So post your comments and questions here. Tomi will reply probably when he comes back from work.
If you wonder who the heck am I, well I'm simply the one who made the briefing for PA and did some betatesting also. So if you have any thoughts or comments about that briefing ( which is my first one I have ever done ) you can post them here also.
Behalf of Tomi I thank you and enjoy Profane Ascension.

Ye forgot to warn those taffers' with weak hearts! :ebil:
Izeman on 15/7/2004 at 11:30
Oh yeah sluggs is right :ebil:
You better prepare! Keep some nitros available while playing ;)

Very good briefing Izeman. I thought it was great and had some nice atmosphere. :thumb: I just finished this FM again.
My only complaint is that some of the things i listed as needing fixing in the Beta version just hadn't been done, like the phantom lights and the floating walls. :(

Yeah, that's right. Finished the mission last night and epithumia has uploaded it on his website while I was sleeping. :p
As Izeman already mentioned, this mission is a remake of Deadly Darkness - my first fan mission that saw the daylight (or moonlight?) in January 2002. But even if you've played the original (for Thief Gold) you might still want to try this, because I've pretty much changed everything. In 2001-2002 I reached the limits of the old Dark Engine and couldn't make everything I wanted to... Now, with the slightly improved engine and more DromEditing experience, I was able to do much more. You probably won't recognise the old mission anymore. I hope so.
I'm glad that I can finally forget this project now and probably move on for the next challenge. I have three 'nearly finished' FMs under construction, but only time will tell if I ever get this far anymore.
Thanks for posting this thread, Izeman. The briefing is excellent, I thought that one have to be a professional video guru with expensive professional tools to be able to make something as good as your briefing.
Keep the feedback coming please, about my mission and Izeman's briefing.
That's the only 'reward' me (and Izeman) will get from this.
Here's the direct download link.
Izeman - could you edit the first post and put the link there as well?

Huh? :erm:
What's wrong with the phantom lights? I thought I really fixed them... at least they worked on my computer now! :confused:
What other things you noticed... I tried to fix all the bugs that you found.
BUT... Remember, all those weren't bugs - some of them are
features. :p

They still appear when walked into i'm afraid. The other things were really minor, like banners back-to-front. The biggest one for me is the floating wall just after the start of the mission, past the first entrance. It looks crazy!
Don't worry Tomi, these don't spoil the mission at all. :thumb: I should just shut my big gob. :o But then again... This is what you hired me for... It's a funny old World it is! :laff:

Damn. I tried to fix those banners, but I'm terrible at noticing those things myself! I also
think that I fixed the floating wall... Well, hopefully no one pays attention to it when playing. I believe they might have better things to do on the Courtyard!!
Oh, and thanks for the moon. It really
does suit my mission. :p
