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.

Escape from Paris
13.02.2010 at 22:26:06
 
Hi Everybody!

Just wanted to let you know that I resumed work on "Escape from Paris", the third and last part of the Jacques Moilone-Trilogy. It is going to be epic, like the two first installments, so it wont be done any time soon. I am HOPING for a release in September/October. That sounds like an awfully long time, but I can only put together the mansion bit by bit (what with studying always getting in the way) and don't forget that it has to be beta-tested as well.

To give you some proof that I am really working, here's a screenshot:

Leo! You can not do this to us!! You can't post this great new mansion in a making and then tell us that it will be ready to play in October! You are one mean designer Tongue !!
Can't wait for it to be ready.... I love the first two parts so I have no doubt that the third ( final ) part will be the best. Wink

Sorry Veronica!
I will at least try and keep my promise to get it ready by October.
I don't know if this is going to be the best mansion of the Trilogy. Personally I was much happier with "Jacques' Revenge" than with "Palais Pompomrouge" but I don't know if I will be able to top that.
Anyways: Thanks for eagerly anticipating the release!  Grin

Wow.....  that looks really, really cool !!
But it also looks as if you're already pretty far advanced with the design.... I can't begin to imagine how it will look when you really take time until October to continue with its design !!   Wink

Probably it'll be the biggest mansion ever, then.....
I'm holding my breath & waiting to play.... already now !!

Thanks aquaMat!

"Escape from Paris" might not become the biggest mansion ever but it certainly will be huge.

BTW: I lost track of all the custom-projects going on right now. Are you planning anything new? I am always looking forward to your next mansion!  Grin

Actually, I must admit that I have my latest one (Brother From Another Planet - as discussed earlier) ready (or as good as ready) for more than 2 months now.
It's only a few very minor details that still need to be improved, plus the whole thing must be beta-tested.

The reasons for that delay were:  first, I took some time with correcting / improving the details and - more importantly -  second, I am ill since New Years Eve..... I've got a pretty severe back problem and I can hardly move.
That's also the reason why I'm not as active as usial on the forums lately Sad.

Oh, I am sorry to hear about your back problem!
I really hope that you will get better soon!

And, yes: I completely forgot about "Brother from another planet"! Totally aching for that one!

But: Your health is more important than any custom mansion, so take it easy and take care!
