The Mansion Fam.3: A Wondrous Place
#1
Dear friends,

I'd like to announce that my new mansion THE MANSION FAMILY: A Wondrous Place  is to be released soon.
It is now finished and will be thoroughly tested in this week.

It does feature a few smaller innovations, but also a couple of nods of reference to innovatiuons of other forum-members that have impressed me, like the
Toybox-trick
(recently re-activated by brell) etc.

It's a bit harder than TMF 1 (Mind Mines) but I tried to avoid frustration by adding enough save points. There will be 6 save pedestals, and the size is about 75 rooms.

Hope I have wet your appetite.....    Look forward to release !   Wink   Big Grin

In another post a couple of weeks ago I had mentioned what's the reason for this:
The Mansion Family 2: Northern Lights, which I had started already back in spring 2007 and which featured among snowy landscapes also a new
magic spell
trick, was not completed (as of now).

I was not entirely satisfied with the snow and ice parts (which are not easy to do) and besides Joe B has done a very good snow job in his Ghosthunter mansion, so I abandoned the TMF 2 project for the time being. I will definitely complete it one fine day, but I guess that has to wait until the Exp.Pack is out, so I can use those features.

It's shame thpugh, as I'd have loved to bring you that new magic spell......  I'm waiting for almost 8 months now to introduce that. Unfortunately I couldn't include it in TMF 3, as thematically it wouldn't have made sense there.

If all else fails, I might build a small new mansion around it sometime.

Hi aquaMat !

Sounds like a fantastic mansion, I can't wait for it to be released, since I really enjoyed all your other CM's.   Smile

TMF 2 also sounds very exciting, with snow and all, I think it's great that you are being patient to release it until you have the graphics you really want.  (Hard to do, though I imagine!)  I am going to play TMF;MM again (now for the third time) in preparation for your new one, even though the between mansion is still on hold.  

I'm looking forward to seeing the innovations, and playing a hard mansion. Big Grin

thanks so much,

Thanks for the nice words, SandyBean !

I'm waiting for your mansion, too...!

BTW, of course I will wait with my release until your mansion has been released first.
It's always better if there are not several mansions being released at the same time.....

I am very much looking forward to both of your mansions. Jack has been exploring lots of old places lately, and is looking for new real estate.

Thank You,  aquaMat,  that is very Gentlemanly of you ! Smile

We are just working on some loose ends now, and are still on schedule for Nov. 1st release, so you should not have to wait too long.  Big Grin

Take care,
