Taken from the batch-file:

echo "################################################################################"

echo "# THE METEOR TWO DREAM EMULATOR - PRE-RELEASE 1 #"

echo "################################################################################"

echo " I've been working on M2DE after getting the idea from LSD: Dream emulator "

echo " videos from youtube. There is no aim or goal to this modification other than "

echo " exploration. There are no enemies (well, there might be if you look hard "

echo " enough) and there is only one level."

echo " "

echo " When you start the game, you start in your bedroom. Although you stand, you "

echo " weightless. Next to you lies your body - deep asleep. "

echo " "

echo " Each game lasts from three to five minutes. Simply start a single-player game."

echo " "

echo " For those of you who know how to, please, do not look at the script file nor "

echo " map in the editor unless you have played the game a dozen or more times. "

echo " "

echo " THIS IS A TESTING RELEASE - please report all bugs "

echo " "

echo " Press any key to start the game..."


Also note the mod was entirely created under Linux (with the exception of a few textures I had discarded some time ago)

Still a big work in progress!

Known bugs:
* You may start on a big, empty island that looks like a rotten banana cross-section. Just re-load the map and try again - I'm still working on that one.
* Small delay when crossing the bridge in the Violence District (island full of roads). This is unavoidable.
* Map timelimit not yet set - I forgot to do so before zipping. Expect in next release

Interesting Features:
* A bridge that you can both go under and over
* Random possible events
* Multiple locations
* No weaponry

Todo:
* Tasks that can be performed for outcomes (to be included)
* Make a random map time-limit
* Link all of the islands together with multiple teleporters
* Replace current music with something more peaceful.
* Replace many of the sound effects (menu clicking, messageboxes etc) with blank
* Add a tonnes more content to three or more islands
* Add many more units
* Add short animations that can be triggered before quitting the dream
* Allow dreams to end abruptly by you getting killed
* Add player to another team other than 'Dream' so that he can't get objects to follow him
* Replace as many M2 textures with new ones so that the mod can be independent.

Wishlist:
* Music that suits the game better
* Truck and people sprites/images

Uploading now offsite - you'll have to wait a few minutes :p

This is (pre) release 1 - very basic and lacking much depth or value other than to show you some of what to expect. It's going to get a lot more interactive and fun before reaching proper versions.

Remember - unless you have seen the dragon, you haven't seen it all, so don't touch the editor!

I'd attempt to hack the executable to remove/disable/screw-up the minimap and map editor but after installing on this box I properly read the license agreement.

You may NOT:

this is very weird.
I think silence is the best soundtrack.

Or maybe a really weird mod that plays lil bits of random music ever few minutes.

@me_mantis[keens]

Good idea for the Music

@PetiX
Stuck? There is no aim. The fact you say you are stuck shows the map needs much more content!

That's why I turn off the music in Meteor :p (or usually I play my own external playlist in the background)
