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.

This could make it to the mansion list, but it needs a lot of fixing to do. By the way, I beat it in 11:08 with 28,650 and all secrets.

The number one thing to do when building a serious mansion is: Making sure there are no Jake-stucks (aka JS) and no cheap-deaths. (Thats kinda hard on Jack!)

There where some Jack-stucks here and there, but mostly in that jagged place at the end. You should jump around in those rooms with Jack and see if you can find a place that you can never get out of, unless you restart.

Also, cheap-deaths could put down the enjoyment of the game, because if you loose a life, you have to make sure the player thinks that it is their fault. Meaning: Don't put a lever in a room, which kills Jack. (e.g. 100 snakes falls on his head) Levers are meant for pulling.

You should give the player 10 seconds on a easy mansion to see the bad guy and react, and on normal mansions, 5 seconds, and hard, 2-3 seconds, and, well, super hard like... 1 second.

Also, don't put ledges RIGHT in the next room, give at least a space of... like 5 tiles.

Now this is just some advice, Omega, and YOU'RE building the mansion, not me. So, you don't have to do what I suggest.

Hi,

Very intriguing mansion.  I love the flying!  But I too want to know what you meant by boogers???    lol

But, Jack got stuck in Rm. 16902, he went up the bricks to check out for secret rooms and got stuck.  To bad to, I had a lot of lives. 

I think you did an amazing job using your creativity. Smiley
Great color schemes.

I look forward to playing a finished (tested ) version.

Missy, try The Mall, you'll like it a lot. It has launches which can be very challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot easier.
