Welcome! Read Me First

If you can read this, is because you've been selected as a beta tester for Midnight Mansion 2. Please read this entire message carefully.

First, notice there are several topics I've started. One is

General Discussion

. This is where you can post general feedback about the game, bug reports, etc. There is also

First Impressions

where you can just post what you think after you first try the game.

Also notice there is a topic for each mansion that comes with the game (including two in the Custom Mansions folder). As you play through the mansions, post comments about the specific mansions you play in the appropriate topic. This will help mansions designers be able to find comments about their mansion easily.

Please do NOT combine mansion-related messages with game-related messages. So if you find a bug that is in the game (not specific to some mansion) post it in the General area, separate from your comments about a mansion.

Feel free to just play whatever you want at first, but then choose a mansion you're going to finish, and announce which one you'll be playing in the

Mansions being tested

topic. Look here first to see what mansions others are playing, and try to pick ones not being played as much. The goals is to make sure every mansion gets tested.

Please note that the game itself is not finished, in terms of what you see before you start a mansion. There will be a new Difficulty screen, a new story, a new beat-the-game screen, new About and

Buy me!

screens, new online scores for the sequel, new game icons, etc. So please don't comment on any of this.

However, what IS finished is the gameplay. While you are playing a mansion, any problems you find here should definitely be reported.

However, I'm also very interested in the answer to this question:

Is the difficulty of every room in thismansion appropriate for the difficulty setting you're playing at?

If you're playing Easy, are some rooms too Hard? If you're playing Hard, are some rooms too easy? For Normal, is it balanced? Are the save pointed frequent enough?

Not all mansions can be played on Easy or Hard modes. All of them can be played on Normal though. And you can play the following:

Easy:
Blackheart Keep
Castle Basano
Citadel of Dr Cassiopus
Leofani Manor

Hard:
Castle Basano
Citadel of Dr Cassiopus
Leofani Manor

The rest will have easy/hard versions posted when they are ready.

Also note that two additional mansions are available for testing inthe Custom Mansions folder. Use the Open Mansion button to test these. However, the priority is to test the other, built-in mansions first.
