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).
