This was one of the better FMs I've played, and I can see how much work went into making it. That said, I'm a bit dumbfounded that no one else has mentioned the blatant sexism in the final portion of the mission. Intruder - can you explain why there are two women hanging naked, complete with nipples and pubic hair, but the two men hanging dead are fully clothed?
Lest I give the impression that I am a prude, I do not mind the nudity; in fact, it is appropriate within a theme about death, hell, suffering, and perhaps even sin (think of "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymous Bosch, in which almost everyone is naked and the devil is flushing some poor soul down a toilet). No, the problem is the inequality in the nudity! Where is the male derriere, never mind the "crown jewels"? If there had been nude males with well-placed fig leaves, I probably would have rolled my eyes and continued with the mission. But such was not the case. Really disappointing, I'm sorry to say. But I do feel that someone needed to say it. :tsktsk:

I might be wrong but I suspect this has more to do with the fact that we already have nude female AI skins but I don't know if there are any fully nude male AI skins available. So while that in itself might be sexist, I don't think Intruder is to blame for it. Perhaps he just used what was available.

I suppose I should offer a clarification: it is not my intention to personally attack any FM author, intruder in particular! It is my intention to (as gently as possible) call him out on this issue.
You see, Tannar, the choice the author made of which skins to use is itself the issue.
I already figured that he used what was available from a sexist pool of images, and he probably didn't really think about the inequality too much, especially with all there is to do in getting an FM ready for the world. But that ain't exactly a satisfying reason for it. ;)
However, I've made my point, and now I'll add some levity. I would like to officially cast my vote for more male genitalia in FMs! Lewdness and bawdiness for all! Equally. :D

Not sure how much lewdness one could grasp from 7-polygon testicles, but for the sake of equality you are absolutely right!
In case this ever get's adressed, I would recommend a look into this thread as well. ;)

Oh gnartsch, if I ever play a Fan Mission with swinging testicles, I think I will die screaming from laughter! ...After having spent several minutes staring at the screen in complete silence, mouth agape, at the wonder and horror of it. :eek:

In particular - thunderstorm. The idea itself is excellent, but why do I see polygons when thunder rolls out? If this is fixable, why not release the patch?

I'm not entirely sure that I understand what you're saying (I have an idea, though).
Would it be possible for you to provide me with a screenshot of said flaw?

Having same problem as some other people here, burnt both items and no teleport to clock. Using latest DarkLoader and Thief patch.
Intruder, do you still have a working savegame, the link posted here no longer works. I'd love to play the ending, looks awesome on FenPhoenix's video.
P.S. Playing on Normal difficulty.
