"Les Catacombes Rouges" delayed.....
20.01.2009 at 20:32:45

Dear friends,

my latest mansion, named "Les Catacombes Rouges" (I felt a bit francophile lately), is growing and growing. It has already become several "storeys" deeper down than orginally anticipated.....and is having already 127 rooms or so.

Therefore you'll understand, I hope, that its release will be delayed. (Also I'm having a hard time with a complicated remix at the moment....so I can't build as often as I'd love to. Usually I find at least 1 or 2 hours for MM-design late at night, though.)

So....don't lose faith.... LCR will come, eventually, and as soon as I can, I might make an overview screenshot to post here.... Cool

Once more I had a complete breakdown of my Internet connection, due to some problem at my provider's technical center (Deutsche Telekom).... so I have been unable to go online for about 6 days or so.

On the other hand, that gave me a bit more time to work on LCR.....and I can now report that I'm getting close to the final room.

I had to decide if I wanted to go down yet another storey, another row of rooms, or if I let it end on this level.....and I decided for the latter approach.

It has still a lot of unsolved issues, like surplus keys etc., and I'll have to re-check many rooms.....BUT: we're getting there !! Cool

Dear friends,

below I show you a teaser for Les Catacombes Rouges, which is now being refined and then beta-tested.

On the overview screenshot you can see about 2/3 of the whole system, I didn't want to give away too much, too soon....... Cool

As an added "bonbon" I show you one room in detail. In this screenshot you can see (in the upper middle of the image), what I call a "Docking Station" (that little "scooter-like" stone & wood - construction, with the green color brick in the middle).

In the central area of LCR, several of these "docking stations" appear, usually color-coded.
They are always worth visiting..... Keep that in mind for later..... Wink
