Have the same idea and this is what am doing right now. Already write over 50 pages of design and mostly spend time on new graphics and hundreads details. In result have begining area and one fully playable level (ambitious projects are so slow)

Agreed! Zed has the advantage of not losing time with having to learn the RTC engine though!

Looks like we're all doing the same things in our dungeons...

please I need motivation to finish my Dungeon, to encourage me thank you

How far have you got?

thank you beowuuf my Dungeon advances very well it will be soon to finish

Good news RAF, if you need help for the editor or some new graphics (wallitems, flooritems or other) ask me.

It will soon finish? Excellent! Make the last steps and your motivation will VERY probaly return when you birng it here.

Hey man wish good luck and buy you beer or two (motivation)

And dont forget about testing

OK my dungeon will soon be to end, Some person are going to test the beta version

Other small question, to prefer you a dungeon with a lot of secret passage or not of the whole with fake wall???

It is your dungeon, you should make it the way you want to. I personally do not mind fake walls as long as you give us a map at some point

Fake walls are okay as long as you have some hints to them and that you do not put essential items i.e keys in them. I find that going round an entire level tapping on every single wall is not only time consuming but boring as well. In a large dunegeon can you imagine how long it would tke to tap on every single wall to find a fake one.

OOh, sounds cool RAF

I agree with 'the master', 100%!

The beta version in French is to end some French are going to test my dungeon and to express me their opinion

yup, if there are fake walls, or too many spinners, there should be a map of some sort, or you can use a spell to see the illusionary walls, of course that's later in the game, when you want to see what you have missed so far.

A demo version of my dungeon is to end in French, the choice of the champions has a big importance in my dungeon then choose, please!

If the demo of my dungeon pleases you I would end it, not to esiter not to give me your impression

Amuse you, please

i playtested it, and even if you don't understand french i recommend it : a classic dungeon with clever puzzles

Thank you linflas for your comment

merci linflas pour ton commentaire

So far so good. Has a classic DM feel so far, with some of the original puzzles. The opening screen is a nice touch, and the music only sounds at key places.

Not too far yet, will say more later.

BEOWUUF thank you for your test, me would like to know what champion you have chooses???

I found this to be very helpful in the beginning, to get started. (I speak/read no french)

the music only sounds at key places.

I do not play with sound, hopefully it is not too important?

Currenty I am at a door that says "Niveau IV" next to it, and I have reached some puzzles that require instruction which I cannot understand. I am going to look into using a French to English translator to see if that helps out.

The battles are pretty difficult, which is nice. So far the dungeon is good, but with a file that large I am wondering how many floors it is?

(edit) Also, when your character is poisoned their food and water bars are in English. It was kind of odd to see, just thought you should know.

google translate seems to be fantastic. I'm surprised you made it to level four without needing the translation, you must ave lucked the 'same material' doors

Some wall and scroll translations which I hope will assist those who no speaka the french language. These are close translations but I take no responsibility if they prove incorrect. If you find any that I have missed then please let me know. bonne chance avec le jeu

Can someone help me please. I have just picked up the Zo scroll and 4 mummys have appeared behind me. I cannot fight them off so I am wondering if I should have picked up the fireball or poison scroll by now. If so can someone tell me where it/they are. Thanks

Sorry, I pressed edit instead of quote in your previous reply, hope I didn't mess anything up too badly!

Anyway, one small correction: (from google translate though)

la porte ne s'ouvrira que s'il est place un objet de la meme matiere dans l'alcove

Spoiler

the door will open only if an object is placed in the same matter in the alcove

That's why the solutions mentioned work, and also explains why another similar door closeby also opens how it opens.


As top the Zo area...hmm, I think the fireball is later

Spoiler

As far as I can see, you need to get three gold keys before you can get the fireball spell, and you face a similar fight. It's near the end of level II

. Can I suggest knowing you will trip the trap, you do everything you can do fight them off - prepare healing spells, shield spells if you have the mana, and ensure all your back row are constantly throwing out fear effects. It's a tough fight if you aren't prepared for it, but once I was prepared for it, it worked out ok. And as long as one person makes it out ok, the VI altar is not too far away so it's also survivable in that mindset too

@Beowuuf: I don't know if I am lucky, but most of the puzzles up to where I am are pretty straight forward. I really do feel that I am missing a great deal of story, as I have no idea what is going on. I will have to try google, hopefully that will help.

@the master: Beowuuf is right as far as I know, you cannot avoid the fight.

(edit) I just read that translation you posted right above me Beowuuf, I have a set of items that I try in each aclove that needs to be opened. I guess that could be considered lucky.

(edit) I was looking for a key I already had, but the translations were nice to finally know what is going on kinda.

That was exactly what I meant by lucky - I suppose there were a couple of answers, but yeah, you lucked out placing them unless you placed everything

Hmmm. I'm only getting 14 k/sec on this file, even though on Zshare I usually get 150-200 k/sec. This isnt happening with any other files on Zshare or on the net in general, and im not downloading anything else. Has anyone else had this problem?

It says it'll be done in an hr. (twiddles thumbs)
