Luris too difficult? - otg - 04-27-2009
Perhaps it is... but it's supposed to be hard...
As I wrote among the first posts, this is a mansion perhaps best played for a very long time. That is, you try to get to the next save, and when you've done so, you forget about Luris for a while. Otherwise it can get very frustrating...
Anyway... I've been listening to all the comments and it seems to me that the mansion isn't impossible [since some have finished the mansion]
but that there is a risk of losing interest. I have therefore made the Luris Edu [as in educational version
] which I soon will send to the admins. In this version, the rooms are the same, but there are lots of moneybags/backpacks and a save every I don't know really, two or three rooms or so...This version can be played first, to get a feeling for the mansion, or parallel with the original version [to
practicewithout risk of dying that easily]. Or not at all, of course, since it's actually
the samemansion
I hope this will get some players to reconsider their choice of leaving Luris unfinished.
Best wishes

It does has very difficult parts. I think I have asked for also normal or easy versions of the mansions as a lot of us aren't to skilled playing. I have improved my skills over the years (something like 4 years now) but I prefer more normal versions.
In Luris I do like the
lurigathings but some jumps are just to difficult, especially when you have be very fast in your fingers.
I look forward to an edu version. But I am not giving up on Luris.

I like the idea of an easier version. Maybe we should change the definition of the original version from
hardto
very hard?
Re: Luris too difficult? - hawaii - 04-27-2009
Yes Brell, Very Hard would be a better description. [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif]
And YES Olle, that is a great idea. At least we can play without the frustration of a pending heart attack. lololol and get to see the end of the game with a Triumph! with out having to cheat! lololol [smiley=beer.gif]

The easier version will not be
easy, it will just be
not close to game over[to use one of Freddy's definitions] since there will be a lot of save pedestals and quite some money but no change in the rooms themselves. It will be released before the weekend, just have to check if it gets
easyenough, and that the save pedestals don't mess up the rooms...

I think it would be a bonus to have an 'edu' version, but I have to say something here that we all seem to have forgotten.
When a designer builds a mansion, it is his/her own personal creation, and a gift to all MM players.
If it is not constructed for a contest or to be included in the paid game mansions, the designer has what is called 'creative license' to realize his vision into a working, playable, and hopefully enjoyable place for Jack.
If you are not enjoying the mansion, there are over a hundred others to choose from.
I do not feel it is the designers responsibility to create a mansion that pleases all people at all times.
For those less experienced players, stick to the easy/med mansions, but don't try and make a designer conform to your level of skill.
These are just my thoughts, and not intended to offend anyone.
Thanks,

Very well put, SandyBean. My opinion exactly.
Ollie: Of course the
easierversion will not be an
easyversion

Agreed. This mansion is so stinking hard I quit! But it's Olle's mansion, and he is free to make it so.
And maybe someday I'll become skilled enough to get through it :-?
Re: Luris too difficult? - hawaii - 04-30-2009
OMG.....Will everyone CHILLLLLLAX. [smiley=beer.gif]
First you ALL complain that it is to hard and or don't want to play it. Literally want to throw in the towel!
Never getting to see this AMAZING, UNBELIEVABLE CREATIVITY......and that's suppose to be ok?
Then when THE CREATOR HIMSELF (in HIS infinite wisdom) decides to release a slightly easier version, so that more devoted MM'er can get to play & see his and her MASTERPIECE......suddenly, everyone is up in arms defending creator rights. What's that all about?????
OMG, in the real world,
If the wheel is broken.....Fix it!PERIOD! [smiley=cool.gif]
Re: Luris too difficult? - josephine - 04-30-2009
Who said Olle can't/shouldn't make an
easierversion? If he wants more people to be able to play his mansion, great. If he wants to keep it only for the expert players, that's great too.
These
creator's rightsposts bring up a valid point. Personally, I'm not skilled enough to play Luris, but I certainly DO appreciate Olle's efforts.
Besides, the experts probably get bored playing easy mansions. Luris is perfect for them
