I've only got one request: Architecture board before Holds board.

Actually this topic would be better off on the "Architecture" board too. Jeremy, if you don't see your topic anymore, I didn't delete your topic--it just moved.

Hmm. But then if I move it, he won't see this message, and will think I deleted his topic.

Aw screw it. I'm feeling cavalier.

Heh heh. You sound like another guy here named Jeff Ray. Jeff is a good guy, but he'd start twenty projects and finish maybe one. Well, he got a little better after a while.

You might just pick the hold project that you think will be most fun to complete, and work on that. It's rare for someone to start multiple hold projects simultaneously and get much done. Maybe Larry Murk can pull that off, but he's had a lot of experience. And I don't think anyone thinks you are taking a long time. From our point of view, you just barely arrived! ;)

Of your three ideas, I like "Chase" the best because it suggests a type of puzzle that could be used in the hold. The other two ideas could be good too, but they don't tell me much about what the hold might be like to play.

Where'd he go, anyway? I kinda miss the little guy.

'I'll make a 60-level hold someday,' he'd say.

Ok, thanks guys! I really have been working on holds for a while, but I just registered. I think I have game making experience because I make puzzle and maze games on paper to plan out what I'm gonna do for DROD. I've already started on Infinite and the next project is Infinite II.

Most people are going to want to keep their own ideas for their own holds. Typically people asking for ideas here do not get their wishes fulfilled. There are some exceptions, but if you are having trouble, you should just focus on one hold at a time instead of trying to do a lot at once.

Game on,

Okay, I am going to upload a hold to this thread and see what you guys think about it. Umm, how do you upload a hold? I cant seem to find the .HOLD file for my hold. The hold name is Infinite and it is 40% done.

You have to Export the hold from the Manage screen in the editor, or the Change Location screen. Then just attach it to a post in the forum like any other file.

Ok, thanx a lot. Um, here I go!

Presenting to you, the honorable players of DROD...
I, UrAvgAzn give to you,

Infinite The Hold! Caution, this hold is only 40% done.

Have fun and always post comments, even if they are kind of rude.

Most of the rooms are cool. And there's at least one or two rooms in every level that I don't like, but overall it's quite good. :)

More later. (perhaps, I'm too tired right now)

In general: Where are all the checkpoints? As a whole it is a quite fun, quite easy hold. The rooms I haven’t written anything about was ok, not really funny and not really boring. Below are my impressions of some specific rooms.

Level 1:

1N: Trivial if you enter from the top

2N: Just boring. Nothing difficult, only timeconsuming.

3N1E: Neat room!

1N1E: you are overdoing it. Too many snakes!

3N: very easy.

3N1W Also a bit neat.

2N1W: Time consuming, unchallenging, which is a bad thing.

Level 2:

1N: Neat!

2N: Your best room so far.

3N1E: Very easy room.

3N1W: A little fun

Level 3:

1N1W: Fun because of the trick with the golems and the goblins (to place a golem as an extra wall). A bit too many monsters.

2N1W: A bit neat.

3N1W: I’m not doing this room without checkpoints. It would be tedious with them.

3N: Fun!

1N1E Tedious!

Level 4:

1N: Fun!

2N: How do you kill the brain without getting stuck? Anyway, this is exactly the kind of room I don’t like.

3N: Is that a Hittler cross? Some people might find that offensive.

3N1W: Reminds me very much of another room in the hold. It’s almost the same room.

1N1E: A bit neat.

I tried several times and have been unable to beat L2 3N - I just can't kill the mothers fast enough to prevent the mud from growing too much.

I beat Level 1 and the others rooms of Level 2 (except 3N) - there was a few neat rooms!

Thats okay, I get impatient too. And this is for everyone;

If you were to vote on one of my ideas based on its description, pick the best one. I may have the updated version of Infinite and the 40% done version of Beethro's Afterlife. Keep posting and feel free to ask questions.

-Jeremy

PS. Kevin, this time yesterday, im pretty sure you were a goblin with 24 pts.

Pop! I'm there!

Anyways, i think Erik's right. Take what seems cooler, and start working on it. For now, Pritanus' Dungeon is my main priority, but at times, i get off and continue some holds for cause of boredness, and sometimes contribute in community projects (Passing Of The Hold)

I doubted before, and still doubt in L3 3N1W it is possible to kill the spiders.

Yes, I definitely meant seep - sorry about that. And it's probably a good idea to make sure rooms are possible as you make them - it just seems to work better that way... with the whole being no chance of having impossible rooms thing.

Also, it is not possible to get to the secret room coming out of L4 in the SE - the one with all the trapdoors (there needs to be a non-trapdoor space for you to step off the last trapdoor).

Is it possible to kill all the queens in the same room, without getting stuck on one of the force arrows?
