Now we can all make maps built entirely out of potatos and not worry about compatability issues.

Spoiler below!
So does that mean that the fatal error I'm getting trying to open the door in the area after the grand staircase chase (the one with the 5-6 brutes chasing you) isn't going to be fixed?

Shame. This was actually pretty good.

That's the end of the map Rikeu, so yes. Only patches I may be doing in future is to add checkpoints so you can't just die to escape a bit you don't like, and I'll be locking a few exit doors/adding new start areas for them. I'll add an ending to it so it doesn't crash your game too.

Another plan I had was to make these levels a central part to my new story, after improving the detail/story/bugs - I'd probably have them as say just after the beginning 5 levels from my new one, and just before the final 5-10 of the new one. I need to improve the 2nd Gallery, but overall I like the Galleries too much to leave them out.

PLEASE give me feedback on specific scares.

The painting monster, carpet fall, the attic monster, the statues, and grand staircase

I think I found a lil miss as well, loads of light streaming down from total darkness?

Really enjoyed the story though, nice work!

Yes, the reason for that is when I use a skybox to create light from there it sort of causes little white pixels to appear all over the map, I'll try using black boxes and see if that works though.

Just use halo billboards to create the shiny effect at holes! So you don't need any skyboxes in places like that

Ah, all right then, twas a good map, one of the best I've played in a long time. I only had problems with areas where it was designed so that we were supposed to die...

Spoiler below!
Such as with the monster behind the painting, or the one that seemed to drop out of the air (it looked that way on my screen) in the gallery. And the one that popped out of the door in the crooked room. The carpet fall was ingenious, I freaking hate water lurkers =p

Those have been heavily tested, the painting monster is easy to escape, the attic monster(the one that drops) on the other hand always gets a hit on me - also the Castle Gardens monster does this too, but they are definetly possible to escape, the important part is did they scare you? I tried to hide them in odd places.

This is really embarrassing but I can't figure out what to do on the second map. I found the malfunctioning lever of course, some tinderboxes and a note - but that's it. No key for the door, no insight into the lever mechanism. What am i missing?
