Good going!

Will I be working on board 2,1 or 4,2? And are there any guidelines in the graphics department?

Use STK.

You're 2,1. 4,2 is commodore's board.

Zamros, I found yours and you can do something like I did on the mockups by leaving an edge open and then bottlenecking the player into your preferred entrance area. Also I like the idea of a large invisible maze as a 1-way area, but make sure you put in your red key somewhere.

InfoSponge and Commodore should check it out so you three agree on board exits.

My mock-up is uploaded

Okay, so far, so good. Again, if you're adjacent to Seventh Shade's mockup, you should check to make sure your board connections work.

Asie, you've got the hidden room, may I place a hint on my board as to how to get there? It'll be really vague, and I'll rhyme it if I can.

So we're not seeing the board before like the original plan? And, therefore, no real graphical continuity? That's all well, of course, just not what I originally thought.

Nah, I changed that a while back when I realized that I wasn't prepared to sort out the inconsistencies that would result. Standard ZZT puzzle-style for this one. And different graphics for every board might actually add to the effect.

my internet at home is dead pending further notice.

What do you mean? That the style of the game is standard (and so should be puzzle-based), or that the puzzles themselves should be standard (no unorthodox puzzles)? Just wondering if I'll be disqualified if I try anything too contemporary.

Yeah I've been shooting for a group of small object related puzzles in DR. LUCKY'S MYSTERY MANOR

Scribbit · Post by **Scribbit** » Wed Nov 12, 2008 11:56 pm

Sorry, I should have clarified that. I meant classic puzzle style in that the game will be a series of puzzles strung together. Interesting and new puzzles are therefore the entire point of this exersize, and should be encouraged.

Unrelated question: Is this the same Dr. Lucky who's numerous murder attempts resulted in a board game award?

Post by **Dr. Dos** » Thu Nov 13, 2008 3:25 am

Yes. Although I never played the game, I just like the name.

Okay, I'm trying to make my board like a sort of lobby. I'm thinking it'll have general tools, like maybe a mini-game where you can gain health or something.

Is anyone using score as a reward? Even if I don't make a shop, it'd be cool to make a game with a highscore table and all.

Weird idea: we should see if we can load this into Plastic multiplayer when it's done, or else just all be in the same chatroom, so we can comment on each other's work as we play.
