Dungeon Master Forum

Hi !
I'm delighted to see that some new dungeons are being created with DSB/ESB ! I really had a great time with this engine, although it,'s been a while since I created anything with it.
I'm looking forward to try your dungeon, whenever I have the time. Soon, hopefully!

Sasha

Thanks a lot for the review, Trantor. Such involvement is, again, heartwarming. I also see that you made the effort to work on your dungeon, I'll try it, whenever I can get some free time ! I know how hard it is to re-work on old things (i'd have to learn again a lot of things, to do that for my dun...

"les grands esprits se rencontrent", as we say in my homeland ; i'll now have to give a try to your Doom Blade ! Is it a RTC dungeon ? Off-topic : I was quite "disappointed", when I released UH, to see that only a few players even gave it a try. Jan and The master were brave enou...

Thanks again for the feedback. It seems that some endgame parts are very much confusing for most players . I promise, someday, i'll make it more intuitive, add hints , rebalance the whole thing. The first half of the dungeon globally had good feedbacks, which isn't the case of the second half. I'll ...

Hello ! I'm glad to see some people are still playing the dungeon ; When I made it, I spent, well, 16/24h everydays for a few weeks, and nearly never modified it again, apart for some critical debugging/rebalancing issues. I'd have loved to be more patient, and provide a better experience. Moreover,...

Back on topic ; you should talk to Mophus, I reckon he loves comparing virgins too.

Well, now I have to run CSB again. Thank you, really, I didn't feel insane enough these days.

I played the above mentionned "FTL", for several weeks now ; as Gambit said, it has enough online reviews, I'll make it short : I enjoyed the game ; at first, mostly because of the "nostalgic" feeling it has (I especially loved the ambient music). I barely played SunDog, so I can...

spell from the scroll. Oh, dear, I am a giddy goat.

You could have avoided a threesome with golems ; I think you deliberately ignored the scroll's meaning

I think that after the first few levels you should need magic light, though I may have forgotten turning the lights off on some levels , that always happens to me in real life :) . For the "final boss", it's not intended to be hard (anyway, everything is a piece of cake from the moment you...

True ; well that was not really an "idea", rather a lack of time/investment ; the dungeon is sadly not as polished as I wished it would be :/ . Although it's still good to have details about what was particulary annoying, thanks ! (hope you were not too much disappointed, the wizard pass w...

Ah, the girl with the mousy hair is finally gonna have an answer ! Since then, she's probably became jaded about all this, though .

True ! When soloing, it may be hard to wear heavy armor, especially because of chests. Though : remember the gentle dragon of the first levels ? It's quite early to be able to kill it "like a man", but luring him into the oh ven clouds works nice ! you can trigger the oh ven launcher anyti...

dress like a "guard" (well actually, just carrying each items will do it ...) Ummm.... I don't think I understand. I mean the Eye at the "Guards Barracks" a few squares from the alcove (with the Master Key I think) where I was "sandwiched" by the Two Stone Golems. Coul...

One question. What do I have to show to the Eye to open the Guard Barracks (I guess there's nothing important there)? You just have to dress like a "guard" (well actually, just carrying each items will do it ...) . If you mean the "guard captain quarters", you can open it by eit...

Thanks a lot for the offer ! That was something I was badly missing for this dungeon, but, being "new" on these forums, I thought that asking so would have been inappropriate. I'll PM you for sure when I start the next dungeon .

Finished. But Sasha could I have my 200 gold pieces now please. Congratulations ! :D You deserved the gold coins well . Thought it was a very good game, although some of the puzzles especially in the lower levels wouldn't have made sense had I not asked Sasha for help. I think in future dungeons Sa...

IMHO the fights are very nicely balanced, even in the "mana draining room" and in the "worst nightmare" part - it's hard, very hard, but still doable. In many cases, it's - to quote the Duke of Wellington after tha battle of Waterloo - "a damn close run thing", but sti...

so I would think I am nearing the end - or am I?

Well, if you're fighting him, with debian and nebula, it should be a piece of screamer for you. Well done !

I still have a tiny hope that you do not hate me yet !
Thanks again !

I made some changes, everything should be okay now (well most of the things) . -Difficulty reduced at some parts of the game: (less antmen in the mana draining room, less monsters in the demonic stone levels, the "golem trap" is just one golem instead of two :) ) -Texts, speeches more read...

That's the door he was talking about

It should open if you come back alive from the "demonic stone" level. Just a few nice things here -- nothing really vital

Anyway, I have some free time today , i'll debug and rebalance the whole (in the actual version, the screamer edge, the room of subtle happiness, and the "spell row" should be fixed. I'll take some time to make the "nebula history" more readable, i'll rebalance the "demonic ...

Alright, now I see why there's a need for the Eye of Time ! :shock: I think I'm on the very edge of my own sanity. :twisted: Doesn't it matter, Sasha, that I'd only opened two Key of B doors and then cast the spell and went the "hard way" (*)? I don't want to be trapped in this place or s...

Anyway, looking back I know that I'm playing too fast, not paying much attention to details and hints, but I feel that the player is left here a little bit "in the mist". It's quite hard, I think, to figure out how to: - create the "Nebula" - cast the right spell - where was it ...

I'll make a quick walktrough of chapter 3 to make it easier : 1)you open the winged keys door, get the panacea, with a scroll which gives hints about what spell is meant to be cast to use it : vi bro ra . 2)downstairs, with the appropriate number of gor coins, you can access the astral forge. There ...

I meant vi bro sar sorry thé dragon invoked when forgin nebula holds a key

If you throw things into the haze they become "unreachable" because you cannot enter the haze - a way to get stuck I'm afraid. The library should have hinted you, but as you hadn't the time to read it ... :oops: (the haze - forge needs a lightning bolt to be activated) The panacea spell i...

PS :

Spoiler

Consuming the panacea to get the demonic stone is probably not a good idea if you had enough gor coins. Your objective yet is to use the forge, and open all the key of b doors.

Two unexplained messages are there, they're the key perhaps, but I can't find their meaning - "Fresh Water - Friendship..." and "Reverse spell..." These are hints for using the panacea. think of the meaning of each rune. you got to hold the panacea in hand. The reverse spell is ...
