Discotheque of Doom -Release Notes-

I don't have a room number (unless I open in the editor...), and unfortunately the room in question is rather nondescript. I think it may have had a green door in it, and it definitely had around four eyeballs. The room before it had a bunch of platforms oscillating up and down before the entrance. The game actually crashed with jack in midair (I jumped through the boundary).

Console just reports the crash, and that a crashlog was written. I got no error message.

Sorry.... I had never a crash in DoD, and since you can't tell me the room number I can't figure out what the potential reason might be.
But I tend to think it was a singular incident, otherwise we would have witnessed that one before (during the 3 months of testing DoD !)

I'll have more to say (and an adequate response) when I've had time to play the whole thing, and with another round of midterms this weekend that isn't looking likely for a while (unless I hit a mental brick wall with studying and have to take a break...;D)

I'm mostly just writing to agree that the crash was probably an isolated incident, but I like to report such things just in case something can be made of it.

P.S.

Midterms

is a misnomer at my university...they roll around every 2-3 weeks, for a total of 5 midterms per class per term.

Great job, aquaMat, as usual. So many different places to explore, the replay value will be high.

I found a Jack stuck, though, in 21712, in the top left corner. Jack thought there would be a treasure up there to find, or another secret room, so he kept jumping up and up and up. Now, the poor guy is stuck, nowhere to go.
:'(

Semi-Native,

where exactly are you in the top-left corner of 21712 ?

If you are standing on the dark brown bricks there is a way back out (back onto the

elevator platforms

). Or did you go even higher from there ?!?  If so.... there is a way out from there too (even if of course you're not

meant

to go there.... ) unless you are so high that only you're feet are visible.... from there it migjht not be possible to return back down !!

I had tested it specifically with adventurous players in mind.... whether someone daring to jump up there might get stuck...
and... if you keep going down facing the left side it is possible to get back...it's a bit like stairs, even if it doesn't lokk like it....

BUT I simply forgot to test it from the uppermost little caveat, simply because I thought nobody would really go that far up.....(to hide a secret door up there is even

too sick

for me.... )

I can't do an UD specifically for this... but I will stuff the uppermost hole in the next UD.

BUT: congratulations that you've already come this far in DoD !! That's quite an achievment...!

I want to give this mansion another shot or two before I give you a whole lot of comments. I got pretty solidly slaughtered a little ways past the second save point. But I will say this: the music is fantastic. It really suits the mood of the mansion very well. In a way, it justifies some of the visual choices, because the abstractness of the room design makes sense with the understated rhythm of the music. In a way that I can't quite explain, it seems. But good job there.

EDIT: Found a Jack-Stuck in 21306. I got up there without a yellow key, and there doesn't seem to be any way back down. Unless there's some flippin' false floor or something I'm not noticing.

[Mikee]

yes, I found also this Jack-stuck. Would be glad if it it would recover!

Yes, I was all the way up, in the topmost opening above where the key was. You should know that if there's a way to get Jack stuck, some player will find it. 8-)

Anyway, I started over from the last save point. I'm loving this mansion. And I like the music, too.

[Mikee]

lol the music... I have anyway the own. Christina Augilera and so...

[samskelton]

The music is pretty sweet... Do you have a guitarist in that? I diddn't hear one...

[Mikee]

In which of the songs do you mean now whether it a guitarist thereby have?
