The Four Tubes - aquaMat - 02-27-2008
Dear friends,
I seem to be in a flow at the moment.... and even though
The Voiddidn't seem to cause much
responseby the community I'm about to finish yet another new custom mansion.
Its working title is THE FOUR TUBES and on the included overview you can see why. I have the feeling it's one of my best, really..... and it's about the only mansion that I designed on a sheet of paper before I started building (at least the overall structure), whereas all my earlier mansions were created
on the spot....
In this manssion, that also features a few smaller custom design elements, Jack will have to travel through four tubes leading to different sections, and he is completely free to chose which tube he wants to start with, so exploration factor is high.
I will need at least one or two more weeks to finish it and have it tested properly..... but you can already have a glimpse at the picture below (which shows only the main section).

The Four Tubes looks really good! BTW, I liked The Void (or at least the parts I could get through. For me, this one was very hard
)

Thank you all for your kind words, especially the comments about The Void.
Maybe I got the wrong impression there..... if a mansion doesn't create much
post trafficit doesn't have to mean that noone is playing it.... maybe it just means that there's not too much wrong with it
.........or it was simply too hard ?? ;D
The Four Tubes won't be as hard BTW..... but it isn't necessarily easy either !

I think real life just gets in the way sometimes. People are too busy to post, probably.
Really looking forward to the Four Tubes, it looks excellent!

Thank you, thank you, evyrbody...!
Last night I finished the last room of The Four Tubes....but now I still will need a couple of days to put in all those nice exztra touches, like additional creatures, backgrounds, props, statues, paintings etc..
Also I will have to play and play and play again myself (as I always do before handing it over to the testers) to find any faults, weak spots or anything that could be improved.
The greatest thing about this mansion really is its non-linearity.... being free to chose which tube (=route) to start with each time you play results in the strange effect that the save pedestals have no fixed order (and change according to your route-choice).
And - paradoxically - even though there is this liberating non-linearity there is also a lot of symmetry in it..... which you will find out only later (so I should stop giving things away now).

Yeah, this mansion looks like very cool when I can see the map of them. That's a nice one! ;D
