Oblivion: Drops Of Wine

[zeexto]

I know some of you might've moved on, but I have to reply to everyone.

@Kitsuna020
Thank you, and yes I had to provide a lot of collectible stuff to make the mod rewarding for the exploration effort.
The lantern was tricky, But you should consider yourself lucky for finding it, some never even found it.
The key in the “blood room” opens the prison which is outside the mansion… I’m guessing you skipped it by force opening the door to the right... right?!
The mattress was a bit glitchy but it was a very good puzzle to abandon.
Wasn't there a monster in the “underground tunnel” ?
Yep I saw that on youtube someone got through the steel/walls… but this means you waited around instead of running as soon as entering the room, so the timer ended before you leave the maze and initiated speedy mode.
Did you know that the jumps was much harder but at the last moment I decided to make all of it closer to each other, just before uploading :D
I’m sorry for the delay, and thank you very much for playing :)

@blakeman909
Nice guide… Glad you liked it, and thanks for playing :D

@BeeKayK
Thanks, but you missed the prison which is outside the mansion, and that means you entered the room with the “mattress room” from the wrong way.
I’m glad you liked it but I’m not sure if I’m going to finish it.
But thanks for your advices anyway, and thanks for playing :)

Thanks a lot, and I think that you as well didn't use the prison key, this is the reason of getting a lot of bad reviews, but it’s kind of my fault… I should've just locked the mattress room.
And thanks for playing :)

It has been over a year… and It was so much fun… creating this map exactly the way I like, watching my friends reactions, uploading and getting reviews, and discussing about the mod.

Everyone at Frictional Games Forums was so nice and helpful.
And the best part is that I almost kept my record of 9.1 rating at moddb until two people gave me two “similar” reviews of a 2/10 at the same day and then another person gave me a 1/10 rating.
“improve your mapping” was the review for a 1 year old mod. I was furious.

Also some people complained about the mod being buggy, but the reason is forcing the door to the right open, I don’t know how some people can do it… it was impossible on my pc!

Opening this door makes you skip 2 or 3 puzzles (including prison and storage rooms) and the wall looks weird from the inside, because you weren’t supposed to look at it from behind.

Anyway, at the beginning of making this mod I didn’t know anything about scripting everything was new to me. But I liked the freedom of making whatever I want and when I saw something interesting is starting to take shape I decided to share it.

But I didn’t just wrap everything up… I started to make a story and then started to adjust it according to the map editors limits, and started making the notes (and to write one of the notes I had to read a couple of articles about time travel) and then started making the chasing part which was a nightmare! (to make one of the jumps I used Pythagoras law) and if you make a perfect run all the jumps will be synchronized with the music. And then the holiday was over and I was back to study plus work (occasionally).

And one day I said to myself I could split the story into four pieces and then I can upload the part I completed, instead of keeping everything on-hold.

And that was the birth of my first and last mod ever made by me.
And after that I kept polishing the second part until it was ready for application, but whenever I think about the time and effort that lead to creating the first part… I just lose the mood for it.

And now it feels impossible to make…
But since the start I knew it was going to be one story, it’s just a shame that I didn’t even complete it.

So, that was just a story that I felt like I need to tell. I was planning on posting it in the 1st of February, but I was so busy.

Thanks for everyone who played this mod. And forgive me for not completing it, but who knows… maybe I will someday.
