Intel, Windows and iOS Ports?

Hey,

I was just wondering if anyone knows the progress of the ports at all, I miss being able to create new mansions

Cheers

Leon, you are posting your question to the Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills (MM2) category. Are you sure you wanted to ask about MM2? There is no Windows version nor a HD version of MM2. MM2 is a Mac only game and is still a PowerPC application. There is an MM2 mansion builder with the game so people can build new MM2 custom mansions.

I think I meant for any of the MM, but couldn't find an area for that lol

Sorry

I thought I read that Vern will get round to doing a Windows and iOS port of MM2 after MM1, or was that my imagination lol

I mainly mean the LEvel Builder though, I loved that

There is a level builder for MM1 and MM2 but not MM1 HD. I don't know when MM2 will be updated to a HD version but I'd guess that Vern would like to finish the MM1 HD builder first.

None of the LB work with Lion though as those use Rossetta or PPC and Lion has dropped all support for those

I wouldn't expect a new Builder until Vern finishes his iOS port, and I'm not sure how much Vern has much remains to be done. I have a pretty good idea of the amount of work left in the alternative builder I'm working on. I'm still a ways off.

The big thing that an MM2 upgrade is waiting on is new graphics. Many if not most will need to be redone. That's a good chunk of work.  Also, all the included mansions will need to go through some of the same work that was done for MM HD. They will need to be checked for bad behaviors under the new game engine, plus mansions may have to be scrubbed a bit for the shadows.

Fair enough, I was just seeing if anyone knew his progress as he hasn't posted anything since Feb lol

I have my faith in him, you and the rest of the team, I hope he asks for more beta volunteers lol

Has anyone actually spoken to Vern recently?

He and I talk sporadically dictated more by personal schedules. Basically, lengthy periods of nothing punctuated by short periods of time where we exchange a bunch of info. He's still working on the game, but he has other things on his plate as well. At the moment, it's not looking good for a new Level Builder, but I wouldn't give up on it quite yet.

Oh deer, well give him my best next time you speak to him and tell him not to rush, I'm in no hurry ^_^
