This was a nice little mission. Recommended. I also wrote a (http://thief.interstellarburst.com/rew_direventure.html) short review.

Well done Hidden in shadows ! good mission with well suited music and disturbing atmosphere. I've nearly finished but haven't found all the loot yet (playing on expert).

[SPOILER] Only found 2292/2800. Went on top of nearly all the crates, found the rope arrows, the water ones, the flares and some nuggets. I wonder where is the rest of the loot though. Couldn't find any in the keepers' library. Is there any there ?[/SPOILER]

Tell me, you seem to have an immoderate love for crates ! :laff: :laff:

Immoderate love for crates? nah ;)
there aren't that many around:ebil:

[SPOILER]There's no loot in the library section itself. You have to keep looking. I take it you have found what lay in one of the yards?[/SPOILER]

Nice one. In general, I'm not particularly fond of warehouses as an environment, but I quite liked this one. Very well written readables, too.

Btw, a minor nitpick. The transition between the indoors and outdoors ambient (a pretty good one, btw, very atmospheric) is very abrupt. I remember seeing an article on the DromEd Central some time ago on how to smooth it out a bit; you may want to check it out if you're going to do an update. [Edit: yeah, (http://www.thief-thecircle.com/dromed/displaysubject.asp?titleID=55&title=Complete%20Ambient&sub=Sound) here it is]

WOW! I don't agree at all with you about the architecture. All the textures worked really well, and fit the over all look of the mission. I felt like I was in one unique city. Although it is rather a short mission, things like gates, and over head pillars and such made each area different. If your looking at the floor while playing this mission your going to miss alot of little touches above..

Hidden in Shadows :D

[SPOILER] Yes, I've found all the loot in the yard outside. I also went to the warden's appartment, climbed up the ladder and found the loot there. Going to have another look for the rest now. [/SPOILER]

If my search proves fruitless, I'll cry for help :sly:

Well, good news ! I finally found everything and the loot objective did tick off for me on expert.

H.I.S.: Played it, loved it! Can you please do a city-based mission next? Your background architecture was fantastic and I just wanted to get up there & explore. Thanks for the fun fm!! :D

Glad you liked it:)
I don't think the next mission in the series will be situated in the city but I could always do a standalone mission if I have the time:cheeky:

H.I.S. - City or not, I look forward to your next mission! Thanks again.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere of this one....thought [SPOILER]i was going to be left hanging as to why i was hearing the voices and the music was so intense, and then finally, the keepers came through:cool: [/SPOILER] i remain very short of loot, but since i am not a loot nut, i will consider this one done!!! wish it had been longer!!! really really really liked it!:thumb: :thumb:
