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.

Lunar Temple was never released because it was full of Jack Stucks, cheap deaths, etc.  Freddy and I, the admins at that time, tried to contact you to ask you to have the mansion tested, but you never answered.  Hence the mansion was never released.

As long as it's not as hard mansion I'll volunteer for beta-testing when you're ready.

Zero, what Freddy and I saw of Lunar Temple was very promising, indeed.  Would you like to:

1. Convert it to an MM2 mansion (and perhaps add some of the new features) and have it tested

2. Have it tested as an MM1 mansion

3. Or do you want to discard it altogether (which would be a shame IMO)

I'll also help beta-test Lunar Temple if you'd like.

I'm working on three mansions for MM2. One will be the X-Hard version of Dr. Demented's Den. It was originally the Hard version, before I made it easier. That will probably be the first one out since it was rather exhaustively tested before I took a machete to it.

The second one is 100% new (entirely my own creation), and the third one if I'm able to pull it off will be a spin-off of DDD Hard (but probably at Normal level). I'm going to try and replace Jack with the "helpful goblin" and perhaps add some other static goblin "character/sprites". I expect that it's going to seriously tax the limits of any artistic skill I have. Hopefully, it won't be too bad since the helpful goblin already has the animation necessary to climb ladders and pull levers.

I'd like to have a few mansions set in a large goblin kingdom (with lots of goblin puzzles) of various levels that reuse some of the graphics from the third one since I expect it will be a big effort.

Zero, if you want to have it tested and uploaded as an approved custom mansion, you must advertise for some testers and then send the mansion to them, instead of posting it here.
