Sorry Antiblitz, that was me. At first I went to scout your house and died stupidly. The bounty was quite big so I waited one hour to come back for it (after the chills had gone). I spent a lot of time optimizing the tools I had bought, and I didn't see the the time passing. It is true that it can be frustrating when you have to wait for a robber to leave the house. Maybe a robbery could be limited in time? Like for example a countdown of 20-30 minutes before the cops arrive, and it would add some adrenaline!

Don't be sorry, I'm pretty sure Ecker/Forester was using dual accounts or cooperative play too (when rampaging my house). Anyway, nice to see the paintings back!

That would be perfect!

You mean the 2nd pitbull should be one tile upper?

Looks like a decent build, but it costs more than 2000$...

Ok, it seemed too easy to be possible.

Jason I just sent you an e-mail with the 3 candidate files for the laddered trapdoor glitch and how to find it.

There is something weird with animals fried on electric floors:
if the electric floor is visible but is not in "animal sight" then you see the grid but not the animal.
for example:
P               P: player
X               X: wall
X#             #: animal fried

Mmm, I have an AZERTY mac keyboard (ouch) and on this I can only get shift+^ and & to do something (slow and normal). I've tried many different key combinations, and also plugged in an external PC (azerty) keyboard, but without success... Any idea what the mapping should be on my keyboard?

Ah, I guess it was me Josh
You have the corridor at angle about 30° with the pitbull on the far end, and the pit with the cripple cat at the beginning to block the other pitbulls, right?
Actually I could see the electric floor without tweaking the image, but it is quite faint and I agree that on a darker monitor it could be invisible...
(I was also helped by the fact that you didn't change much of your design since the last time I robbed the house, so I knew where to look at).
I can draw a draft if Jason is interested to see it.

I have 4 candidate recordedGames for the ladder glitch, but they are quite big... it may take hours to watch them. Is there a way to move quickly forward in repla

I really like the new version. It is almost useless to tweak the screenshots, so in my opinion it is a big step forward . The only time I got fooled was when a dog saw me from far away in the shadows and insta-killed me a bit further through a door. A dog can be almost invisible in the shadows at the other side of the screen, but you can see that there is a path fading and just hovering the mouse around will reveal the dog's presence, so I think it is not a problem.
It is true that the dog+door combo is quite powerful now, but it requires more space to build than a simple trapdoor trick, so the ratio (money needed to bruteforce it)/(space needed to build it) doesn't seem to high to me (though of course I haven't figured out all the new possibilities). And it allows new funny traps
I don't know if there is a relation but I found a glitch when walking on "laddered" trapdoors. The 3 trapdoors were vertically aligned inside a corridor; when walking on them from bottom to top, my character was displayed under the ladder. Even more strange was that I was followed by a dog, which "disappeared" under the trapdoors when crossing them and re-appeared just after them.
