How can I? The world might blow up tomarrow so why don't have everything out now? ;D
Re: Signs - Maniac - 03-11-2007
Because it takes a finite amount of time to do anything, including finish Midnight Mansion 1.0.8, and (shockingly, although you may not have realised it) blow up anything.

Can't Vern just put it out the way it is after a quick conpile and leave out the unfinished stuff? Who knows, there could be a astroid the size of Texas heading out way!

Oh Wingy, let the man work.........
He's probably having enough stuff to think about already, so don't burden him with the responsibility of a potential blast of the planet !!

Wingy,
You don't just do a
quick compile. There's more than compiling. Linking, optimizing, resource manipulation. Cool your jets! It'll get here. I'm sitting on three new mansions (~350 rooms), one of them the contest mansion. I'm not releasing anything until 1.08 comes out. This is the perfect opportunity to sit back and think how to make Ted better, or Castle Basano or whatever. Isn't there enough to play out there? If not build something of your own. Psychtronic said it correctly:
Patience grasshopper....

You're done with your contest mansion???
Re: Signs - joeb - 03-13-2007
Pretty much. Still haven't found a Jill I'm happy with but the dogs, monkeys, killer parrots, etc are done. I also don't know if I'm doing any custom music but it goes without saying the sounds will have to be different. Plus I'm still mapping graphics so that playing with standard graphics works. There'll be a Search for Jack and a Search for Jack - STD. STD won't have any custom graphics so it'll be playable as is. The other one will have the mansion file, sound file, new backgrounds, and maybe music. That setup will be wrapped in Decorum so it'll be MUCH easier to switch to it. STD you just play.
Once the contest is announced I'll start looking for the betas and it will be a VERY short list. Maybe 2 but I'm going to keep it as much under wraps as possible and will probably be limited to non-participants. What I will say is that HS was a prototype for the design of a couple of the areas and it WILL contain a maze with an alternate path that's pretty straightforward but in the hard to very hard level.
Overall the mansion will be medium to hard and it's at 80 rooms EXACTLY.

Oh and if Vern allows multiple entries I have another small (20-40 room) silly EASY mansion. It will use the same configuration as SFJ, one customized, one standard.
Other non-contest stuff; I've got a Dominator 2 on the boards and a sequel to TOTOMBS that I'm starting the structure of. Matts drawing up the rooms for both of them.
