I played Greenbay after: wow, I was a bit shocked! Seeing the difference between the two mission!
Very impressive! :thumb:

Thanks, yeah it's kind of like day and night. Same architecture yet they look and feel totally different.

Hum...Is it how the world would be if Garrett fail in Rocksbourg? Or how Rocksbourg's story will be ended?

I think that you wouldn't answer me! ^^ And that's surely better! :laff:

It's an alternate story where Garrett never went to Rocksbourg. So who knows where do these creatures come from.
Yet you can get an idea according to the very few hints and references here and there ;)

BTW: After the contest, does this mission would be translated? (Please english speaker, help me: Tell me If I have made a mistake in this sentence! :cheeky:)

Franchement j'ai la flemme, et vu le peu de textes et dialogues je pense pas que ce soit necessaire...

Played the FM last night and it was totally awesome! Haven`t been scared like this since the summer when a girl with borderline personality disorder threatened to skin and kill me and my whole family... :weird:

This is intense.

I just made the speedrun in 4:13 (!!), it could have been even two or three seconds faster as I couldn´t climb a certain object at once :)

I even have a screenshot, but don´t know how to upload or send it - I don´t have any upload pages and don´t want to use them.

But I can describe it: I took the way that exits the sewers near the library,then took the food behind the locked door next to the exit, then took the food right next to the library wall, then climbed over the wall, got up the elevator to fetch the key and the last food item and then run and jump to the hole through the wall, after which comes the door that has to be unlocked to reach the docks. But it was really hard anyway, as the monster in the library nearly got me.

Congrats, very nice run ! :thumb:
I wonder if it's possible to make it in less than 4 minutes...

good Lord....!!! it's been almost a year since I last played FMs and now I am trying to catch up...
All those I played these last days were so brilliant that they spoiled me for ever...
You guys and lady (gaetane) are totaly- totaly awesome!!!!!!!!
DrK YOU ROCK!!!!!!!
I was so scared all the time, playing last night around 3 am with my cats jumping and randomly tossing things around and the rain outside rumbling that at one time I was seriously afraid that I would die of heart failure and the cats would eat my corpse!!!!!
Same feeling as with that freaking Amnesia!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :sweat:
The b/w concept did miracles with the engine's items... everything looked awesome and sinister !!!!
Thank you so much... we must be mentally unwell all of us in here!!!! :cheeky:
this community is realy making serious gaming history!!!!

don't be :o ... you earned it and is not a mere compliment...it's the truth. If some of you people come together as a team and create something big, lots of us will need dire mental hospitalisation ... or worst... :angel:

I managed to clean the mission literally and turn it upside down, found a brilliant way of how to really break the mission too and managed to screenshot capture, but alas no matter how brightly I turn gamma for both my monitor and Thief 2 game, my screenshots all feel too dark to be able to see anything clear.

Take a look of my 3 screenshots below, I used maxed out gamma settings.
(http://i48.tinypic.com/2uqhwu0.png) Time of mission.
(http://i46.tinypic.com/28i840g.png) Objectives ticked off, max loot and taffer.
(http://i45.tinypic.com/339szmr.png) Dark Grenades.
The last one's suppose to be very bright, but while it isn't, it is part reason I left out the captive screenshot of how I really broke your ending, will edit it in once or if I manage to get it visible, had like 4-6 hours of real time fun. :laff:

If I can't manage to get it visible here's a describtion of the screenshot, well I used dark grenades to block the river path, I could just safely stand back and watch my army slaughter the diseased citizens that suppose to make me run away, had 20-30 seconds of chilling before any slipped through and finally made me run to the rowboat.
[last edit] I couldn't get any readable screenshot, maybe I need a software for that.

Congrats ! :thumb:
That's the idea, I gave you the tools and possibilities to mess around in the mission. You're a prey in the mission, but once you find the grenades through unusual methods you can become a god. Glad to see you had fun with it.
