Thanks, Sliptip, Just curious.
I'm about halfway through the mission and I'm loving the quests. The ways in which all the locations and characters relate to each other are really clever. Also, Gardener's house is absolutely one of the coolest, most mindbending things I've ever seen in an FM. Holy cow. Masterfully designed.

the textures are hurting my eyes, gah, i've had to delete the animations to make it playable. now, off to steal some apples.

Interesting how quickly the brain discards the shivering textures as useless information, eh? I stopped noticing it (unless I stopped to admire the artwork) after 10 minutes.
Great work, folks, a true GAME. Like a good book, I couldn't put it down until I was finished. Love the TG reference, too. Long live Dromed!

This was a very entertaining change of pace from the usual serious stuff. Fairly easy, but those little ideas (like the cracks in the wall in the second mission with the webbed guards) make it even more awesome. Lighthearted and fun. The architecture is legitimately good, too, although I haven't gone around with crates in hand... yet! :sly:

That was inspired! Truly a great piece of game design. I especially liked the gardener's crazy house and the fact that he kept popping up in every room. To truly "market" it to children who may never have played Thief, the only thing I can think to add is maybe an optional tutorial area, explaining things like the light gem and rope arrows.
Also, some fantastic texturing on the objects. I could have sworn for a second that you'd actually got a "chrome" effect working in the dark engine for the keys and other shiny things!

I never thought the words "charming" or "adorable" could ever be applied to a Thief FM, let alone an awesome Thief FM, but so it is: THIS GAME IS SO ADORABLE!!
I love everything about it so far and am about half way through. That rope beast is creepy, though! I wonder what it wants. .
