It's 60 levels, a (mostly) coherent plot, some cool sets, character development, lotsa dialogue, clothes, skins and decals made or modified, blah blah, etc.
So now I have 4 problems left:
The main one: John kindly suggested he'd heard there was a 50 level maximum on campaigns and I might have to split it up into Act 1 and Act 2, but he didn't know for sure.
I seem to have an invisible glitch in my campaign text that crashes the game, and my patience is reaching its limit... it's been months making the game and now I'm up to about 20 hours just trying to fix the very last thing, the campaign txt. Oy.
I've split the text into two shorter ones, both play, and then I can't get them to work once I re-unite them. I even re-typed the 2nd half on the end of the first by hand (i.e. one cluster at a time), something stops it...
The second problem is that for some reason the very first map loads fine if you type the map name into the console, but in campaign mode-- when I can get that to work-- it loads the main (your hero) character without her skin: she's just the pale plastic form the skin goes on... she looks like a FoxBot. It's kind of cool, IMO, but it's already a dream sequence, and the effect probably won't increase players' ability to figure out that's what's happening. Tried saving it a lot, rebuilt the dialogue, rewrote the campaign txt, still loads the blank.
Third, I never did figure out how you configure the last campaign level so it sends you to the "Congratulations! You have restored peace to the Island of Lugaru, and here is your score" screen.
The 4th one is that I have no idea how to send the game out into the world, being a noob at almost all this compooter stuff.
All thoughts and answers appreciated, and Thanks in Advance,

ps. my wife thanks you X 20, since I've been working on this every free minute for 4 months now
