[WIP] Flight of the Black Crow

Post by Ixnatifual »

UPDATE: No longer looking for testers.

I'm looking for some testers to make a run or two through my dungeon. I've tested it myself extensively, and I'm not currently aware of any gamebreakers.

What I'm looking for in feedback is primarily:
- Any bugs you come upon. Pits that lead nowhere, crashes and so forth.
- Feedback on the individual puzzles. Are they logical enough compared to the default Legend of Grimrock dungeon? Are the clues good enough?
- Itemization. Was a certain reagent lacking? A piece of armor?
- Difficulty compared to the default Legend of Grimrock dungeon. (I don't mind if it's a bit harder)
- Is there enough food?

Here's a few notes on the dungeon itself:
- You can't cast a spell until you find a scroll. Put a scroll in your inventory and right-click it to learn the spell.
- The dungeon consists of a mix of combat and puzzles.
- The dungeon is designed for a party of fresh level 1 characters.
- Combat is tougher than the default Legend of Grimrock dungeon.
- It's big.

Here's a few screenshots:

Cool, I've sent you a PM. And feel free to ask if you become completely stuck at a puzzle.

I put a dropbox link in the OP. You may need more than 1½ days, though. Let me know if you get stuck anywhere.

I have the attention span of a maggot and I spend much time running around trying to figure out what to do next. Now I'm stuck, again.

Xol Bao Kor.
The X was easy enough to figure out. K took me awhile, but B?

First I'll give you a hint without giving you the whole solution:

I wouldn't spend too much time on Bao Kor. After all, only the beginning is important.
If that's not enough, here's the full solution:

The solution is the first letter in each of the three sentences. So you need to make an H, an X and a T. (You probably triggered the H in an effort to make a K)
I think my mod is perhaps a little heavy on the puzzle side, so I hope they're not too difficult or frustrating. I was initially a bit worried there weren't enough puzzles, so I probably overcompensated a bit. Level 4 in particular is very puzzly, but it's not the only level.

I usually like puzzles, but I'm having a hard time with yours. The clues don't help me much either. IDK why.
Now I'm stuck again... :oops:
