The maze of Lust - FEEDBACK

[janhuubdikstaal]

Thanks for explaining Nezhul.

Hmm, still haven't found the way out yet..

Is there a sequence of directions you should follow? Like "straight-right-straight-right-.." ?

As for any "real" maze where the corridors actually stay in place and is not dynamic in anyway, always choosing right (or always choosing left) will always, eventually, get you there. It can however take time.


Question Nez:

Are all traps considered just a point you go through, then continue the same direction? Or are they considered dead ends, as in you turn around? Or does it vary? In either case, it would be nice if this was made a little more clear in the tease itself

I solved the first section quite nicely by using the advise I gave above, but it's very hard to map as long as the instructions are not too clear at times

I tried this technique already, but somehow it didn't work.
Guess I did something wrong.
I was too frustrated, full of desire, filled to the brink with LUST..

[Nezhul]

Yea, this section is solved by this rule - I didn't want to point it out tho. Well, whatever.
BTW not every maze can be solved like that. And I can asure you this is a mistake I won't ever do again )


As for traps, yes, some of them are in dead ends, some are not. I'll try to make it clearer when I have time.

I cleared the first sector today yaaayh! ^^
I don't want to spoil it, but the end was really frustrating for me! xd

[Nezhul]

yeah? What option did you choose?

[greensleeve1000]

I didn't find the way out yet, I got caught by the "how many times you can edge"---the last edge was too much
Very good tease cause you want to replay it again and again!

[oogal]

Great tease Nezhul - i was stuck in there for ages with your extremely hot little demon.
The traps were really imaginative and well written - nice one!
Looking forward to the sequel!

[lemur]

yep, love that tease it's really one of the best, and I love Lust...



some lil (or big) evil things to do in one of the next teases:

- traps that if you perform too bad place you on random spots (evil)
- traps that rotate you randomly (again if you loose a game or something)

- teleports (make drawing a map really hard)

i.e. punish "bad" performance in the traps
this also gives raise to a lot of fun traps as you can loose them...

oh, and if you want to be especially evil: add a hidden code to the first tease and send people back to the fist tease for some trap

[Nezhul]

All of it was on my mind already, but I'm not going to add it all at once.

Still, I'd like to say that I wouldn't wait for the next part untill the late december, because I'v got exams soon and there's still work to do, so I don't think I will have time.

Off course, you should always remember that if we are talking about ME - then if worst comes to worst you'll never see the second part =)

I chose realistic.. and Lust was actually right about what she said.. :D

Thanks.

When it comes to the "always stick to one direction" approach that works for any maze that is not dynamic (as in don't change as you go), and which does not have any corridors looping back on a previous part of the maze.

In short, add a single loop in your maze and you break that pattern nicely.

On the other hand, it's not a bad thing if people want to do that technique anyway - just make sure to test run the maze and make sure they will go through a good number of traps before making it through

[janmb]

- traps that if you perform too bad place you on random spots (evil)

Now that IS evil

[stonecutter]

I created a partial pdf decision tree and map for the maze. Because we don't know which traps are dead ends or what direction the traps exit at, I created the map and decision tree as though each trap were a dead end knowing that some of them are not.

These are meant for those who have already gone through the maze themselves and simply want to revisit and explore and enjoy all the traps in the maze that they may not have found before. If you are using this just to reach the end, you can, but there won't be near as much enjoyment or fun as being totally lost and wondering the maze with Lust awaiting you at nearly every turn.

Some notes:

• The Goal CAN be reached without walking into a trap
• The Valve CAN be reached without walking into a trap
• The Valve Hint CANNOT be reached without walking through a trap
• There are 13 traps to be reached without previously walking through another trap

For Nezhul:

• I found that I get the same code at the end whether or not I activate the valve. not sure if this is a bug or not.

do you really think that it's good to post a spoiler about a tease here? Delete it if you have any respect to my work.
