Well I am in secret chamber, room 20941.
Quick question: am I *supposed* to be able to make the next jump (to the right)?

Thanks much,

1. Before starting to play please read the ReadMeFirst - file carefully that comes with the download.
It contains a few things you need to know and a lttle background storyline.

2.  Feel free to go wherever you like.....the central section of The Complex is very non-linear. There is more than one route that leads to the exit...... even though some routes are quicker than others you can't say that there is a route that is
more correct
than another.

3. Due to this non-linearity it can happen that you have the impression that a save pedestal appears too soon or too late (which it wouldn't if you took another route), or that the opening of a certain door seems a bit pointless to you, which it wouldn't have had you taken another route etc.
Keep that in mind.
4. The maps are pretty essential.....after all this isn't called The Complex for nothing   Wink

5.  Remember my series
The Mansion Family
?  Then you also might remember the fact that Mansion Family 2 (which was designed back in 2006) has never been released. I abandoned that mansion....even though it contained some pretty exciting parts and a few innovations. (See elsewhere in this forum for the reasons).
However, for one of the innovations in The Mansion Family 2 I always regretted most that the project was abandoned. I called it the
Fata Morgana
effect.

I always wanted to include it in another mansion, or even finish TMF2 because of that alone..... and so finally I included it here.  
You will recognise it when you see it. In The Complex it is simply called a
strange phenomenon
...... and it's also a warning sign.
Keep that in mind, too.

So:   Have fun with and in The Complex !!

I like to announce that Rose and myself are currently beta-testing my latest creation. During design and testing it used to have the working title
Matt's Maze
, but I plan to release it very soon under the official name of

                                             THE COMPLEX

It is no
real maze
but it is in fact a huge complex of aisles, corridors, tubes and shafts where it is very easy to get lost in.
It also has my usual share of
secret passages
etc., but I consider it to be a little easier than my last few mansions.

What's great about it (I hope): after a pretty linear beginning (on icy mountains) Jack is headin' underground into The Complex, where the player can pretty much decide freely where he wants to go next.

There are
many roads leading to Rome
so to speak, and even the order of the save pedestals is not necessarily fixed.

At times it gets linear again (without really noticing it the player is softly
guided
towards a certain direction, after all) and of course especially near the end.
However, it should provide fun for repeated plays (as I always intend my mansions to do), 'cause there are several hidden things or rooms etc. which probably won't be discovered the first time through.

Another feature that make repeated plays interesting is the fact that every game will be a bit different, as noted above.

There will be more than enough save points and a bit more money as usual to avoid frustration.

Look forward....it won't be long anymore (at least not on my side)...we're currently testing version 0.9.x !
