MACSHIFT'S PROFILE

Thank you for playing my game and giving such thorough feedback!

You're right, I did make the house into one big map. I was having difficulty getting the monster to continue the chase properly when I had all the rooms separated, so I used the parallax feature and an event with a giant sprite that changes its image to cover the rest of the house, depending on which room the player goes in. (Still not sure that was the best way, though, and I had to do a little sneaky teleporting of the monster when its pathfinding didn't work so well!) In any case, I'm glad it came together well enough.

I agree the music/sound was lackluster. I wasn't confident about my ability to make the right music choices, but maybe just doing my best and picking something would be better than avoiding it, as I've largely been doing so far. I have enjoyed creating my own sounds though--including the phone voice! I'm looking forward to developing both of these skills in my future games.

I'm so glad to see you got the stairwell and smoke inhalation deaths! Adding in "bonus" deaths is something I get a kick out of. I always look for stuff like that in games I play, but I wasn't sure if that was just me.

Finally, that bug you found is a nasty one! I'll definitely go in and fix that.

Thanks again for playing, and thank you for the encouragement!

Thanks for taking an interest, and feel free to let me know what you think!

So bummed to hear this. Would you mind telling me what your OS is and what error message you got?
