Martijn Mooij, the author of the BD fan site
www.bd-fans.com,
who already contributed a level set for the “Contributions 2004” level package,
has created a new level set: “BD Dream”!
This new set contains 102 new BD style levels with a nostalgic atmosphere
around a story that is introduced in the first level, accompanied by custom
graphics and music. It also contains solution tapes for all levels.
As this level set is quite large (around 11 MB) due to its custom artwork
and MP3 music files, it is released as a separate package.
Download it here or from the
“Levels & Artwork” page!

This version is mainly a bugfix release, although it already contains most of
the features of the new Emerald Mine compatible game engine (but not yet fully
accessible from the level editor). New level sets containing native Emerald
Mine levels (which are not yet released, but may come soon) can already be
played with this new game engine.
Most important changes since last release version 3.1.0:
- added tutorial level set created by Aaron Davidson
- added editor element descriptions written by Aaron Davidson
- added native game engine for Emerald Mine (Club) levels
- added level skipping functionality to main menu
- added support for dumping small-sized level sketches from editor
- added use of “editorsetup.conf” for different level sets
- lots of bugfixes and internal engine changes (see ChangeLog)
