DESCRIPTION:
Many rumors circulate about Orwak prison.
Its long isolation reinforces all of its existing myths.
The latest say a terrible tragedy has occurred,
forcing the abandonment of its guardians
and the deaths of its captives.
Other rumors say it is built on ancient catacombs
and the dead still roam her halls, hunting intruders.
The oldest stories about Orwak have long been forgotten,
but only a truly sick mind could speak them without trembling.

PRESENTATION :
The 0.04 version is practically a beta version, with an end and a priori without major bugs (however, need testers and external review). I think the mod is complete in outline, although nothing prevents me to add more levels in the future.
Are currently built and tested the level 1, 2 and 3. These 3 levels are in terms of playtime, about first 6 levels of the original games, an increase (and leveling items, monsters) similar to the original games level 1 to about 9. Playtime = average about 6-9 hours.
Although I have traveled far and wide in my dungeon, I still search the collaboration of some serious testers to verify that everything is perfect.
Now this mod is also translated in a correct English (A big thank you to Spiderfighter for all English corrections)

LEVEL 1:
As I said this level is 2-3 times denser than the original games:
- About fifteen great puzzles (+ other smaller, nested or complementary)
- Almost forty secrets to find
- About fifteen notes and scrolls telling the story
- 1 cinematic intro

LEVEL 2:
More denser than the original games:
- About fifteen great puzzles (+ other smaller nested or complementary)
- Almost thirty secrets to find
- About ten notes and scrolls telling the story

LEVEL 3:
Bigger, stronger, more beautiful, more frightening than the previous levels
- About 20 great puzzles (+ all the mini-puzzles)
- About 25 secrets to find
- Less text but more animated and more soundtrack

VERSION ALPHA 0.03 - 03 Mai 2013
- Niveau 1 : terminé et testé. Pour un joueur de niveau 1 à 5
- Niveau 2 : terminé et testé. Pour un joueur de niveau 5 à 7
- Niveau 3 : terminé (en cours de test). Pour un joueur de niveau 7 à 9

DESCRIPTION :
Nombreuses sont les rumeurs circulant sur la prison d'Orwak.
Les plus modernes affirment qu'un terrible drame y aurait eu lieu,
provoquant la fuite des gardiens et la mort de tous les captifs.
Pour d'autres, ce donjon perdu au milieu des montagnes,
serait construit sur d'anciennes et sinistres catacombes,
et nombre de cadavres hanteraient encore les lieux afin d'en chasser les intrus.
Mais seul un esprit malade serait capable de vous conter ces plus anciens mythes sans trembler.

PRESENTATION :
La version 0.04 est pratiquement une version beta, avec une fin et à priori sans bugs majeurs (besoin de testeurs et d'avis extérieurs cependant). Je considère que le mod est terminé dans les grandes lignes, même si rien ne m'empêche d'ajouter encore quelques niveaux dans le futur.
Actuellement sont construits et testés le niveau 1, 2 et 3. Ces 3 niveaux représentent en terme de temps de jeux, les 6 premiers niveaux du jeux d'origine, soit une progression (leveling + item) similaire au jeux d'origine de niveau 1 à 9 environ. Temps de jeux moyen = environ 6 à 9 heures.
J'ai beau avoir parcouru de long en large mon donjon, je recherche quand même la collaboration de quelques testeurs sérieux supplémentaires pour vérifier que tout est bien parfait.
Le jeux reste de base en anglais, mais tout mon donjon est en français. C'est à dire que seul ce qui concerne l'inventaire (description des items) et la fiche du personnage restent en anglais. Toute l'histoire et ce qui peut être modifié via éditeur est en français. La difficulté a été de se passer des accents. (vive le dictionnaire des synonymes). Par exemple vous remarquerez qu'il n'y aucun accent dans la description du mod plus haut. (Merci à Thide pour toutes ces corrections en Français).


NIVEAU 1 :
Comme je le disais ce niveau est 2 à 3 fois plus dense que le jeux d'origine :
- une 15aine de grandes énigmes (+ d'autres plus petites, imbriqués ou complémentaires)
- une 40aine de secrets à trouver
- une 15aine de notes et parchemins racontant l'histoire (en FR).
- 1 cinématique d'intro (en FR)

NIVEAU 2 :
Plus dense que le jeux d'origine :
- une 15aines de grandes énigmes (+ d'autres plus petites, imbriqués ou complémentaires)
- une 30aines de secrets à trouver
- une 10aine de notes et parchemins racontant l'histoire (en FR)

NIVEAU 3 :
Plus grand, plus fort, plus beau, plus effrayant que les niveaux précédents
- Une 20aines de grandes énigmes (+ tous les mini-puzzles)
- Environ 25 secrets à trouver
- Moins de textes mais bien plus animés et d'ambiances sonores

DamonYa, I volonteer.

PM sent.

[Drakkan]

I love french language, even when I do not understand it : )) so sorry, will not play this for now. ALso I suggest you to make at least introduction here in english, because I guarantee you, that majority people do not understand it.

[Damonya]

I know, but it's easier for me to build it in French and then after translated into English, rather than opposite. When I'd finished, or at least more advanced, I will translate in English. Juggle two versions at the same time, too complicated.

But if you like challenges and role play, you can imagine that you are a foreigner and fell into Orwak unable to translate the runes and various scroll.

An approximative translate:

Many rumors circulating about Orwak prison.
Its long isolation enhances all existing myths.
The latest say a terrible tragedy would have occurred,
forcing the abandonment of his keeper and captives died.
Others say it is built on ancient catacombs,
and the dead still haunt her places to hunt intruders.
The oldest stories are long Orwak omitted
and only a truly sick mind could tell without trembling.

Thide, I'm contacting you

[Damonya]

I am happy to announce that I am now working at the same time an English version of my mod.

So I'm looking for English speaking testers and able to correct my English on my mod. I need your help to test my mod in English. Thanks.

I put all the text via script so I can easily juggle at the same time an English version or French.

PS: I edit the topic of the beginning too: Now it is written in English

[Damonya]

I point out this because I don't know if I was very clear.

My mod is already translate in English. I'm just looking for a tester, only to correct any potential misspellings or conjugation. As English is not my native language, it's possible.

I already have someone else to test the gameplay of my mod. Also, Thank you to Thide who helps me a lot.

[edemskicz]

I am here and I do not know how to go

If you activate the 2 levers, you have to go back just a little behind, near the cells. A door (portcullis) just opened: 1 cell to the east, and 2 cells to the south from your position.

Otherwise a new tester volunteered for clean my English translation. Thank you to spiderfighter.

And I will not be available for a week from March 23 to 31. The next version (0.02) will be available in early April.

[edemskicz]

Thanks so much! But much farther I got. (google translate )

Yes this puzzle is difficult if you can't translate the text, because the entire solution is included in the notes. In addition, my english translation is not yet very clean (this is in progress). But the solution is on the map. All alcoves you have open were a trap. In addition, this monsters earns you no XP, because you don't find the solution. In notes, the key words are: map and number. And in a note it says the number corresponds to one button, to press a number of times. Which number you see in the map. There are also other visual clues in the room, so you can found the solution without note, but it is more difficult (look the light of the room, and the texture walls). In any case, press all the buttons higgledy-piggledy was not the solution, as soon as you make a mistake, the counter resets to zero, and you have a no xp monster. But understand, why the monsters spawn and in what circumstances, can also put you on the road: This is the solution I try and I see. If you can't find I will give you the complete solution. This may be my fault, bad English translation. I think I wrote "figure" instead of "number" in the note. Very sorry.

Hope that you find fun with the mod, anyway.
