That's mighty fine gradient work of yours... let me guess... you used one of the Following:

Adobe PhotoShop CS
Flash MX CS
Adobe Illustrator CS
Painter X
Or you used some-unproffession painting program? I usually use Color It! Tongue

Nice backgrounds. Might use them, sometimes.

But the thing we really need... is new Characters! Artists, get your brushes!

I've done my Ted charater, (Look at my Avatar) Tongue

and Joeb has done his nice JAC and in that StarCraft thing I made I used a effect in Photoshop to put a force-feild around Jack so he could survive in space. If only we had some crazy-good artist who could make us some more charaters...

*Idea* Or... we could all bribe Jacob (the artist of MM) to make us some more charaters! Tongue

Hmm... I see you dragged the icon from the custom mansions into some of the backgrounds. I see you wanted people to use this in the opening part or intro of the mansion, and you're looking at the mansion in the distance. If I where you, I'd go around the edges of the mansion icon and get rid of the white transparent stuff before you added it to the picture. It would look abit nicer. But it's fine anyways.

Notice: If I remember correctly, the backgrounds will tile if it's too small! A standard background should be at least 640x432. That's the size of the built-in backgrounds.

I tried that application you used. It's nice! It's a perfect coloring program. If you want to do more complex backgrounds like Joeb's dominator with that nice-3d stuff on the moon, you should get the nice, (now free) Bryce 5. There's a tread with the address to where you download it somewhere in the Art area.

I usually use gradients that have colors from a darker blue to a light blue for my backgrounds. I use Color It! 3.0 for that.

P.S. Love that half water/half sky effect. Wink

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.
