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.

And, it's selling well, which means:

A) I will be able to port it to iPhone, Windows, and make a Universal Binary for Mac.

B) I will presumably then be able to make a Midnight Mansion 3-- which will be a MUCH bigger upgrade to the game than Midnight Mansion 2 is. All graphics brand-new in high-res for one thing. And way way more additions than MM 2.

So to everyone who has purchased Midnight Mansion 2 - Thank You! This will enable further development of the series!

No, Vern, thank you! Cheesy
I've already gotten my 25 dollarsworth and I've only been playing it for a day. I'm glad you're doing well with it, you've created a wonderful game! I really do think it's a major improvement of the old game; It's just so new and better-looking. I'd definitely try to get in touch with some of the major game sites, as well... Maybe like Gamespot or IGN? I dunno. I've never produced a game, so I can't give much advice.. But it's good to hear it's selling well. I mean, who can't pass this up for only $25? It's really a perfect price.

Yeah, I've already tried emailing press released to sites like IGN. I think it's fairly rare that they cover shareware game news, and rarer still that they cover Mac-only game releases.

Which is why I'm hoping, once the game is ported to iPhone and Windows, that these sites will cover it!

Heh, we're gonna hold you to that Smiley

More seriously... a Windows port certainly ought to help make that possible!

Hello,
Vern mentioned that he had submitted his game to IGN and didn't expect much of a response. However I submitted MM2 to JayIsGames at http://jayisgames.com/ which is a site that very much *does* cater towards smaller indie games.

I hope they publish a review of this terrific game!

I already beat you to it. Submitted to JayIsGames a few days ago. Haven't heard back from them yet. Yeah, hopefully they publish something about it. But it's possible they're not interested if it doesn't have a Windows version. That's the case with so many gaming sites.

Well, Vern, I hope somewhere sees it. I'd put this right up there with Plants Vs. Zombies, computer games-wise. (I think PvZ is one of the best, this being either tied or right in front of it.)

I also sent something to IGN about it... It probably won't do anything, but I might as well try.

How many people have bought the game so far, if you don't mind me asking?
