Thanks for another modern-day-liked FM.

I really liked the modern kind of architecture in this missions, sadly there was absolutely no interaction with the AI. In my opinion, adding AI´s (e.g. some bandits as told in one book i found in the apartment at the start or aggressive ghosts) could adding some "fun" to the gameplay. I had fun exploring the city, but after a while it was getting boring because of the lack of real AI´s (and because I didn´t found the missing loot here - heh heh.) :devil:

These missions definitely have much more potential. :erg:

I also wondered, why the people of Porto became ghosts. If I understood correctly, the accident at the reactor released electromagnetic radiation, causing the people there to die and remained as ghosts.

Not all people of Porto became ghost, if you read carefully the readables, it mentions that the area you are exploring has been evacuated by Radiation and floods, the only person alive you see is a old granny, the ghosts are from the people that die resulted from the catastrophe. The reason why i didn´t add Ai´to fight or to interact is because i wanted to do a lonely and melancholic experience for this mission, this feeling alone would fit well with the surroundings. Also its a reflection of some of my wanders in the streets of Porto during sunny Sundays , where some streets are empty and you get to listen few sounds.

Well, thanks for your quick reply. :D

You really masterered the feeling of a lonely and depressing grey place under a blue sky. In my personal opinion, this mission is definitely good, but not your best. For example, I loved the second mission of "3 Distinct Adventures" - especially the persian temple. This mission was absolutely brilliant. (I really wish there were more "Prince-of-Persia-styled missions" out there. :cheeky: )

i try to build all kind of places, and i hope in the near future to build again exotic paces such as arabian, egyptian places, and now with new dark i can buid more impressive paces to explore, "3 distinct adventures" was built before new dark. at the moment i`m doing a huge project similiar to "Melanchoy in porto" which will consist in 3 missions. im excited about this project because im building huge places to explore filled with alot of house that you can break in and view them from a long distance. I LOVE NEW DARK!!!Thank you for the compliments and for playing my missions. :thumb:

I´m releasing all at once, i never released missions by parts to prevent breaking the immersion, or loose the track of the storyline.
