Underground prison: etrance. Is it okay that I killed stalwart that helped me?

EDIT: No, it's not okay, since NPC's script doesn't end after that. Fix that, please. Thanks.

It seems that saying "that your hold is dumb" you're having a mistake.

It's quite easy, yes, but better than, at least, "Dungeon master".

I'm on first level now...

Good job for now!

Specific room comments will come soon. :)

1S 2E: I found the unintended(probably) way of solving the room. Mirrors were unnecessary, and room became a little hack-and-slash. I've attached the demo.

Is this way okay?

Comment going on the first level:

1E: Nice room. I didn't move mirrors. Did you? ;)
1S: NIce, too, but easier than 1E(and the rest of the rooms in this level).
1S 2E: See my demo. I guess intended way was more beautiful. Umm... and why brain?
1S 1E: Pretty cool, but you used this puzzle in many of your other holds. Tip: don't use the same puzzle in different holds, try to think out something new. There're a lot of combinations with adder and tarstuff. Try something new. Maybe you will even change this room...
2S 2E: Umm... This room spoils the level. It's not that enjoyable and probably easier than other rooms.(and Slayer is dead, of course)

Either my ears hear music quite bad, or you use deep spaces sounds in it. Isn't caravel music copyrighted?

Devil's castle inside:

1W: First time I thought it was really challenging, but then I realised I can use one of alcoves to kill roaches easily. So, quite easy room.
1E: Speed poiton is unnecessary, I think.

Underground:

1N: Quite clever idea. Though masses of mud spoil this room a little.
2N: Why hot tiles? To kill goblins? I didn't use hot tiles to kill goblins. Remove them, please. Thanks.
3N: Nice, nice...

You've fixed it indeed.

I see no problems with the hold. You can even submit it now... but I would recomment waiting for some days or for a week or two.

(Also, I would recomment adding my name in the credits. ;) )

EDIT: Since it has imported custom copyrighted music in it, submiting must be delayed until it's not removed.

Architest...

I wonder why this hold has 2,4 megs size.

Maybe because you didn't clearly delete deep spaces music?

Try making some NPC, going in script "Set music" and choosing music.

If there's deep spaces music there, you might delete this. JUst select it and press "delete".
EDIT: Now I'm sure that you didn't delete copyrighted file. Do it. Follow this post.

Architest,

Next time remember to remove copyrighted music/graphics from import list. Remember that even if you don't use it but imported it, you've already used copyrighted file and need to ask permission to use it.

Still, sometimes it's better to ask permission. For example, in case you really need copyrighted file.

Thanks for updating the hold Architest. :)
Now look at my demo of 1S 2E. I used horde-solution again.

You might remove mirrors, and make the room looking like:

See the img. If you'll make the room looking like in img, you'll remove all doors problems, all unintended solutions...

Not always, according to the Cambridge Dictionaries online, it means (as a verb),

1.to put down or drop something in a careless way.
2.to get rid of something unwanted, especially by leaving it in a place where it is not allowed to be.
3.to sell unwanted goods very cheaply, usually in other countries
4.(informal) to suddenly end a romantic relationship you have been having with someone.
5.(specialized) to move information from a computer's memory to a storage device.

It has lots of other meanings when used as a noun, which I'm not going to list.

Besides, I don't think that you have to say much when it's about spelling mistakes, right? O:-
