I disagree, but then I would.

The game has been tested lots, but the problem is that there is a big savegame bug in it, so really it should be withdrawn. That and to save my precious, precious ego.... ;

Wow - this one thing has caused so much grief.

Sorry all. It will change - I'm waiting on a review of the savegame bug by GG before I continue updating this game.

It might be an idea to withdraw this map until it is stable. :S

PS - thanks for all the feedback tho.

Ok, first I'll get the save bug and HP regeneration fixed before posting this. Also the first key will be made clearer and some minor text-changes too.

cheers for everyone's support!

Cheers all. Firstly, and I do stress, this game went out contianing known bugs. I take onboard Parallax's comments regarding BETA versions, but I did release it warning others regarding the bugs and was very reluctant to release until urged to do so on the forums. There are still huge issues with th...

The iron key is a swine to spot. I might replace it with a nice golden one. I always remember when I first played DM all those years ago spending days trying to find that first screamer key! So point taken. :) I didn't put in a hint of the key either - seemed to have issues attaching hints to object...

Cheers beowulf!

THE LATEST BUILD IS NOW STABLE AND A LOT HARDER! :) Hi all, after much research and soul-searching I've finally hosted my awesome dungeon somewhere. It may even make into the great Library of Dungeons. OK, it's my first attempt, so don't expect genius. It is hosted on a yahoo site:- http://uk.groups...

Both very good points:- Linflas - I can't figure out how to do that, so will redirect the user to the yahoo groups page instead for now. Beowulf - that is very kind of you. I am happy to send you the 52k file for hosting, but it does have a saving bug in it. If you still happy to host, then OK, give...

Well, despite the odd crash, and in hindsight being a bit amateurish, I've uploaded my "two Lovers" RTC file here: http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Dungeon_Master_Archive/ all visitors welcome:- guest ID - darooudm guest password - visitor feel free to join if you have a yahoo ID, and yes,...

Man alive, this is very impressive-looking!

Well, that's made my mind up then - I'm sticking to retro, DM1!
I don't fancy my chances going up against anything this graphically rich.

Hi all, well having downloaded it for the new RTC v0.4.4, I can say that the hall of champions look s great, but then it crashes when I go down the first steps in the main game and turn left - something about divide by zero. NB: I could only download the original dungeon, not the update posted later...

I might treat myself to the film boxset... hmmm, perhaps we should have more killer bunny rabbits in dungeons... imagine that as a final boss!

I was thinking of doing some sort of Knight-Orc rip-off, where you'd replace the bitmaps for the baddies with bitmaps of adventurers, and you'd just be a trolin and his mates. Or perhaps I'd finally write that quest where you are the actual dungeon builders who are fed-up, unpaid, double crossed and...

Bah, testing it!Tell me about it! :( Currently I've stalled the release as I've got a bizarre crash-when-saving issue in two of the levels... any ideas how to QA / resolve this? Ameena: in terms of documentation, I've tried to impart some sense of narration through wall messages etc. My first endeav...

Size isn't an issue surely - I've gotten up to about 160k. :) Cheers for the offer Christophe - I was wondering how to register. I'll try to get it onto the DMweb too if possible. As well as the dungeon, am currently working on the hints part of it. Do you guys need any other sort of documentation t...

Hi dudes, love the game, enjoy the RTC editor. Having created a dungeon, where do you usually keep them? Having looked around, I see that each submission comes with a link to a personal website as a way of hosting the data - have these dungeons ever been collated somewhere? If so, is it still in use...
