Guys,

I've nearly finished The Maze. As the name suggests, this is simply a Maze, with a few things to find, and three riddles guarding the short-cut. I wish you luck in playing it.

The Maze should be complete in a couple of days, but I'm calling for Beta-Testers now, cause I don't think that there'll be very many people wanting to test this. I might see what the BoAC's Beta-Testing thing does... I don't know.

The custom Graphics only work for WIN, but they aren't really important for the game.

Anyway, If you want to be a tester when it's out (I'm on the finish at the moment), please give this information:

NAME -:-
PLATFORM/OS -:-
EMAIL -:-
PRIOR TESTING EXPERIENCE -:-
ARE YOU IMBAN OR ALORAEL -:-
DO YOU LIKE PUZZLES AND MAZES -:-

If you don't want to freely give this information, just PM me your reply.

Thanks!

Well,

Surprising ammount of Testers so far. I though there would be a lot less of you. Anyway, as I posted last night, I'm working on the Maze's finish town, which is a Small town, and shouldn't take more than an hour or two.

Okay, just thought I'd post that. I'll get to work on it after school. See you.

You've tried it out already, but I'll send you the fully done version when it's ready. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow. Anyway, School's just about to end, So I'm going home, and will sort out my stuff then.

EDIT: I'm home now, and working hard at it. I've got the Portal working perfectly now, and started to work on Dialog (for the finish). Should be there soon.

- Archmagi Micael

So, four testers = WOW! GOOD AMMOUNT!

Okay. I'll have to make another "Hero" for you. These heroes are at the end of the scenario, and will say what you have said, in reply to certain questions I will ask you.

The questions will be fairly simple, such as:

What do you think of the Maze?
Did you like it?

etc...

- Archmagi Micael

P.S. I'm posting from school, so I can't work on The Maze here, but I'll continue when I get home later.

Did TM ask about this? I only asked cause I know that you like giving me EVIL reports. :D

Okay, make another hero for macho boy here...

Anyway, The Maze is taking slightly longer than expected. But it's on the final pieces of script here. Thanks to all testers for your patience.

Imban, I've sent it to you again. Please follow the instructions for your dialog scripts and stuff.

Also, if anyone doesn't like their avatar or Scen_Icon picture, please tell me which ones you would like instead, and I will change them.

Thanks, and good Mazing!

P.S. I still want to see what you guys got for teh Random Item selection. I need to know if it worked as well as it should have.

Thanks for showing me that fatal error in the Startup. You were right, they were meant to be Random item calls. I must have made a major mistake...

Anyway, I'll fix that later, if I have time.
