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.

New Enemy (Read 7709 times)

Leon Adventurer Offline Posts: 353 Chichester, UK Gender:	New Enemy 09.07.2011 at 06:20:49 Hey, I just had a great idea for a new enemy I was thinking that there's a small grave with a tombstone placed in a room and after a delay/proximity/switch a zombie would crawl out of it. I was thinking it could be similar to the skeleton with the movement and settings. So what do you guys think? Leon

It would be tough to do, but I think a small blob would be a good new enemy. It would be different. It's moves:

It could climb walls, and sides of the room
It could climb upside down, underneath ledges
If it came to the edge of the room, it will turn around
It needs a layer 4 surface to walk on.

There might be two varieties: one that's wanders aimlessly, and one that slowly tracks Jack. Animating it might be tricky...
