Good, Bad, and everything in between

I decided not to import any of my old stuff, and start fresh. So, when I went to create a new profile, the game hung momentarily then crashed. I'll send the crash info via email and go through as many other screens as I can.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> Vern fixed this in Beta2.<br />
<strong>Update2:</strong> Regression tested for Beta3 (passed)

Here is the link to beta 1:<br />

<br />
Currently this is <blockquote>Episode 1</blockquote> only. I will upload Episode 2 once Episode 1 has been tested a little bit. Episode 1 will sell on the Mac App Store for $4.99, while Episode 2 will likely sell for around $7.99 to $9.99. When you have both episodes, you'll have the <blockquote>complete game</blockquote>. I split it up to make the barrier to purchase a bit lower ($4.99 versus $20). Once you purchase both episodes, both copies will be upgraded to run all the mansions, so it'll be just as convenient as before.<br />
<br />
This is the version exactly as a Mac App Store customer would receive it upon purchasing, except that <blockquote>Game Data</blockquote> will be inside the app.<br />
<br />
There are a few things I need to tidy up still, but for the most part consider this finished.<br />
<br />
The main things:<br />
<br />
- In Hint House, you'll see a floating question mark where each tip is. Right now, tips are invisible.<br />
<br />
- Tomb of Princes Easy is missing. I have to finish this. For now, don't try to play it.<br />
<br />
Other than that, please try anything and everything you can to break the game. Do note that this is not about testing *mansions* as much as it is about testing the *game engine*. This is an entirely new engine, Universal Binary, Open-GL accelerated, and there can be lots of problems. I've fixed a lot already, but there could be more that I don't know about.<br />
<br />
For instance, Command-F toggles fullscreen/windowed. Try toggling this at random times, like when you're reading a sign, or on the map screen, etc. Try pausing on the map screen (this is currently a bug actually). That sort of thing. This isn't about testing mansions so much, but more trying to break the game engine. But, do report mansion problems if you run across any. Rob has already done an excellent job upgrading them.<br />
<br />
If you complete any mansions, please send me your movie files. (They are in Home/Library/Application Support/ActionSoft/Midnight Mansion/User Movies/) I will use these to take realistic screenshots of the game. ZIP the movie files before sending them or it won't work.<br />
<br />
Please use email to contact me, not PM, if you need to contact me off the forums for some reason:<br />

Post all comments here in this thread for now. Any and all feedback is welcome! General first impressions are always fun to hear. :-) I think you guys will really like the improvements.<br />

If you'd like to be a beta tester for Midnight Mansion 1 HD, please post here. You'll need MacOS X 10.4 or higher.

So - I finally got around to playing this mansion - really good, BUT I got all the way to the down under part and need a green key to continue - have used the map to look all around and, well, NO GREEN KEY to find anywhere.<br />

HELP!

Youtube is having a glitch and <blockquote>Add Comment</blockquote> button is missing in channels so I had to keep making one before posting. It is annoying.

I like to do Midnight Mansion. I like to build levels. I like to get coins. I might post videos of midnight mansion on my youtube channel so if you have a youtube account, subscribe to my channel.<br />

I do have a full version. I can post some previews on youtube while working on some levels. I also like other things like swimming, sports, fans, and games.

After having to remove some posts and warning a member about posting links to what may be considered spam, this is just a friendly reminder only to post legitimate links and comments, even in Speakers Corner.<br />

Thank you.<br />
