If you're having any trouble getting going in Murkon's Vengeance just *after* you find the first checkpoint (that is, you keep dying and getting sent back to that first checkpoint), then there is good news. I've added a few more checkpoints/portals to the early part of the level (but still after the very first one) that should help a lot. Basically what this will do is allow you to secure early progress better and not have to do so much in one shot.

For any NEW players of Murkon's Vengeance, this change will already be in effect. HOWEVER, if you have already STARTED a Murkon's Vengeance game, you will NOT see the new checkpoints unless one of two things happens:

(1) You use the 'Restart Game' thing at the lower right. The 'Restart Level' button, on the left, is NOT going to cut it, but 'Restart Game' should do it. I would NOT do this if you have reached any checkpoints beyond the immediate area of the first portal. It'll set you back more than the changes will help you.

(2) You email me at sam@rinkworks.com, give me your username, and request that I update your saved game to include the new checkpoints/portals. If you go this route, you will NOT lose any progress you have made so far. However, if you've reached any checkpoints beyond the immediate area of the first portal, the gain you get out of this may not be very significant. Still, you have nothing to lose this way.

(3) You happen to be one of the lucky people I used to test making the changes to, in which case your saved game file is converted already. But there's no convenient way for me to tell you where you can verify for yourself if your saved game has been converted already (unless you happen upon a checkpoint you know wasn't there before).

Post a reply if you have any questions about this.
