Just bumping the thread Wink

I suspect a lot of people drop by without signing in (like I do) just to see if there's anything new.

Well, there is! After hitting a wall (and getting sidetracked by life) I'm back at work on a new mansion. Official announcement coming soon...

I Check In every few days, and as you say, don't always log on.

Great to hear there is a new mansion in the making, and very much looking forward to it ! Big Grin

Take care everyone,

I haven't logged in in a long time - I really miss MM. Even the member

fights

were fun. For a while it was one heck of an involved community.

Re: Hello? Anybody still here? - josephine - 08-04-2014

Hi guys! Yeah it was a fun community (funny, I don't even remember the fights ;D )

I have 2 full mansions in progress- MM1/HD and MM2. You know how you get to a point where it's not complete but you're not sure what to add? Like adding more rooms won't necessarily make it more fun or cohesive, just bigger? That's where the MM2 one is. So it's on the back burner

percolating

until the MM1/HD one is finished.

Which won't be long, 'cuz frankly I'm getting tired of looking at it lol

That's great, I'm here a few times a week (I do log on, automatically) just to see the last posts, especially if there's any news on the builder… Smile

Don't remember the fights either so I guess they weren't that bad.
Anyone around the Bay area in late september? Going to Berkeley for a week's work and could enjoy company over a coffee or dinner or something Smile

Oh man. So many great memories on the forums from way back. I remember when I first stumbled upon the MM forums after playing the game for the first time. I believe it was a different scene entirely, as in, the forum had an entirely different website, with cool custom MM buttons and such.

The years after the forums came out on ActionSoft's site, which I remember to be quite the day indeed, and the mansion building contest for MM2, and the various dramas and fights, etc. All the while new mansions came out with different artistic and creative feel, puzzles and fun. I can't say I've played all the mansions that were created by folks, but I did play the majority. I remember when I attempted to create an entirely-custom graphics mansion (Adventures of Ted?), but never had the time to put into it to finish it. I made maybe 30 minutes of playtime and aimed for like four hours. I wish I finished that. That would've been fun. Shame it'll never happen now as graphics are now in higher resolution. Anyway.

I joined this website in 2006. I don't think you guys realized how young I was. I was REALLY young. I was in grade 6. I was 13, there abouts. : Smile

I just turned 20, going into 3rd year university, and still have very fond memories of MM. I rarely have time to do much on the forums now, not as much as I like. I wish the community was vibrant as it once was, but due to the level editor (as mentioned before in Future of Actionsoft post) only working on older macs, there wasn't much to keep it going, other than the more committed and older members.

I booted up MM the other week and had great fun with all the memories. Such a good game.

Just wanted to share those thoughts.

Hi Anthony!
I do remember how young you were. Remember I gave you the app ColourIt? I still play MM several times a month. When I play bad I know its time for bed! ;D
Just now I am replaying PACI-FRAK EXPRESS! I am on Snow Leopard. I love the OS eventhoug I do a newer Os.

Re: Hello? Anybody still here? - Semi-Native - 08-06-2014

I really miss those good old days.

:'(

Re: Hello? Anybody still here? - cwncwn - 08-10-2014

My sentiments exactly:

I really miss those good old days.

BUT. I keep enjoying and replaying the existing games.

and OH YES, checking in with the forum for Good News.

Best wishes to all of you. Wink

The problem is that if we have upgraded beyond 10.6.8 we don't have a builder anymore. Let's look at the options:

1. Stay on 10.6.8, an outdated system and use the builders that came with MM1 and MM2

2. Upgrade the system and play MM with MM1 HD. Then we don't have a builder and cannot make new mansions. This is actually the only option for Windows users.

3. Make a 10.6.8 disk partition and reboot our computer everytime we want to play MM og build mansions.

4. Boot into 10.6.8 with a virtual machine (perhaps Windows users can do this?) to play MM2 or make mansions. This is a VERY slow option and I myself would never bother making a mansion this way. However I sometimes use it to play MM2.

So what we need is a HD builder to be able to make new mansions and restore our community.
