Re: Encryption

Hello! CSBuild has a full encrypt option in the File menu. I used it for the first years mainly because of the scroll contest which, all things weighted, seemed justified. Since I was active on the forum, people stuck in the dungeon could rely on me and other members to get personnal hints rather th...

Custom dungeon 'Imprisoned Again' review by Benjamin Prieu (a.k.a Zyx)

Reviewer : Benjamin Prieu (a.k.a Zyx) Gameplay : 9. This dungeon is a model for good balance. The difficulty increases progressively, the weapons and armor are hard to find, the water level must be watched. Only the food is overabundant. Originality : 8. The tower idea is well transmitted, the pris...

Custom dungeon 'Conflux I' review by Benjamin Prieu (a.k.a Zyx)

Reviewer : Benjamin Prieu (a.k.a Zyx) Gameplay : 8. Interesting but very hard to balance correctly, some parts may prove too difficult, maybe access to the guilds is granted too soon.

Surprising. Interesting. A mix between narration and methodology. If I understand correctly, you're making your guide while advancing with several parties, in distinct folders. All along, you're maintaining new open threads about things to do, like some kind of journal. This could be put to words, i...

Re: Conflux III discussion thread - potential spoilers

That's one I may remember. Vampiric weapons work best with creatures of flesh and blood. Or should. Clearly spiders have a bad blood and spitter trees are a better vitality source. But the idea is that you can suck life more or less plentily according to each creature.

I can't remember! Probably. But you did reach me. I didn't go designing further than this point. So I decided to put some kind of "zyx was here" and tzimtzum!, to retire.

It's just a dream but I'm certain it's doable with CSBwin, and probably with DSB (which I don't know enough). Could it be a team project?...

Re: Conflux III discussion thread - potential spoilers

I seem to remember the deathtrap dungeon was cut out from Conflux because it was of poor quality.
Once upon a time, in previous versions, at the very beginning, if you stepped on the closed pit and stepped back before it would open, you would gain access.
