Nearing completion: BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET

[aquaMat]

Back to topic:

Dear friends.... you might remember that I mentioned that

Brother From Another Planet

was almost finished already a few weeks ago.
Well, indeed it is finished (at least the design process) since mid-December or so.... but - I decided to let it

rest

for 2 weeks until my Xmas holiday, 'cause I felt I needed to look at it from another perspective. I was too close.

And indeed - when I played & tested it on my Mum's TFT-equipped iMac (which always helps me w/ the dark colors, as you might remember) I was shocked how hard it is in certain spots.  Having not played it through for at least 3 weeks let me come at it almost

fresh

......well - not quite, but at least all the perfect finger movements for jumps and other timed stuff had gone from my memory (a bit), so I wasn't playing as good. I admit - in certain rooms I was shocked to see

that's how it must feel for any other player, someone who has not designed that himself. That's insane.

.

So I decided to make a few things a bit easier again, wherever that is possible... others I will leave as they are.
It still will be a mansion with a considerable amount of

extra hard rooms

.... but as usual I tried to counterbalance that w/ enough money and more than enough saves.

I know how good it would be..... but I simply do not have the time and energy to build an additional EASY or NORMAL version...  and I don't even think it would be possible. Sorry for that.  I know there'll be players out there who will find it

too hard

or even (I hate that word in this context)

unfair

..... but I really don't include those kind of hard spots to frustrate anyone.... just to make it interesting.

However, in this case I really decided to change a few things back to a little easier - I got carried away....  8-)

So - please give me another few weeks until release.

Thanks,
