Hey there, I will give it a try today and tonight when I can.


I had a little time to play before I had to leave, here are a few things I felt could be written a little bit better.


Description
Orginial

SpoilerShow

Many rumors circulate about Orwak prison.
It's long isolation reinforces all of its existing myths.
The latest say a terrible tragedy has occurred,
forcing the abandonment of its guardians
and the deaths of its captives.
Other rumors say it is built on ancient catacombs
and the dead still roam her halls, hunting intruders.
The oldest stories about Orwak have long been forgotten,
but only a truly sick mind could speak them without trembling.

My Version[/b

SpoilerShow

Many tales have been told about Orwak prison, which due to its isolation is shrouded in mystery. As of late it is said a terrible tragedy has occurred which forced the guardians to flee and leave the captives to die. Others believe it was built upon ancient catacombs and that the restless dead still roam the silent halls. The oldest tales of Orwak have been long forgotten. Only a truly sick mind could speak them without trembling.

Best of luck!


Cinematic part 2
my version (minor change)

SpoilerShow

Unfortunately, it is here that you have been sentenced. With blood on your hands, you know you have to pay. In the empire capital punishment is carried out in Orwak Prison, in which one will never escape, where one will stay forever.

Cinematic part 3
Original

SpoilerShow

Nobody will escort you, The only way is a simple hole, A well that leads to nowhere and announces the end of everything. They throw away now, what we want to forget forever. And what we want today, is simply to erase you.

My version

SpoilerShow

“Nobody will escort you The only entrance to Orwak is a dark and foreboding hole. The fetid stench of decay rises form the unknown depths, beckoning you to join it. It is here they discard those who they wish to forget, and whom they wish to forget today, is you...”

[Damonya]

If you want I can give you all my text in a separate file .txt

I'm sorry for this long pause, personal duty forced me to abandon this project along the way. Especially as, since the 0.03 version, there is had many bugs including a major preventing squarely to go further than the beginning of level 3. Yet I have spent long hours to build, polish up, correct and even translated into English (being french initially) this mod.

I don't know if there's still a lot of people on Grimrock, but I'm back and I plan to finish this mod.

The 0.04 version is approaching. I have currently fixed many bugs.

Good to have you back and yes, there's plenty of us out here.

Looking forward to .04

Hello everyone. And here is the 0.04 alpha version with many bugs fixed. Not knowing whether I could continue to add further levels (time will tell), it is a final version, suitable for opening a beta. So I put an end, and I will mainly focus on possible corrections to existing levels, but nothing prevents me to add, in the future, additional levels to prolong the experience. But having been away for several months I did not feel like making the same mistake and take the risk of leaving a sloppy version with bugs and unfinished.

So is there volunteers testers? Especially for English.

[leewroy]

Well, english is not my main language, but I'm willing to test your module. Actually I was just waiting for something "new" to play

[Damonya]

You're welcome.


some numbers on the mod:
- Only 3 levels, but I use all the space available per level (it matches the first 6 levels of the main games).
- 89 secrets to find (with many mini-puzzles)
- 55 main puzzles
- Character progression, level 1-9 with associated equipment
- 15 new monsters with a specific IA
