Hi everyone! Meow! :3

I'm kind of new, and I just want to know how you create mazes by using links and stuff. Thanks for taking the time to read this! I appreciate it and this would really help me out! :)

Welcome! 3J created a maze on his game, Order of the Midnight Sun, so you could ask him for help.

Ugh! Do not create a maze via links.

They all suck. (no sarcasm) - Especially the one in Midnight Sun!

Seriously, they lose all the good qualities that make them interesting graphically when reduced to left right up down text descriptions.

Please do anything other than an in-game maze.

The maze is the only bad part. Its just a part, not the entire story. The rest is great.

He didn't hate it, he just recognized everyone else hated it and had to concede it wasn't the greatest idea, so he offered a work around for those that had a lot of trouble with it.

If he had actually hated hit he would have just removed it lol.

Yeah, most people enjoy it quite a bit.

Personally I wasn't a big fan of it as a whole.

Yeah, I got stuck in that maze and had to lose a lot of score to get out.

I agree avoid mazes like the plague.. in graphical games tile sliding puzzles are another "don't do"

Its an easy way to make a game longer but I think most people would get bored

If you absolutely must have a maze in a game, then describe it in terms of how long it takes to get through or how hopelessly lost the player gets in it, rather than the left/right/up/down crap.

For example, when they enter the maze, post what they have seen after having been in there an hour and give them a continue option.

The continue option takes them deeper in the maze and yet another continue option that takes them deeper or out. Even something as simple as that will still seem like a pain in the ass to most players (even though they got to go through the maze in 3 easy clicks of the mouse - but trust me it's waaaaaaaay better then twenty random clicks of a mouse!

For an example of such a maze (shameless plug here) - check out the Hedge Maze in http://chooseyourstory.com/story/kill-aman's-mustache   ^v^

Seriously though!
I tried clicking every visible option, afterwards I went through that wormhole, and clicked every visible option again, then I did the same a third time, a fourth, a fifth, until the wormhole decided it was tired of taking me back in time...

A game based sheerly on mazes = Text-Based Superman 64 of CYS. Maybe even worse than my and Bardockwest's two-part series.

1. Draw up a maze that you've envisioned.

2. Lay out plans for the maze to be built in an isolated location or perhaps in an underground area.

3. Make sure you have the materials to build the maze out of something sturdy such as concrete or even steel. It also needs a ceiling. A traditional "hedge maze" will not do.

4. If you can't do all the work yourself, hire some cheap labor such as the unemployed or illegal aliens. Should be easy in today's economy.

5. If you hired workers, only hire the workers for one day then kill them so they can't report anything they've seen.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the maze is complete.

7. Put video cameras and speakers throughout the maze until you're satisfied with the amount.

8. Put traps of your own design in the maze until you're satisfied with the amount. (Presumably you've designed the traps already)

9. Send invitations to your new maze to various young women you've secretly been taking pictures of from your van.

10. If none of them show up (and they most likely won't), capture said girls and take them to the maze location. This should be fairly easy since you've been taking pictures of their activities, their homes and studying their routines ahead of time.

11. Repeat step 10 until you have enough girls to put into the maze.

12. Make an announcement that you will all let them go if they find their way out of your maze, then herd them all in. This may be tricky and you may even have to kill a couple before the rest capitulate and just go in. Of course you could just send them in one at a time every thirty minutes or so which might make handling them easier.

13. Watch them scurry about your maze, desperately trying to find their way out. Every now and then be sure to say something really creepy over the speakers like how each death is bringing you closer to orgasm. (Whether this is true or not, you don't actually have to masturbate unless you really want to)

14.  Go wash your hands and go to sleep when you're tired. You don't really need to worry about any of them escaping since you've got a strong locked metal door at the entrance and never made an exit to the maze in the first place.

15. Repeat steps 13 and 14 until all but one of the girls has died. If they all died while you were asleep, go back to step 9 and try again.

16. For the final girl, tell her that she is the last and that you are so impressed with her survival skills that you really will let her go free if she can make her way back to the entrance.

17. Flood the maze with sleeping gas.

18. After the gas clears enter the maze to pick up the final girl's body. Be careful not to fall afoul of any unused traps!

19. Put your final girl in a special cell and proceed to take care of her. Try not to kill her because you need someone to talk to sometimes and she's proven herself worthy. Eventually she may even resign herself to her fate and not resist you anymore. Then you can be together forever and ever and ever.

20. Clean up the rest of your maze (Again be careful of unused traps) and then go about your normal life until the voices start telling you otherwise.
