So after the demise of the almost finished Stealth Zone 1 we start again - the bug was beyond my finding. It was somewhere - it was hiding away, but could I find it? Noooooooo.

So after several hours I thought "stuff it" I'll build it again and this time I'll do lots more saves and test it after EVERY NEW ROOM and not just at the end of the night.


Moral of this story - do not make loads and loads of ammendments and additions to a finished game in lots and lots of rooms without making notes or saving or testing regulary cos it'll crash and burn and you won't know what you did wrong.

We all learn by our mistakes - this was mine.

Boo Hoo.

indeed, we learn through trial and error

testing your level after almost every little change you made is absolutely nessesairy if you want to save yourself from going bald (that is, if you weren't before) and being put away in an asilum where you get to wear a nice, stylish long-sleeve all the time

if only the Preview Mode of the LE worked in Real Time.....

Peace is but a shadow of death, desperate to forget it's painful past...
Though we hope for promising years, after shedding a thousand tears, yesterday's sorrow constantly nears.
And while the moon still shines blue, by dawn, it will turn scarlet hue.
