Back! I finished the hold. Advice: You shouldn't post your hold unless it has a good long story. I enjoy long holds. Very nice hold so far, it is worthy to have a series.

Keep posting,

Why not merge the 3 into 1 hold, and release it?

That might be it, the biggest file I ever uploaded was about 5 MB. I don't think you can get much higher. Voice acting adds a lot a weight!

10MB is the biggest size you can attach, I believe. That's still going to need a lot of work to get down to that size.

Okay, so I would take out the voice acting and try again.

LarryMurk's Odd Jobs Series was 11.4 mb.
Jason, you should keep the voice acting for Beethro and take out all the others. That might help it be more interesting and less file-sizish, big, and ahh... well you get the point.

Keep posting,

This is enjoyable ^_^ I love these story-based holds...

A couple things I'd bring up, though (other than the fact that I really, really wish this one was longer)...

When you put the whole thing in an all-in-one state like this, you really ought to take out the '2' and '3' rooms. They're just taking up time. I'd suggest completely removing it on the first one, and perhaps having Beethro get a distress call at the end of the second planet to segue into the third one.

When the Mud Commander thing is talking in the prison room of the third planet, the color you chose as a background for its speech looks *really* bad. Also it's harder to read than any of the other colors you've used. You *might* want to change that.

Looking forward to seeing more of this hold if you make more planets! :D

Hmmm, how DO you choose a color for someone's speech? I thought that was just set by who they were (IE: Beethro talks yellow).

o.o it's not chosen by the hold architect?

erm.

I guess that just means that mud mommas have a bad color picked out. I'm surprised they don't talk in red, anyhow. Really shouldn't be that awful black color.
