Muhahahaha, if you won't build no new traps for me, maybe
No, just kidding. Thought there would be more changes.

i haven't changed much, but i'm now starting to plan my next house and it will take some time. i want to try another approach, i want to try design different traps but with the same exact size, so that they may be switched, reversed, substituted, modified, and so on without modifying the general layout. The idea is to make it so that every trap has multiple exit and solutions, each one denying the others, thus forcing you to follow a single random "solutions path" without getting any hint on vault location.
I think it's a good plan, but i really don't know how much it will take to finish the project.

God dammit mala what is the secret to that place? ive tried 2 of those doors which are not supposed to open and the third one is? what sorcery is this?

before thinking about the doors, you should ask yourself... "am i sure i've got everything right till that point?" "am i missing something?" look closer, everything is there for a reason

i will pay you with beef jerky !

It's not up. Suicided to get another 2k, because there was a 2k starter house on the list and I needed a crowbar

No i agree it's a great idea I was just a little bit put off by "there is no hope" sound of that short curt reply.

Hi JAAM nice to meet you, glad you're enjoying the game.  Back in the day it was truly marvelous.

I myself wish there was hope too, and I have for some time.  Way back then when numbers were dropping a little bit and gameplay dynamics were changing, I too felt there were a lot of people who would like the game, if only they would hear about it.  Several times myself and others suggested or tried to do some grassroots community advertising stuff, or getting the word out so to speak, but it never really came together.  Or often my feeling was that people would talk a lot, but never unite under one banner, wouldn't do what they said, or simply, posts got bogged down a lot with bitching, complaining and non-sequiturs.  Maybe that sounds cynical but that was my personal feeling.

The only thing that currently crosses my mind is starting a private server with all the original default rules and settings.  Then each person who wanted to play on it would simply "agree" to only ever use a single account out of respect for the desired "rules" and community gameplay dynamics.  Then all the participants doing outreach and contacted old players who want to get in on it.  That's about all I've got.

Wait for Terminal Heist.

well dang that seems a bit close minded...

I was wondering some things on how we could get some new players in here too, Perhaps some form of advertisement or general awareness.

I know a lot of people would like this game, if they just knew about it.

Well I am biased, but I do believe Terminal Heist is the best shot at a return to TCD like glory days. I am planning to advertise Terminal Heist, ban dual account users, and run real money contests....  My goal with Terminal Heist is to recreate the glory days of TCD, all with the benefit of being able to play on your cell phone as well.  I'm also getting rid of random names in most cases.

I cracked his house a while back, and could brute force it cheaply now, but the payoff is not really worth the effort for me and im playing it safe now.

Wasnt me......
