Briefing

While searching for more information about the "Book of Ash", Garrett discovered that a group of rich people managed to acquire a few of its pages, known as the “Cinder Notes”. Not only would these notes be of high interest for the keepers, but to secure them would most likely prevent a disaster in the making. One of these individuals rented a room in a nearby inn for a few days. The district is densely populated but there isn’t much activity during daytime, and today the inn is closed for a short time before sunset. It’s an opportunity Garrett cannot miss. Once again, there isn't time to wait till nightfall...

message   Fantastic Architecture, Great Mission
PaulHumph    April 4, 2025, 9:32 a.m.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing this excellent mission.

Visually great with an audio to match. The seagulls were a great addition.

I thought I'd been everywhere on the map but still finished 600 short of loot.

A fantastic map packed into a relatively small place.

100% recommended.

message   Visually beautiful and concise

Cinder Notes takes you on a brief adventure through a waterlogged golden haze, complete with a detour to nab a painting. Visually, it's very nice. It's hard to take a poorly-composed screenshot; the author has an excellent eye for scenery. Every time I stopped to lean out a window or peek out from under an awning, I felt like I was looking at a...

message   Good Sliptip homage
Melan    March 1, 2021, 4:18 p.m.

In what seems to be an unintended pattern for this contest, this FM is an homage to Sliptip’s Ashen Age: a Mediterranean city at dusk (or dawn), a prominent use of waterways, and a very high-res aesthetic. This mission uses the available space well, seeming larger than it is. There are multiple ways to proceed and accomplish objectives, with sne...

message   Walk in the sunny town
Mike    Feb. 7, 2021, 5:43 p.m.

So far it is last One Million Units contest mission I haven't reviewed. And it is quite hard to write down review since here I have some conflicting impressions. Cinder Notes is semi-sequel (or semi-spinoff) to Sliptip's Ashen Age: Part 1 (albeit I don't know whether Sliptip is the author of CN). Garrett seeks in sunny town for eponymous Cinder ...

Keywords: compact, daylight, sewers, pretty, FUN.

I just love the premise of TTLG's One Million Units contest, forcing us to appreciate how much can be packed into smaller levels if it's done right. This specific format is both a restriction and opportunity - mapmakers can spend more time on fleshing out the layout, the loot and the story. Ci...

message   Pretty decent and decently pretty.
Clevercrumbish    Jan. 21, 2021, 10:37 a.m.

The Cinder Notes is a very aesthetically attractive FM with a large number of (comparatively) high quality assets (which I think are ripped from Thief 3, though the documentation was a little difficult to understand on that front) and some absolutely gorgeous lighting. The level is compact and makes good use of verticality and levels; more than ...
