Progress Log for Dr Tall Land

Yes yes I know. I will be the first to admit that most of my levels do not use up all of their available space. If OBW's levels use every last drop of space, then it is quite possible that they are bigger than my set is. However, to my own credit there are a few pretty huge levels in my set. Some of the smallest levels actually turned out to be the hardest, there's one that you end up playing three times unless you know exactly what to do (ie you've played my set before) and even then you have to play it twice. I hope that players of my set will wade through the smaller beginning levels to get to the good stuff at the end. (I also tried to make Dr Tall Land start of easy so a non-expert Ferazel player could at least get to level 9)

(Status)-Upgraded to Alpha Version 0.1.6 upon extermination of these bugs*

*"These" bugs being all the ones I either stopped to fix along the way because they were so heinous or the ones I remembered afterwards. There are still many bugs out there I'm sure...I'm going to take a rest before I sacrfice myself again.

Dr. Tall says: Taller is Better

Damn! You have so much time to do all this...

-Barrin, progress report

I have no updates, maybe because I haven't been doing anything with Ferazel. I've been playing too much Starcraft. Don't worry though, Dr Tall Land is not scrapped or anything. I am only making this post to keep my topic from being purged. I want to put this progress log in the version history of my final release.
--------------------
No updates since last post

Can anyone tell me why there are more bugs this time than there were before?? I keep running into fatal bugs and I've never been able to actually play every single level. This time it was a because a teleporter's target was not set.... :frown:

Running on fumes I managed to finish another run through my game....the saved game file I was running off of was "Dr Tall Land.mod.mod.mod.mod.m" I had to give myself a total of 1 Algernon Shard, 4 Rez Necklaces, a silver key, a platinum key, and something else that I don't remember.
---------------------
(Status)-Finished 2nd Conclusive Alpha Test
(Report)-I hate bugs, espically the kinds that fly through walls. Ben...why in the h*ll can insect swarms pass through walls????
(Status)-Upgraded to Alpha Version 0.1.7

------------------
Dr. Tall says: Taller is Better

I am beginning to hate my life of testing....why why why did I have to mispell "sergeant" in about 30 conversations?!?!?!
----------------

(Report)-Its as bad as you think.
(Status)-Upgraded to Alpha Version 0.1.8 upon removal of more bugs

------------------
Dr. Tall says: Taller is Better

In a cold sweat last night, I woke up and realized... I had completely forgotten about Ferazel's Wand. Unreal Tournament had taken over! Now I'm going back into the salt mines....shudder...must read all 90 conversations and all 47 signs....aHHHHHHHH

Thanks for reminding me. I'll fix that right now...

That means your e-mail address is invalid which makes no sense...let me know if you didn't get the e-mail.
