Ok, so i decided to redo my old Level Request Marketing idea.

This time, you must fill this list:

-Story of hold (None for normal dungeon cleaning)
-Number of levels (I don't care how many this time!)
-Shape of the levels: (None for any)
-Puzzles you want in the rooms: Tell me what you want as lvl themes.

And... that's it!

List of holds in making:

-tokyokid's hold

Pending:

-jjohn7418's hold
-UrgAvgAzn(next time, don't make yer name to complex!)'s hold

So, fourth order, please?


This time, it won't go cancelled

Why a mod down? I just want to know.

Hey Jeff_Ray... Could you make a level with tar and mud puzzels thanks! If I like it would you mind if I use it for a hold?

-Story of hold Don't bother with story in level.
-Number of levels 1
-Shape of the levels: none
-Puzzles you want in the rooms: Tar and mud

I don't know if this has been done before, and I think I understand what you're asking for, but how's this?:



Hope this helps. Thanks for letting everyone have input.

Thanks, Jim

Just for reference, I modded this post down not because of it's content (which there's nothing wrong with) but because of the all-CAPs title. Blech.

I've edited it.

tokyokid: Do you want other monsters along with your mud and tar puzzles? And i think you'd like to include it in yur Tar&Mud hold, hmm? Well, you can, just give me credit.

jjohn: Can i have a border surrounding the letter?

When you two answer these questions, i will start the making.


EDIT: BIG WARNING!
From now on, you'll order rooms via PM.

Tar and mud and maybe some roach queen puzzels. I won't use it in my tar and mud hold, but my new one: Count Them's Dungeon. I'll credit you in the level description. Will you post it here when it's done?

Naw, i'll either e-mail or PM it to you. If i choose the former, you'll receive a PM anyways.

Oh, and make another level out of yourself, or it will feel like it's something made by me. You're on the pending list.

Great idea Jeff! Mind if I make a request? I'll need to use it in my hold as well and may do some tweaking. I'll give you credit. So here's basically what I want:

-Story of hold: Don't put any story. This will be inserted into my hold Grecklivore 2 which already has a story.
-Number of levels: Two levels
-Shape of the levels: For both of the levels, make them a 3x3 grid. Actually here's an example (secreted to save space):

Click here to view the secret text
×D=Door - and |=Walls Through Rooms S=Start F=Finish

|--------------------|
|      |     |       |
|      D     D       |
|      |     |       |
|---D------------D---|
|      |     |       |
|      |  F  |       |
|      |     |       |
|---D-----D------D---|
|      |     |       |
|      D     |       |
|      |     |      S|
|--------------------|

-Puzzles you want in the rooms: Hard Puzzles, about 8.5 brain difficulty. But no Hack'n'Slash or overly repetitive puzzles. Make it so there is no set theme (besides hard puzzles).

Thanks again Jeff!

Are you sure you didn't include a superfluous prefix in that sentence?

Seriously. What's the point of this project? I still fail to see why you (and anyone else) would want to do this, and how it results in good holds.

Is it lack of ideas, and you want to make *something*? In that case, there are better solutions.

I just want others to play holds when they're bored or done pretty much everything and want something that matches their tastes.

Well, since mine got deleted, you can go on to the next person's request. Besides my hold is almost done. Go ahead, I don't mind.

You know, just about every hold matches that. Just make something, and you've got this part covered.

something that matches their tastes

What matches people's tastes? Puzzles and inventiveness - Holds that get high ratings. See also Resources on the site on building.

You'll probably please more people by making something of your "own", and aren't restricted by strict requirements.

I already have Pritanus' Dungeon, a rather hard hold. You can go and try if you wish.

EDIT: You may find it easy, because you're damn skilled.

Okay, for serious now, it's been two months and you haven't produced a single level.

This is the second time you've done this. Really. Just drop the marketing thing, make holds.

No, that's the thing. You are bringing people's hopes up, which is the only issue. People are literally waiting on you to give them these levels for their holds. I can see delays of a week or two. And yeah, mod me down, but while Jeff is, in fact, comedy gold, this is starting to get a wee bit ridiculous.

People are waiting for 2 years for one SINGLE game, so a few months is nothing compared to this. BTW, it's only got to be better, because the longer it takes, the better it is.

Also, everybody has one hold to make: UrAvgAzn works on bonber50's, lst6on jjohn's, and me on UrAvgAzn's.
