Title: Corridors of Time
Map name: KoridoriVremen
Map type: Scenario
Two-level map: yes
Number of players: 1
Size: Impossible
Map author: Magician_illusion

Map description: The scenario is made in the style of King's Bounty. No messing around with the castle, just go forward – to meet adventures, while recruiting troops and completing quests. This is my first scenario, only 7,000 lines of code. You will be able to visit incredible locations and experience new gameplay. The scenario may seem easy to some, difficult to others, but it will definitely not leave anyone indifferent. Since the map size is impossible, it may crash; make more separate saves.

Installation: put the map in the maps folder, the music in the music folder.

I got to this point, a small cutscene played, and then everything froze. Or do I need to go left first?Attachment 72148

The plot and dialogues are entirely based on the movie "Aliens" by Poire - that's really cool, but unfortunately, while watching the film, you start to get bored because you know what will happen in advance.
And yes, before I describe my first impressions, I want to say that for the first map – it’s 10/10.
The design is weak, the gameplay is corridor-like with quite interesting encounters, but still corridor-like. There are no restrictions on the death of story characters in the game, so even the death of the main character does not end the game. What impressed me was the videos (all except the very first one)! They were made with soul, there are many interesting solutions, and overall – I continue to play through the map just for them, although there seem to be fewer of them after Beatrice.

A very big gameplay drawback is short dialogues on the map with flying messages that cannot be skipped. It would have been better to make them as simple AdvMapDialogs, which are no worse and even support effects and animations.

By the way, what amused me was the description of the map in the tasks ("Custom map").

Design: 7/10
Plot: 10/10, but the score goes to Jean Marie Poire
Cutscenes: 10/10
Scripts: 6/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Difficulty: 1/10
Total: 7/10.

Perhaps the rating will change after a complete playthrough, but for now, it's like this

This is how it should be.

Or should I go left first?

First, you need to remove all modified maps from the maps folder, remove mods that affect the game mechanics from the usermods folder, and create a new profile, as the old one might be corrupted by mods. Only then should you start playing.

Frankly, the houses are no longer important.

This is how it should be.
