Great news,
Still I would happily try out some levels already created just for fun. I liked the ORRR2 method where the file in dev was constantly available for testing.
Jgwman: can you send me the current file for just playing (not testing) as i was one of the first ones implelenting the level so I haven't seen much of what has been created since.

I agree, the contributors should have access to the latest build, and can note down issues and bugs they find along the way, so we can fix them before release.
Since my area was the latest to be added in, I think no one except myself have made a run through it, I would welcome some critique and insight from people.

Hey guys,

I wasn't entirely sure if it was OK with everyone if I posted the link publicly rather than on request PM. I'm gonna go ahead and post it here, and if Diarmuid/John object (since AFAIK John wasn't making it public) I'll remove it and PM it individually.

EDIT: will PM. See below

Will be looking to get another modder's room started shortly as well!

I personnaly think it's better to PM it to the designers, after all technically once you have the link anyone on the internet could go and delete/alter the files, and it's especially important to be careful and Version the files so that we have archives - in the ORRR2 and in the ORRR3 already, it has happend so many times that people break other's work while implementing their room, and backtracking to a previous version to understand what happened has been invaluable.

+ it also keeps the surprise/assets until we release them.

I am not overly familiar with Dropbox and didn't actually realize it could be overwritten (by anyone). Will PM instead.

Hey everyone! Here's a bit of an update for the few of you I haven't PM'd

11 rooms remain to be added to the mod. Two of these were never claimed, and so will likely either be given to modders who have already added their room, or cut (I'm just speculating, this is up to John when he returns). One of the others is John's.

Of the remaining 8 rooms, I believe Leki, FeMaiden, oliacym, and lmaoboat have not visited the forums in quite a long time, and are quite possibly no longer interested. If anyone knows otherwise, please let it be known

Akroma no longer has time to complete his room - he had informed John of this previously, but I was unaware. Drakkan is not currently interested in doing his, although mentioned a possibility of adding it later (I'm unsure).

Zo Kath Ra isn't quite ready with his, but is making progress. Isaac is working on his as well when he can.

In any case, it's pretty clear we are going to have some gaps. If any of you guys are possibly interested on working on a second room, or have any alternative suggestions, it's all welcome (though again, this is John's project, and major things will assumedly still be left up to him). I am still glad to provide the mod file on request, so feel free to PM me!

Remaining rooms:
Room 5. akroma222 (NO DEV) - Catacombs (9x9x3) - All Underground.
Room 6. Leki (?) - Town East (12x12x2) - Top Overground. Can be 9x9x3.
Room 9. FeMaiden (?) - Asylum Dungeon (Labs) (9x9x3) - All underground.
Room 11. John Wordsworth - Asylum Dungeon (9x9x3) - All underground.
Room 16. oliacym (?) - Dark Tower (9x9x3) - All Inside.
Room 17. lmaoboat (?) - Dark Tower (9x9x3) - All Inside.
Room 18. [AVAILABLE] - Dark Tower (9x9x3) - All Inside.
Room 20. MINMAY - Dark Tower (9x9x3) - All Inside.
Room 22. Isaac - Forbidden Bog (12x12x2) - Top Overground.
Room 23. Drakkan (NO DEV, possibly?) - Forbidden Bog (12x12x2) - Top Overground.
Room 25. Zo Kath Ra - Forbidden Bog (12x12x2) - Top Overground.

Area Progress:
Graveyard: 1/1
Catacombs: 3/4
Town East: 2/3
Asylum Dungeon (Labs): 1/2
Asylum Dungeon: 1->2/2
Twisted Forest: 3/3
Dark Tower: 1/5
Forbidden Bog: 1->3/4

Notably, my room is the only one that is/foreseeably will be completed in Dark Tower.

Well, since this started, I finished the art assets and code I needed for my room, and it would work fine in the tower. Just a warning, though, it uses the full 3 MB and that's after compression (and after significant butchering of models/textures/music). So you can add me back for 18 or 20 if you want.

Last thing I heard, we were generally on the extra side of space, so using your 3MB will be fine (and you might have room for more). Feel free to PM me whenever you're ready to add your room and I'll send you the link.

Sorry to be a pain, but can you move me from room 18 to room 20? Assuming someone else didn't claim it.

Yep, no problem.
