Yeah I was not happy with the mansion's events, couldn't think of another "layout" for it.
Not that I have any right to tell you anything, having not even released a mission, but I have tried many times and what is helping me this time is planning it out in documents. Now I am virtually led through the mission before it's made so I can find issues in logic and structure before it happens in dromed.

And I'm definitively going to make more because I loved doing this one, it'll take a lot of time though.
Hopefully with it fully planned and lessons learned, a second run will be faster. I know for me, I am biting off more than I can chew. I am making a large city and a large sewer. I should have made my first a easier self contained mansion for practice, but the story already written for the city/sewer is so damn juicy I lay awake imagining the mission done already.

Congratulations on the release of your first mission. I'm very much looking forward to finishing it.

Oh I almost forgot to ask. I never found the secret but I found something weird.... I roped up to a place above the area where there is the cross-bridge and zombies ghosts. It was a dark room, and then you go up again and there is nothing but some sarcophaguses. Then oddly I ran into something invisible at the end of the room. I was frobbing some invisible combo lock machine. Was this a issue with my install?

Everything is as it was meant to be, you must light the torches to see the combo lock machine. It leads to an easter-egg area, that's why I made it invisibleQuote:

Thanks, also thank you for having quickly given your opinion about it before the release, Tannar told me! I truly appreciate it :)

Hi there, I need a bit of help:
I see a space with a blue chest behind the 3 statues in the W-end part of the mansion. How do I get up there? I'm searching for a switch or a secret passage maybe in the library?
Thank you in advance for any hint!

You should check the rooms under the offices (in the little arched passage)Also thanks John, wouldn't have been possible without your help :)

Great mission. The save fail type jump events weren’t so great but the mission overall is fun. I couldn’t finish exploring the area where I found agars fabled sword. I ran out of water arrows and if I had about 30 gas arrows I wouldn’t have to worry about all those tin men. The freak show characters were great. I might try starting over just to find the damned secret. I only had 6233 loot. Where is that secret anyway? I may start over from scratch.

By save fail type jump events, you mean
the coffin path next to Agar's sword right? It's quite hard yes, I didn't know Thief platforming was infamous before I got it to beta-test ^^ Also, the secret is in the mansion part

it's a egg but I've seen no reference to a code. Also I've tried real-world possibilities like release of your FM year or when you joined ttlg :) Don't tell me but give me a hint on how I find code.On another matter, I am going to PM you about another project you might be interested in - if you want to roll into more building.
