The stairs in level 4 end the hold, and thank you for playing the first two levels.

Edit: er, just to make it clear, I wasn't thanking anyone for playing the first two levels, that was the message I got when I went down the stairs.

Darn it, I'm almost positive I made sure the stairs went to 5. I'll go fix it.

EDIT:

Fixed. I also took the opportunity to add more checkpoints near stairs and in a few other tedious rooms, as well as implementing the II2S2E challenge, albeit slightly unprofessionally.

For those of you who don't like reading: download this! Download this!

Could well be. I didn't actually try it with door-closing. :-)

Anyway, I'm sorry you had those feelings for III1S1E, but I found the same room to be horrendously difficult, especially for a third-level room.

OK, yes, I see the "third-level room" point. Well, I'm glad I had the chance to do the original version, at any rate.

As for the wraithwing in IV1N4E, just keep trying.

Ah. Yes. 1N4E. Who edited my post to say 1N4W? Well, anyway; made it through.

Now, though, I'm a little confused by V-1N3W. (Yes, really W this time.)

If that's the room I'm thinking of, you don't - it gets to you.

I wonder what puzzles you will pop with serpents in level 6!

BTW i like this hold a lot. REALLY a lot. It has a better difficulty curve. If you're not careful, then Erik and his gang will rip off your ideas in TCB!

Oh really? So this hold has all the new objects that we put in TCB? Hmmm, Chaco, I think that we're going to have to have a little talk out here on this dark road in the middle of the night with a few of my friends and their baseball bats...

Game on,

Oneiro, stop beating him, I'm trying to ask him about the north-facing eye at (36, 28), and the breakable wall at (36, 26) that means he never sees you.

and even if the wall wasn't there, the eye will get stuck on the first arrow.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I can't fix it right now because DROD's gotten all buggy on me again. And not in the good way.

Hm, I don't think there's any good bugs in DROD. At least, I know all the bugs I'm responsible for are evil. Evil, I tell ye! Evil! Mwahahahha!

Roaches

Anyway, wmarkham says I've gotta wait until 2.0.11 before I can get back on DROD. Darn it, I hate waiting to play DROD!

One of you guys can fix the breakable wall bug, I just added it in for a little random crumbliness.

Just so's you know, you also made the stairs room required, so the blue door won't drop in 1N3W.

Oh, darn. And I was almost certain I was past making that error. You can be certain it'll get fixed.

Terribly sorry for the delay (playing other people's holds, mostly)

Level VI is now up, and names for several other levels are on. Bugs have been fixed. The legendary Snakes and Ladders level may now be cleared. And an introduction to Level VII is up too.

Oh good! I quite missed this. But: can the new version be set to be an update of the old version? I'd hate to have to start from the top. :-)

Level 2 in the latest version. Have you made the stairs room required? I can't drop the blue door.

Sorry, but I was unable to export my player file from 2.0.11 to 2.0.12, so, as a result, DROD thinks I'm a different Chaco. Not to worry, that's why the first few levels aren't too hard

Yes. You do have to kill those roaches

Other than that, I can't think of anything that would keep the blue door from dropping.

I would definitely suggest adding a warp room for testing, Chaco, because otherwise most of your old testers won't be willing to play through unchanged rooms all over again.

Game on,

Sorry, I had thought of that, but I had quite forgotten.

I'll just temporarily make the staircases actually work

EDIT:

Here we go. It will be a simple matter to rebreak the staircases once the hold is published.

Ooops--looks like the stairs on VI end the hold.

[Edit: and while I'm here, is the north end of VII - 1N1W supposed to be a dead end?]

Duh! Why can't I see a solution when I have already played the same room a few days before? It was a long and tiring day? Post Xmas Stress Disorder? Some days I think I should leave DROD alone and go play Putt-Putt Joins The Parade.

*sigh*

I'll fix the bug, but more VII rooms will need to come later.

EDIT:

Here. A clarification on VII: there's only one room in each direction. That is, one directional restriction puzzle, one rotation restriction puzzle, and one regular mimic puzzle so far. More will come at the dead ends in the next version.

Yeah. The main bit to be happy and joyous about is the finishing of level VI, but I threw in a taster for VII just to keep you guys happy.
