Hello, congrats on the first release!
I'm having an issue where my fm loader (angelLoader) recognizes this mission as a T2 fm.
Is there a way to force it to run under Thief Gold?
Never mind lmao, it's a T2 mission but I misread. Once again, congrats and I look forward to finishing it.

AngelLoader is correct. This
is a T2 fm.
At least, I assume as much. It ran fine on my copy of Metal Age.

The headline of this thread says "new fan mission for Thief: The Metal Age". A bit misleading, but I also had no problem playing it on "Thief 2: The Metal Age". I guess the "2" just went missing in the title. Must have been the work of some filthy thief, they don't even respect headlines anymore these days.:cheeky:

It runs fine on mine too!
Thank you for the clarification, guys. My mistake. Ignore.

Nice first mission. I never had to shoot an arrow to open that area. Look forward to seeing more missions from you.

for those who dont know
"thief 1 the dark project" = thief 1 fan mission
"thief 2 the metal age" = thief 2 fan mission
"thief 3 deadly shadows" = thief 3 fan mission

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it.
It corresponds with one of the core features of my "design philosophy" - I try to never force a player to execute one particular action to proceed further. The only exception in this mission is using a rope arrow in the first area, but I wanted the player to overlook playable area from the 2nd floor, and thus decided to sacrifice this principle in that exact area.
In other words, player's freedom is the cornerstone for me. I am looking forward to make my next mission as much experiment-friendly as possible

Congratulations on publishing your first mission. That was a short yet sweet journey back into the early era of Thief 2 FMs. Thank you for the inclusion of "Rhubarb" by Aphex Twin, hearing this fittingly melancholic tune made me smile. If you make more missions in future, I will definitely play them.

Downloaded, and eager to try your FM when I will have a little time for playing Thief :)
