Great story and readables, but average geometry in places. overall thought very good 2 mission mini-campaign.

message   Great idea, hampered by design choices.

Clearly a lot of effort went to create this campaign, but some design decisions inexplicably hampered gameplay where it became a chore in some missions. As everyone is fully aware the mantling in this engine seriously flawed, compared to any other Thief game/s. And this created a lot of frustrating WTF moments throughout the campaign.

Like Mike, when I started "Now and Then", I thought it would be small city/museum mission.

What appeared to be on first glance a small and basic mission, which surprisingly turns out to be the complete opposite. A fair number of the building are enter-able, but not from obvious locations. The sub-plot and readables related to the inhabitan...

Scroll of Remembrance is MirceaKitsune's first FM, and while it was released close to Halloween, it's probably not meant strictly as a Halloween mission. There are some creepy s...

This mission unfortunately didn't go through a lot of beta testing, so bugs like incorrect use of visportals never got caught. This is primarily what is causing the poor perf.

Frag0holic    Nov. 17, 2020, 12:12 a.m.

Dragon's Claw is an old Halloween mission that has flown under my radar for several years. It recently got a facelift by the author, well timed for this year's Halloween. Having...

This mission is very old, like 2011 old. The mission was originally built for the Halloween contest, hence its shortness. But there was a very bad show stopper of a bug in the tavern. So 2 days before Halloween 2020 I thought what the hell, lets see if I can fix this bug and any other mapping bugs or old techniques. As it been 9yrs, it turned out there was quite a number of bugs. But I fixed them all, including making a new Ghost Ai skin for other mappers to use :-)

message   Lots of nooks and crannies.
topic about   Ascend The Dim Valley
Bikerdude    Sept. 6, 2020, 12:13 p.m.

This type of T1/2 mission is what I thoroughly enjoy the most. I love the rats nest nature of the FM, the constant rewards and eye candy you get when you explore. Then there is the story, very unique and encapsulated, fantastic.

message   Diamond in a rough of city sandboxes
topic about   The Painter's Wife
Mike    July 6, 2020, 6:08 p.m.

The big and sprawling Painter’s Wife is truly diamond in a rough. It is classic city sandbox with all the nooks and crannies to explore. There is not one plot, but many – which ...

I have just finished going through both of Skacky's lets-play vids and fixed, corrected and added to this mission based on his observations, bugs reports and annoyances. Should be a much better all round experience for new players. There is still a few more things to fix and once those are done and myself and dragofer have done a quick fly through version 1.1 will get released.

message   Highly impressive but definitely rough around the edges
topic about   The Painter's Wife
skacky    July 27, 2020, 1:55 p.m.

If you're looking for a really really large city exploration mission with many areas to explore and things to do then The Painter's Wife is exactly what you want to play, and it...

Should be a much better all round experience for new players. There is still a few more things to fix and once those are done and I have done a quick fly through version 1.1 will get released.

There are still some bugs that stumped me and I honestly think these are core-mod bugs. But I have done my best to address these as I ...

tristamus    July 22, 2020, 4:01 a.m.

In the past week, I've put about 6-8 hours into this one mission, on "Difficult" difficulty. I am ALMOST done, but I've yet to figure out how to deliver the papers to the Judge ...
