Halloween Zone
Kvetch — Tue, 10/25/2011 - 13:26
Solorn Del'Vante was a mad man - in quite a few senses of the word. His family was once the piller of society around the large 3 story mansion they owned and it seems the stress of living up to his family name was quite astounding as it drove him insane. At least, hopefully he was insane as no sane person should do what it is the villagers accused him of doing - killing many, perhaps even hundreds, of people in his quest to find out what made them tick. No one found their bodies for proof, but proof was not needed to carry out justice. It is said they hung him from the wrought-iron sign that lead from the mansion to the small family cemetery. When they came back to pull him down, his body was already gone. Who took it and what they did with it was never know.
Changes to the Halloween zone this year are:
1) The mansion is 3 stories tall instead of 2.
2) There is the small family cemetery, but there is also a larger graveyard.
3) There are a couple of buildings outside the house - a couple of which you can get to without even entering the house.
There is still apple bobbing that can be found which gets you points to use to buy a few items. Any suggestions to more items would be appreciated.

quests
Kvetch — Sun, 10/30/2011 - 03:32I have been asked how many quests are in the Halloween zone. Off the top of my head, including the long, drawn out billiard ball quest, there are 5 (at least one of which isn't really stated anywhere its just something you can do if you think about it). If there are more, I've forgotten about them. Anyone that has ideas for more quests in this zone, feel free to note them to me. Your name will be posted on the plaque on the haunted house if your idea is implemented.
It rocks!
Loria — Sat, 10/29/2011 - 08:23Fantastic zone! You really did a great job. The apple bobbing is fun. The quests are interesting. The characters are awesome. The scripting is awesome. The details you added to each room are amazing. You just did a great job. You are talented.
The only suggestion I can make is to be sure all objects have a description and keyword. You probably had so much going on that you didn't get the chance to look at every single detail, especially if it was a detail that didn't pertain to a quest, but there are a few things here and there that cannot be looked at, though it seems it ought to be. For instance, the tombstone with the roses crawling up on it, the casket in the hole of the fallen tree, etc. Those are the ones that come to mind for now. (I allow for the fact that I simply missed an obvious clue, as I am known to do more often than I like to admit)
But you did great. I am having a lot of fun exploring around in your creation. :)
descriptions

When you see objects that don't have descriptions in my zones, feel free to note them to me (perferably writing them down and sending me a list of them instead of just one at a time, but one at a time is doable too, just my messages fill up faster that way). I tend to try to make everything that is an object in a room have a descripton whether or not it's a real object (love extra descriptions in rooms). The casket in the hole of the fallen tree was supposed to have a description - in fact if I'd had given myself enough time, I was going to have it lead to more fun - but in the hurry at the end in trying to get the zone in, that was one of the things I missed going back to. The tombstone with the roses growing on it was another idea that was planted, but in the end I figured that was enough description, but you're right, it should have had more. Thank you for your comments. :)
