"Imprisoned" released

"You, Gallathan the Knight, wake up with your 8 companions in a square room without any door or windows. You don't know who and why imprisoned you here. You can't even recall what had happened before you fell asleep. The only chance for you is to follow some instructions engraved in a stone tablet, which you held in a hand when you awoke. That's how your nightmare begins..."

My new solo/coop map "Imprisoned" is ready to download. You can grab it from The Tain:

You can also check out my trailer which I've already uploaded before, to have a view of how this map looks like:

Having a great time with it already!

I'll get my crew together and we'll try some coop in the next few days. Well-constructed and quite creepy. Thanks for the hard work, gugusm!

Thanks Pompey

NOTE: posted link will direct you to the version 1.1, the previous one had some little bug (or just detail that I changed already), so if you can, grab the newer version. Sorry and thanks

About how long should it take to complete?

I did it in about a week on Timid.

Hehe, about half an hour, but it isn't Mazz style, where you're defending all the time, here you have to move all the time and the gameplay is hmm... crazy I'd say.

_half_an_hour_? I seriously hope you are kidding. I've played it for over an hour and only passed through two of the 'checkpoints' and less than 1/3rd of the cells.

Gugusm is right Vinyl - it took as around 30 - max 45 minutes to beat in coop but when I played it alone (singleplayer mode) it took way longer (on timid btw

) couse I used a lot 1/2 and 1/4 speed and saved after every room - this for sure ate some time.

WHAT? You can SLOW down a game while you are playing it??!?! OMG! U CH337R!

heh. I wasn't going to mention how much of the game I played at 1/4 speed. But now that you mention it, I guess a 1 hour session could be like 20 minutes of elapsed game time.

I played through two rings. Really neat concept. I enjoyed it. A few suggestions:

Modify terrain height for some encounters inside the squares. The flat surfaces can get tiresome along with the repetitive scenery.
Rewrite the narrative and flavor. Looks like this area was the one paid the least attention.
Add more narrative to the in-game environment. Story is good!

More when I get a chance to complete it.

Love the game..... how about allowing Heron knight to pick up
the fallen healing roots. After all are they not the spoils of war.

Lots of fun!

I have been wishing the same thing. That and I've wished more than once that duffs could pick up satchels.
