Need some advice for beginner designer (Read 4987 times)

SoItBegins Wanderer Offline Posts: 63 Gender:	Need some advice for beginner designer 01.08.2011 at 18:51:02 Hi, I just got into playing Midnight Mansion (HD– I'm in the beta), and I've started dreaming about making a mansion of my own. I was wondering if anyone had any advice about mansion design for someone who is completely new at it. Thanks~

Hi. You should start by reading the Level Builder Documents in the Level Builder Docs folder that came with your MM application. That is pretty much where everybody starts.

When you have built a few rooms you should ask us to test it for you. It is much better to give you advices having a mansion to test. That is how I began and I learned a lot from my first beta tester.

I'd like to do a YouTube video "Getting Started" tutorial to show just how easy it is to get started, plus a second video with time-saving tips and tricks. However, it wouldn't make sense to do this video for the old level builder and then have to redo it for the HD one once that's done. So alas the YouTube tutorial will have to wait. But once you know what you're doing, it's ridiculously easy to edit most things. Tip: use the eyedropper tool to draw bricks or erase tiles very very quickly, and use copy and paste to draw things like ladders, vines, and background tile patterns (like windows, jail cells, etc).

Can't wait
