In light of Frobber's incredible
Oracle of the Prophets, I feel like the producer of a small-budget indie film who's releasing his work the same weekend as
Lord of the Rings... but I have a new small, holiday-themed FM ready for download from Jason's site.
Here's the link: (

Here are a couple of screenshots:

http://home.insightbb.com/~yandros/temp/temp_files/xmas02.jpg Mission text:
This mission is a simple virtual holiday retreat for weary taffers looking for a
comfortable, nostalgic environment for the holidays. A cozy fire, good books,
a well-stocked kitchen, gentle snow falling outside, and holiday music on the
stereo...
And because the perfectionist in me couldn't simply release an "ambient" mission,
there is also one objective: Find a way to end the mission. There are actually seven
ways to end the mission, although one is only available on Expert. The difficulty
levels determine how well hidden the objects required to achieve mission's end are.
Note: Gaylesaver's scripts ARE required for this mission, although there are no precautions against this, there will just be a few minor things that don't work (nothing that should break the mission).... I'm sorry about this. I'll be getting a fixed version to Jason after the holidays. Just please be sure to have them installed before playing. I also found one small cosmetic bug which needs fixing (I left a window model out of the ZIP which causes the window in the kitchen to the right of the fireplace to look wrong). Expect a v1.1 a day or two after Christmas.
Have fun, and Happy Holidays everyone!

P.S. If anyone needs the seven solutions posted in a spoiler here, let me know. A few may be tricky... ;)

Beautiful house! I had a little run around and found one way out so far. Thanks so much for this mission! It actually got me in the mood to go to a Christmas party tonight that I (previously) wasn't really looking forward to. Thanks!

Is there somewhere else i can download VK's scripts from? I can't access Geocities sites for some reason! Thanx. :thumb:
[EDIT]Playing through it without the scripts because i can't wait! It's surely a nice place. I wouldn't mind living there! 'Ere, no pressies under the Tree? :( Didn't Santa come this year? Must've been a naughty Boy! :joke: I liked the Tree and how you made the lights. The sound system worked very well. I remember you asking about that in TEG.
Can you not finish the mission without the custom scripts then?
It's all very nice. Don't put your work down. Nice going taffer. :thumb: [/EDIT]
