[Custom dungeon] Gemstone [RTC] [Zed5Duke]

Post by Zed5Duke »

Version: 1 for RTC V0.49
Platform: RTC
Author: Zed5Duke
Date published: 2009, January 8
Date last updated: 2009, January 19

Notes:
Game is small and funny, it end at moment when you find treasure: gemstone from legends. This dungeon was made in three days using DM1 and some DM2 gfx. Its not very big in size but riddles and monsters dont let to win very quick.

I made many playtests during construction, so everything should work ok.

I think that's where I got stuck... :(
I'm wondering the same thing, Linflas...

Ok, I guess I was expecting a bit more. It took me about half an hour to see the end of the dungeon. It's very short and very easy. Too bad there are no real puzzles, challenging fights (the arena was a piece of cake), and no real ending. If you hadn't said the game is over when you find the gem, I would still be looking for a way to go on.
I didn't like the Temple of Water. Dead-end traps are terrible design, period. Accidental dead-ends are bad enough, but deliberate ones? I would also like to point out that if you don't take Garret (I think that's his name) with you, you are stuck very early because you don't have lockpicks. This is another absolute no-go in my mind.

RTC crashed when I tried to walk past the fireball holes down the stairs behind the skeleton in the room with the 6 bashable doors. Will try again - nothing wrong with a "lite" dungeon :D

As far as I know - yes linflas. That's how I understood it at least, and I didn't find anything else to do.

Is there anything to do on the level above the gem, about the three "misplaced" doors and the door with a lock ?
