The campaign takes place before the events of Thief 2. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Construction * Known bugs : Lack of sound in several places. Building time : about 1,5 years The Night Falcon was originally started as a Team Project, but as the Team became smaller and smaller and none of the members left had the time to go on we had to abandon the project. But after all the work (I had already finished several missions for the campaign). I could not just give it up like this. So I have shortened the campaign and modified the story accordingly. Big Thanks to the ttlg.de Team (Ar-Zimrathon, Hrothgar, MadBull#34, pdackel, s.tschiesche) who have helped me along the way. Extra big thanks to Hrothgar for the cathedral and to The Unforgiven (pistole2k) who has also been working on it, to Toasti whose abandoned mission is the basis for Lord Wellhofer and to s.tschiesche for the maps and videos, to Hrothgar for the English translation and to Madbull#34 for the maps. To Rob Hicks for DromED deluxe, to GayleSaver for Custom Scripts and to von.Eins for translating the Dromed-Tutorials into German. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ * Special Thanks * -- For new objects/meshes: Hrothgar, pdackel, schwaa, Nameless_Voice, von.Eins, Dhin, Targa, Ycatx, Jonquils, Datoyminaytah, Eshaktaar, Blackruin, Demon Reaver nd Rob Hicks. -- For new textures : Hrothgar, Balatro, Majic, I.
