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 also got a JS in Rm. 20310 by coming up from in front of the purple door. Thought I'd grab the shield before departing to the left. Rather interesting that DLC was on Save #5 and I only have one save at this point.

Note: (This is my second reply..... just when I finished my first, very eloquent one, my Mac crashed and the reply was gone. I now try to paraphrase myself.... but I'm sure it is not as perfect as my first reply !)

Yes,
I vaguely remember having thought about this back then (during the design of DoD).

The main reason for this is the old MM game bug that allows Jack to jump over certain smaller closed doors.

To be more precise, this unlikely JS only occurs if a player

a) jumps "on top" of the closed purple door..... and then...
b) jumps further up from there, to the spot where you got stuck..... and
c) does all this BEFORE he grabs the purple key (otherwise the purple door would immediately open if one tries to jump "over" it).

There's really not much I could do against that game bug (except completely altering the room design).
As I'm otherwise very proud of this unusual room I decided to keep it and leave it as it is.

So it really doesn't happen often - after DoD's 2 or more years of existence you're the first one ever to report this JS.... so I'd rather keep the room and advise people to play "according to the rules" which in this case means: not jump over closed doors !! Cool

BTW: there's no need to remind me of the "rules" for JS's now.... I'm fully aware of them, but I simply feel in cases like this we have to give the room design priority over a potential but improbable JS.

Maybe - as a compromise or a concession, so to speak - I could erase this shield and maybe this will result in even less people trying to "get up there".... ??!?
