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 will take a lot of time but I don't care. For a long time I really wanted to change a lot of things in this mansion. I do it for myself and my relatives, but one never knows that there are members who like to stop their wintersleep to play this mansion somewhere in future.

Nowadays it seems that custom mansions need to be fixed with the MM2 builder after having the mansion converted from MM1 not HD to MM2.
Therefor the remastered version of MM&M will only be playable in MM2 although the new MM2 features like ghosts will not be used. Probably unless the interesting lantern version 2.0 .
Cool

The included image gives an idea of the new starting room where a minute ago Jack Malone arrived in the mansion through the entrance gate.

Thanks for your interest. Probably a Christmas gift ... in 2027.

Most important interventions so far:
1 I did remove the previous 237 (kind of fake) shields and added some real ones;
2 I created* a single dark room with an included lantern for that room only (see pic), so that the player may check if there is more to do in the well-lit room;
3 I am reducing the amount of money (seriously) in the very easy rooms.
Tongue

* Edited. I need to correct myself. I didn't 'create' a dark room, just turned the light out in an existing room. And added a lantern, some electric beams, ...
