This is my first fan mission. It's very ugly, I didn't really put a lot of effort into making it pretty, so I hope that doesn't put you off.
This is also my entry for the End of Year Speedbuild competition, landing at the staggering ammount of 746 terrain brushes, so well under the max of 2000.
Scripting could also be a bit rough, so you might get a customized cutscene, but nothing should break, I've done some testing.

Please let me know what you think about it, I don't mind the harsh feedback!

Briefing

Word on the city is that the Mechanist have found themselves on a long-lost temple, after one of their mining teams stumbled upon the entrance doors, buried after years of abandonment.

I've been doing some digging myself, and it turns out the temple was home to an ancient cult of mad people. However, these crazy-os did have a very interesting trinket on their hands that may be useful for future "expeditions"; a copper medallion, with some magical properties.

This medallion should be buried in the deepest part of the temple, but I did scout a secret entrance that could give me an early lead over the Mechanists, although they have probably already scrapped every other valuable off of there, so I don't expect for this to be a big job.

message   Thanks for putting this level out there

Level was pretty good in atmosphere and design, really good for a first level ( sort of inspiring me to make my own level :0 ) The only real critique I can make is that the level is quite linear and the environment seems a bit "gamey" as in it doesn't feel as though I am really in a temple i guess

Thanks for making this, it was a fun ride :)

A Lucky Thief… is fine Lost City-like mission. Garrett once again is set to "archeological expedition" in ruins of some long lost temple which now is discovered by Mechanists. And now Garrett have to discover some ancient secrets while he is trying to avoid Mechs. So begins our short journey.

Overall, the mission is a pretty solid debut: ev...

Entrant to the speed-building competition and the debut of the finely named Iker Pineapple.

Iker warns that they haven't spent too much time refining it plus there were restrictions placed in the competition but overall I didn't see too much wrong with it, a bit rough around the edges perhaps and some of the tunnels were very square. Style ...

Pros: You can have most mechs killed even on expert as is a proper thing to do in each and every mission.
Cons: This is most likely (for the most part) not intended as it needs them shapeshifting in T1000 fashion through the (indestructible) delimiting barrier.

Otherwise fairly competent, though the architecture is somewhat plain.

This is a really good mission and even more so when taking into
consideration that this is the first FM published by this author.
Strong 7/10 for me.
Good Job!
