Extra material #1 :

AE level set.

This is the first level set I made in AE. To use it, you must find the activation code found somewhere in this hold.

Ground Floor: Quarce North Twice West (extra security) *really* needs a checkpoint badly. I refuse to play onward until it is added.

Oh, okay. It's in. The rest of the hold should be really quite excellent and to your satisfactory.

Yeah, I did. The server's currtently playing silly buggers when I try to upload the hold, so it should be on sharpish

In the AE bonus level, the stairs at the end of the level go back to the start of the bonus level, resetting the rooms.

:? I can't download this. DROD is telling me I'm using the same version as what I was using during the Beta, and won't let me change it to the final version.

Are the small stairs on 7 supposed to go back to level 6?

If not, they do. And that should be fixed ASAP.

They're not meant to, although I swear I've already fixed that like three times already. I think I'm gonna have to really work the testers for KPVIIID3.

Well, so far... Perfect. You have a knack for creating interesting rooms and this hold is full of them. I'll vote once finished, but it's good to see passion.

I second that. They're especially fun for optimizing. Or maybe thats just me, since my handful of #1s are virtually all trapdoor puzzles.

Ah, I couldn't sleep. I was feeling sick, and when that happens, I sort of DROD it off, you know. It seems to work for me.

I *know* the final beta for this hold had all the stairs working right... I've not downloaded the public version yet, though. Hopefully it'll work. Hey, the beta forum's gone so I can download it! Yay!

Yeah, I checked all the stairs multiple times before the final release! And then I played through the whole game!

The only thing I could think that could be the problem is that one stair was blocked by a yellow, and one a blue. There was no orb in sight though.

That stair's been blocked with a yellow from the start, though...

So... does the current version make the level 7 stairs go to level 8 or its equivalent?

The current version is able to be played through. It goes to a level I had not seen before. Some may have been skipped, but I'd doubt it.

Is there a missing secret room though? I can't find one somewhere...it's the level with the 4-option room in 2W. I found only one secret.

Maybe it's just me, but aren't the arrows at the entrance of Sixth Floor, 1N 1W making the room totally trivial?

I don't remember them being there in the beta...

np: Egoexpress - Knartz 4 (Hot Wire My Heart)

And furthermore, you probably should replace the message you get when you conquer the hold - "THANKS FOR TESTING!" is probably not quite apropriate for a released hold... :D

np: Banco De Gaia - Flow My Dreams, The Android Wept (Farewell Ferengistan)

Wow! Great hold once again! Better than the first! All the rooms are just perfect! I downloaded the extra stuff, and I loved the music! I really liked Battle and EnmyAjit! And the pictures were nicely drawn! Did you draw the pics for the RPG? Those were really nice! Just wondering, how did you make the music? Logic? GarageBand?
Well, I really enjoyed this hold, and i'm waiting forward to the 3rd one!

Zex : If you mean the room that starts with the tar, here's a hint.

Briareos : Well, technically, you are testing the hold when you play through it. This was an unintentional error, but if you think of it like that, then it should be fine. And yes, the arrows have always been there.

tokyokid : Being honest, I didn't draw the pictures. They came with the japanese version of RPG Maker XP. But that version is a shareware. I also didn't make the music, because I don't have that equipment. The third one is going to have A LOT of custom floors in it.

Ummm, about "shareware" - I'm not sure it means what you think it mean; at least it sure doesn't mean "share it as you like"...

np: B. Fleischmann - 02/00 (Monsters of Morr Music)
