@MyOwnMusician: Thanks! Given the 48 hour time limit for this contest, I needed to keep the scope pretty focused. I would have liked to incorporate more puzzles (or any puzzles? haha) but I ran out of time. I'm glad you liked it.

The Escape Simulator Room Editor now includes the ability to import custom 3D models. The auditorium and audience members in my room, along with the podium, curtains, and Bastet cat are all imported 3D models which saved me a ton of time. If you're interested, Sketchfab is a great source for free models.

Very simple and straightforward, as well as funny. I found myself wondering how you built the audience and theater. I know next to nothing about building assets, but I am trying to figure out the mechanics of this games room builder.

@Jinshushei: Thanks! I just started a new room this week. It's very different from my other rooms, but I'm excited about it. Now I just need to put in another 500 hours give or take haha.

I liked this a lot lol. I hope you stick around because your rooms are very entertaining.

@SupremeLordEnder: Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I spent way longer than necessary on the speech at the end, but I was having fun with it. :D

Lovely work! Short and sweet, pretty funny, and I loved hearing that quick Ozymandias quote. The fact that you did just read the actual wikipedia article is also pretty funny, nice job!

@Chamallove: Thanks! I am looking forward to checking out your new Holy Grail room. :)

Well done ! "Extra Franch" is indeed the way I felt with the room. (Incredible scene behind the curtains !)

@Viability (Viable): Thanks so much! I tried to make up for the lack of puzzles with extra Franch. :D

Hahahahaha this was amazing! / 10

@Asahi: Thank you! I just attempted to translate the script into French for you (via Google Translate) and sent you a DM. :) I enjoyed playing your Toilet Escape contest room too!

I really enjoyed playing this room and I liked the little story =D! Although my level in English did not allow me to properly appreciate the narration.

<3

@Zesty Mordant: Thanks so much! I wish you would have entered too, but I can't wait to check out The Devilish Diorama 2.

Pinch me! Is this a new Franch room I see?

My jaw was on the floor the whole time. This room is so funny and so very Franch. I have no idea how or why you came up this scenario, this feels like a fever dream, I love it! The writing and your VO is impeccable as always. Super impressive you made this in 48 hours.

Best of luck with the contest!

@ezKill42: Thanks for reporting back! I'm glad the issue is fixed for you now. I removed the Activators controlling the red cloth swaps, and changed this so the swaps animate into position instead. This seems to have solved everything from blowing up when the room loads (which was also happening to me in the published version unless I lowered my graphics settings, but not in the room editor for some reason which is why I didn't catch it earlier).

Yes, I was definitely a Bastet case haha. Slowly recovering, but not quite there yet!

Much better! Whatever you did it fixed my issue. Much more enjoyable and interesting now that everything doesn't happen all at once & one move doesn't end the room Since Duc mentioned it, I too listened to the entire ending speech. Whew, I'll bet you were a Bastet case when you finished that! Nice job & thanx..good luck

@Duc: Thanks for checking out my contest room! I am looking forward to playing The Projectionist sometime this week. Congrats on racing up the Weekly Spotlight list so quickly! :D

I did all the voice over work in my contest room. I managed to get everything built other than audio + sound logic before the final day of the contest, which let me focus on the audio yesterday. I had fun writing the script (quickly! haha) and then recording everything. Editing isn't my favorite, but necessary.

That's funny you listened to the entire speech at the end - that was the last thing I did and it actually took a few hours of recording + editing, but hey...I learned a lot about Bastet lol.

It occurred to me after the fact I could have integrated the applause at the end, and any other sound effects into the voiceover recording itself. I might do that at some point for fun, but not until after the contest judging since my room is locked down (other than bug fixing) at this point.

@ezKill42: Thanks for the feedback! Due to the 48 hour contest time limit, I did not have a chance to do as much bug testing as I would have liked.

I believe the bug you experienced is due to Activators + desync. I attempted to avoid this by not using any Toggles for Activators, but it can still happen and is out of my control, other than resorting to non Activator solutions using swaps but those can fail for other reasons.

I believe Pine (the developer) attempted to fix Activators + desync in the latest Open Beta, but I am not sure when they plan to release it.

Shout out to Winnie. Yes we listened to the entire Bastet Cat speech. Was this your charming voice by any chance? Had a good laugh playing this - great work!

Appears to be broken. After the 'Big Reveal' shroud appears on the pedestal - if you pick it up the room ends. And it seems you need to build your cat on the pedestal, which you can't do with the shroud in the way. Never got to complete the ToDo list.
