Dungeon Master Forum

Update:

Cave is finished!

Download this dungeon from this Shared OneDrive (in the 'Custom Dungeons' folder)

Hey mates,

I am building a dungeon for my dad and mom which loves Dungeon Master. It can not be hard at all since they are a bit slow with things and rather have a puzzler before the action. I am down to 3 levels so far and I would love some of your feedback on the dungeon.

I am also new to this forum and I gotta say that I already love it .

A little late in the UK to check it out now, but I'll try it later in the week.

And welcome to the forums!

cannot download from filedropper (blacklisted site from my work place ), any alt. link ?

I don't have time to check this out myself, busy working on too many other things, but there are lots of others here who can test it for you. Cheers r0ck

i'll put it up on here tonight linflas

Just completed it as far as you have got. No problems or dead ends so far. Think you are going in the right direction as far as puzzles and strength of creatures are concerned. I really look forward to the finished dungeon.

I am really happy to hear this I will continue on this project tonight. Thank you for your feedback!

Sneeky one with the fireballs and the door on the second level. Had me thinking for a while on that one.

Added the alternative link for anyone that needs it

Hehe, like intended then . I am done with 2 more levels of the dungeon now and I will finish it soonish because my first Cave for my fox shouldnt be to long . I will start on another project after this "Training" I get with doing this one thought, one alot tougher for people on this forums

I just finished my dungeon ladies and gentlemen! If you decide to play it I would love all feedback possible for my future projects. Remember I didnt want to make it to long or hard since it is for my parents primarily.

Updated the DM.com link so you don't have to give your e-mail address to the filehost people.

Fun little romp. I think everything should be understandable even to a DM newbie (perhaps not spells). Only one flask might be evil if someone manages to do something foolish to get rid of it. Wasn't sure what the DES potion was for, didn't know what the first set of footprints led to either (didn't find a hidden area there).

Also missed the portcullus and alcove near the giggler, could not find a way to get it back up again. Was it simply a bonus if you moved quickly enough to get it?

Thank you very much for your feedback and playthru As it was my first cave ever I missed out on some things, like the DES potion. It has no use what so ever, wasnt meant to be in final release. First footprints is just a "teaser" to not find the solution for the second ones as easy. And yes, the giggler is a bonus if you are fast enough . Again, thank you for playing the dungeon!

I played and finished your dungeon I loved the beginning with music that fits well and gives a good atmosphere,
but I find the games too quickly finish the next version will be longer??

Glad you liked it! Yea, next Dungeon will be bigger Thank you for trying my dungeon!

no problem I really liked your dungeon

Hi!

I've been enjoying playing your dungeon when suddenly it was all over! I defeated an army of trollins on level 3 or 4 or so, came to a black door and got a final message with congratulations. I'm not sure if I played only a demo or the full version? I definitely didn't open most of the doors in the Room of Mysteries (or something). The file has 2 596 085 B - can you tell me if it's the full version or not?
(I had some difficultied when downloading the file so I started more downloads from the multiple links in your first post and as a result I don't know which one I've downloaded )

Anyway, as I said, I did enjoy playing it! I like this traditional-style dungeons with the original graphics. There were some nice puzzles and fights that were tough but still doable and not frustrating and it all worked well.

Me too so it was exactly my cup of tea. I liked it!

Oh, only a small note: because I usually play with one character only I - er... - I got rid of one of them at the beginning and played with one only. I hope the characters did not represent your parents (it's so nice to build a game for your parents!) because I don't want to be in a position of... er... killing your father.

And the last note - I haven't played RTC for some time so I was very surprised by the new and smooth graphics. Is it somehow derived from the Dungeon Master HD presented in the other thread?

I'm looking forward to playing more your dungeons! Thank you for this excellent one!

Jan
you have reached the end. The dungeon only consisted of 4 levels. Also the 2 characters did represent his parents so in effect you will be going to prison for life.

I downloaded the version in the first post - I guess this is the unfinished one.

The alt link deosn't work, DM.com is down.

The other links ask for an email address - I enter it but it won't send me the link!

It takes a while to send prepare the link on that e-mail one, that and worry over giving people your e-mail address are the reason I mirror these things!

Weird, I have had success and failure downloading from DM.com. It's on there, keep trying. Two successes and two failures, so maybe try again later.

Here's a direct link, not that it shoudl matter:
http://dmweb.free.fr/Stuff/files/dungeon/Rickard.RTC

All sorted, the email came! Finished in 23 mins and 14 secs. Fun game, bits I must have missed

@ r0ck
I downloaded it..and its brilliant!!

Good work.

Jan must have the full version as the Mysterious rooms wasn't included on the first release which ended on level 3.

Hello Jan and thank you for trying my dungeon! Damn you for killing one of my parents haha, good its only a game I appreciate your feedback and overall it seems you liked my cave! Which ofcourse enlighten me to continue doing dungeons . I am as we speak working on "Grimrock", my next dungeon which will be alot longer than this one. Thing is that the cave had to be somewhat short for my parents to be able to have time to finish it

And yea the graphics i used is the new "HD Version" that light made among the forums. Cheers to you light btw! Again thank you Jan

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for the mirrors and such. Awesome that it can we downloaded directly from this site

Not a problem! I don't know what was happening before, but hopefully it's hassle free so people can play your hard word! Understandable but a shame that many free download places have a few hoops to jump through or many advertising bits popping up.

I'll always try to put such mirrors in to your own posts so you can edit/remove them if you update, etc.

Finished this nice little one!
Also it is just a training-project I would like to recommend some things:
- choose a more dramatic end next time
- if there is one character who is a ninja at the beginning, give him something to do (i.e. wappons, puzzles etc)
- I detected - well, not a dead end for this game, but maybe for another one: you can grab the green gem from behind the open door. Then it closes - and you can not get back... no problem, if it is not nessecary, but if...

All in all a good game in traditional manner.
