Great mission! It really brings out an old school thief feel and runs smooth as silk in 1.19!:thumb:

Excellent mission, managed to find a way to rooftops and explore unintended zones, places where we not suppose to reach for, but fun as heck too and it does not break the mission or anything, would want to share the screenshot, but the snapshot that takes my screenshots to screenshot folder in where Thief 2 is located, they all turn very pitch dark and I wonder, how can I force the captured screenshots to be brighter? :D
-edit- If you want I can point out the location and how to make it unreachable, i'm currently exploring to make sure it really won't break the mission.
-2nd edit- It's nothing to do with rope arrows though.
I managed to place a crate on a thin railway, special jump mantled ontop the rail, jumped onto the crate, then I could run, jump and mantle onto a ledge next to me that allows me to reach rooftops to the void and I could backtrack from industrial area back to starting point that way and I at least only take minor damage, lastly if you don't mind losing 6 healing points you could slide fall onto solid ground entirely outside the mission map, I could walk around in some unfinished building near the monastery walls, if you as the author of the FM finds this okay for taffers to find and explore I'll leave it as a secret and see if others can find the sweet spot that gives access although its a trap, once you slide down no way to get out, unless you strictly stay at rooftop level to "slide" your way back to starting point. -3edit- Thank you so much!!!! Check this awesome screenshot. :)

Thanks for the great comments taffers..it's really nice to read.
Also Ghostly yes..with rope arrow into snow you can climb out in places..We discussed this in beta and the general consensus was climbing is cool, so it was left this way rather than blocking every climb (some are still blocked). For brightening screens add an adjustment layer 'levels' or 'curves' in photoshop and tweak..

location of William is somewhat randomized. He may be in 1 of 5 places.
Thanks, he is now
safely recovering at home :angel: I finished with 4136 loot at 4/9 secrets - two obvious reasons to return and continue exploring :D BTW, I could not resist to BJ Mr. Mortlock - and witnessed a bizarre scene: he duly collapsed, but after about 2 seconds he rose up and ran out to the streets, just to fall unconscious again a few blocks ahead, past the corner. If this is a bug :confused: it's so amusing you should leave it untouched :cheeky:

Great Mission I thought it was going to be rather small at first with hardly any opening doors, but it kept going and going lots of areas to explore Great mission zacharias!! Loved it!! Thank you again for this Christmas present.:cheeky:

Excellent mission Zacharius ! :thumb:
Enjoyed the atmosphere and, although I had the texture problem, I don't think it detracted from the enjoyment significantly.
Nice variety of enemies,great architecture and fun new weapons! Also enjoyed working out how to get to some difficult locations.
Missed a few secrets and some loot - I'll have to play again at a later date.
Can't believe that's your first release - great effort - you should be very proud of it.
