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.

It's still a long way from being completed, but I just wanted to start a thread for it! I'm hoping for it to be a pretty large mansion- So far it probably has somewhere around 30 rooms. So between the size and the amount of free time I've got, it's going to be a while... But while you're waiting, here's a couple snapshots of it!

Cool! I like how you put the snow at the bottom of the waterfall, to make it look like bubbles. Nice. Tongue

It's really shaping up to be a pretty cool mansion! You'll find a lot of unique puzzles in it. Here's an example: There's a bunch of moving platforms with snakes on them in this room, and the only way you can get across is by using the shields. There's only five of them, though, so you need to figure out how to get across using only five of the platforms. Hope that makes some sense! Anyway, here's a screenshot.

Thanks for the positive feedback, guys! Currently, the mansion has 77 rooms. It's still not too close to being finished, but it's certainly starting to come together. Here's another shot to tide everyone over... It looks like I'm only one of two people making a mansion in MM2 as of right now. :S

Also, keep in mind that these pictures are works in progress... I may change rooms as time goes on. For example, I think it's possible I may change the brick in this room to make the mansion look a little better.

Looking forward to it. I love puzzles even when they frustrate me.  Grin

And I'm also working on a small MM2 mansion.  Wink I'm wanting to do a lot of design changes since converting it from MM1.
