Diafero has to be told when a new age is ready to be download on Deep Island.

I'll told him :)

It's done!

It will be explained in more details in the PDF document I'm making.

Essentially, I originally shot the adventure using my avatar Annabelle-Sophie (which I always refer to as "Annabelle") back in mid-March 2015 right after the release of Elsewhere.

I took a long break of 1 month & a half during which I didn't return to Elsewhere. When I decided to patch the holes in my first adventure, I took another avatar, Sophie.

It's to make sure that in your heads the two adventures were not just one but two. The decision to do so was taken on purpose.

I wish you a good journey

I appreciate your feedback for Somewhere and Iceworld

Now I will use this moment as an opportunity to precise some ideas in the direction of all explorers who visit my Ages

I want and I need feedback.
Not for compliment even if it is agreable. I know I did my best so...
No, I need feedback to know for example your opinion about:
- storyline/clear, difficult to understand, too much detailed or not...etc
- storyline/way of transmission
- sound & ambience/mechanism, ambient too loud or not or ok
- puzzles/ too much or not, too difficult or too esay or ok
- visual aspect quality/ ....
- others

Explorer,
If you want to use the elevator placed at the extremity of a very long jetty:
- do not try to pass the entry of the elevator walking (sometimes you fall though th floor of the elevator and so Relto)
- pass this line jumping

@ denost2
Thank you for a good journey wish :) I did download the file but I can not seem to get my
Drizzle working on WIN 8 ? So for now I will await for Diafero to upload it to Deep Island
online.

I enjoyed both ages very much, a couple quick things I can think of:
First somewhere ...
there is phantom ground outside the glass floor grid puzzle.
This allows easy access to the lower chamber tunnels.
I do not know if you intended this or not ?

I did enjoy the grid puzzle and learned to step on panel grid that had debris ot
leafs lying on them. Getting the hang of it it was fun completing it !
These are the kind of puzzles I would enjoy seeing more of in all ages.

second in Iceworld ..
I mentioned at the blue base where you go up the elevator lift to the
6 Door Puzzle. I spent a lot time there on the doors & crashed twice online in DI.
Upon returning online I ran back to the blue base, Ohhh great the elevator is left up
and I am down :) What to do but reset the Age and start over.
I sure wished for an elevator recall button to bring it back down but found none.
However you can not predict or arrange the game for online server errors.
I thought all the puzzles were good in this Age.
There was one other item but I'll think of it later.

@ Annabelle :)
Thank You for your hard work on the Elsewhere guide & videos. I will enjoy them
many months from now. I don't want to spoil the game for myself at this time.
I want to solve it on my own first. I haven't seen Elsewhere yet until it is uploaded on DI.
Unless I drag out my old WIN XP or WIN 7 to use Drizzle. You are so dedicated for all the
hard work you do ! :)

Annabelle,

It was a great pleasure to see your movie.

I followed your exploration with sometimes the feeling you was in my brain when I wrote Elsewhere.

This movie is your creation based on your talent and your taste for fantasy.

I think you improved my work by your way to show it to the spectator.

So I thank you to have spend so long time.

I hope I will be able in the future to provide other adventures.
But three years to complete Elsewhere. And many aspects should be improved...
Look again with attention at my tombstone on Long Island. You will see why it is a long time for me.

It was only for me during building
I forgot to destroy it before release

You are right
I do not know to program that
More generally I do not know how to activate one object by two (or more) buttons.
I would like to learn how to proceed

Look at the tombstone on Long Island...
I know, I was quite impressed seeing the date. You were born during the World War II. My mom is let me see... 7 years younger than you, she is still keeping up but I wouldn't see her build ages like you do.

A lot of young people think (wrongly) that people in their third age don't know anything about computers, you proove them they are wrong.

You are talented and despite my "désapprobation" when you released Somewhere in English & the heavy lag, I've always appreciated your works. I worked so hard on Somewhere to understand it that Iceworld was, let's say, rather easy to solve and Elsewhere easy.

The level of difficulty is not lowering down but my level of understanding is rising up! ;)

And for your statements about "Seeing all the flaws", I think its the bad side of being a creator, you spot the flaws right away! If I'm going back on my videos, any of them, I'll always find something I dislike, something I would have done like this instead of that, etc.

If you can release a 4th age, it would be great, if not well... It's ok. I'm glad I was there at every steps of the way :D
Annabelle ;)
