First of all, thanks for releasing a prettty solid fan mission.
It turned out far smaller than I originally thought - just finding the corpses in the hammerite compound, return to the starting point and I was done in about 10 minutes of gameplay. Objectives were not hard and the keys were easily found.
I liked how you intended to use rope arrows and even a switch has to be activated by an arrow shot. So keep these gameplay elements for your next fan missions and stay on that path! :D

Congrats on the release! That was a sweet first mission. Takes me back to early 2000's FMs (in a good way :D) Hope to see more from you.

A nice first mission. Some things were not perfect, but most problems are minor.
The way to open the iron grate at the rear of the Hammerite-invaded building had a little bug. When I shot an arrow through the grate, it hit the button and opened the door. However, when I later returned, the arrow was still sticking in the button. Trying to re-take the arrow resulted in me being hit (and injured) by the arrow, and then suddenly an arrow was lying on the ground.
Also, one of the Hammers had a problem finding his way through the area. He somehow managed to leave the building after hearing me at the grate, but later on tried to walk through the locked front doors without success. He also seemed sometimes to be able to go through the opened grate, and sometimes he could not. But who knows, maybe he hammered himself on the head accidentally and isn't the brightest intellectual under the sun anymore.:cheeky:

baeuchlein the arrow by button was there before you shot your arrow, it seemed like a hint to shoot button, so once you open the door you then can take the arrow that was there in wood area already, its not the one you shot

Congrats on your first release. One quick tip, it's normal practice to put the date of your FM in the thread title for future reference.

Thank you for constructive comment! There are 2 arrows nearby mentioned button - one is sticking out of the wall, and second one is placed on the staircase. These are there as a hint for a player (as Downwinder already said).
No later than tommorow I will patch the mission a little bit, so that arrow doesn't deal damage anymore
