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.

DAEDALUS coming soon
20.09.2008 at 19:36:06
 
Hello everybody,

After THE WARRIOR, JOURNEY TO SARKOZYLAND & CRANES, I put a last touch 2 days ago at DAEDALUS ,my last release, ßtested by AquaMat and Rose, thanks to them. Now DAEDALUS is between Freddy's hands, and I am waiting for news. It is a 79 rooms mansion, level hard I think.
I spent such a long time on designing and improving mechanisms, so I hope you'll all have fun with it.
SURCOUF.

PS: Could anybody explain how to make a video (recording & reading)? Thx.

It looks sooooo COOL, how did you get the birds to go that way?

Can't wait for the release.

What do you mean by "my last release"?

Are you leaving us?

If you're asking how to make a movie while playing -- To record, hit command space at the opening screen, go to "Midnight Mansion" next to the apple at the top left. Select Preferences, then select options and click "Record movies of every game."

Thank you, Catwoman.
But as I think, it is not possible to record from a specific point to an other, in the middle of the game? Or is it?..

Yes there is. Look at the MM documentation. I remember it saying there was a way to start and stop recording while playing, but I've not done that.

MM DOCUMENT QUOTE:  "In addition to recording movies of an entire game, you can also record short movies by turning off automatic recording of movies in Options, playing a game, then pushing Command-R just *before* you enter a new room. Recording will start as soon as you enter the new room. Push Command-R again (or Command-A to end the game) when you want the movie to end. If you didn't end the game, you may push Command-R again to record another movie if you wish, but just remember that recording won't start until you enter a new room."

Thank you Catwoman, now I learned something new. Wish I knew that when I was beta testing for you.  Now I know, Thank you again.

p.s. I just did it and it works.......yippppeeee!
