fall.)

I had originally intended this for the free uploading forum, but I think I've built it up enough to merit a spot on the lists. So, that means I need a couple people to test it before I send it off to the admins. Any takers?

Thanks!

Heh. Jack fall was a free product. Let's just say, it wasn't affical, so you don't get in trouble for using it's ideas. It was just a mansion maybe to inspire you. I had the idea in my head for quite awhile, but never did it! So then I did it in my spare time. Tongue

Good thing I didn't do it for nothing! Didn't play it yet. I head I'll be in for a treat!
