Are we not coming up on the 25th anniversary of Thief II? Or, is there already a FM contest in the works for that?
I don't recall seeing a contest posted. If anyone does create a contest it better involve crate stacking.

This journey idea sounds quite nice! I'm thinking missions like Into the Odd or Impious Pilgrimage. Both introduce a journey like gameplay where many different areas, themes and atmospheres were experienced. This journey theme might offer a good chance to build something yet unseen or rarely used environments in Thief fan missions.

How about pausing for a year before the next contest is started? The last one is just completed, now let people play these missions (and the others we get in between) first, instead of hastily doing the next big thing.

We can finish 4 missions faster than for a year :)
But I still can agree with postponing the contests for some time but for a totally different reason: contests come with limitations and we have very few authors actively making new FMs. So it would be wise just to stop distracting FM authors and let them do what THEY want. That helps with motivation a lot :)

i am glad people like the journey idea, :) also nothing was ever said about running it anytime soon, i just feel a lot of contests just come out and a lot of people never had a chance to throw out a idea's
this board is just for idea's for a future contest
anyone else have idea's, i would like to see what others think
and yes i dont think the contest should be until we get new connal fan mission and i think the one where you throw the rock at the vent to get access, might be the same mission but i have a bad memory, all captain Davidson fault

I actually have something in mind I'd like to try later this year. Quake, Doom and some other games have been having regular jams where entrants are given one or more themes with a short build duration (say, between a week and a month) and then you go and create your map based on that. They're not competitions, so there's absolutely no pressure to create the best thing ever. I've been thinking about this for quite some time for Thief and I have a format that could work well. My only question is whether the community would be up for that.

another idea i had "i am sure other have also" a prequal to thief 1 = anything from kathra-din era and before thief 1
also a post thief 3 to see how fam mission authors think happened after thief 3 ending
