I didnt have to kill him to get the 4'th and finish but it was hairy to say the least. I think this one is gonna be the winner unless there is another masterpiece tucked away somewhere I have not gotten to yet.

This FM has high quality architecture and nice textures but for some reason it was pain to play for me. First, that bug with bringing keys to wizard objectives didn't work me - but thanks it was fixed by patch posted here. Second, movement in some places - for Garrett and for other AIs - was far from perfectness, Garrett was enable to stay on stairs, slowly falls down, guards stuck in different objects, it was very hard to return to the portal in fire "realm". Third, framerate was not nice in some places. I think all these issues were result of author hurry related to contest deadline. Otherwise it would be definitely nice art and it is sad that it isn't because of technical problems:(
I noticed one wall in fire "realm" looks as secret I'm unable to open, it is near 2 chests on stone shelves - one with loot, another was unfrobable. Is it secret? On finish statistics shown me 1 secrets from 0:)

Most of the technical problems you mentioned, aside from the bug fixed by the patch, are a result of how the FM was made and not any hurry on the part of the author. The construction of this FM is revolutionary, but that's of course only interesting to Dromeders. :D

I'd say this one wins the technical award....we need to have categories for voting like in previous KOMAG contests...I cannot just not vote at all for several of these they are so good.

just got around to this and its gorgeous! loved the portals and the storyline was quite gripping. i did have a few minor frame rate issues but aside from that, good work author!

Before I even started the mission I was about 99% sure the author was Nameless Voice.
Not because of the fact that it caused Thief to crash but something else VERY familiar.
But now the mission is started I'm gonna see if I can back up that theory.

I thought of that in first instance...such techstuff there..
and I suspected NV to fool us with his comments:ebil: :sly:
but I really can't imagine him not using a single custom script....
must be someone who dislikes custom scripts to pull off such circus without any... ( makes me think off vlad midnight allthough I haven't seen him around lately)

Don't forget Komag's contest mission Mind Master which had thousands of links. Although in his defense, there were no custom scripts back then (or else only VK's). Maybe the host submitted an entry?

The tech here suggests Otto but the look does not.
Next guess would be R Soul but again the look is not consistent.
NV is my best guess but again something seems out of sorts.
In short....I dunno.:confused:

It could be a NV's challenge against himself to prove his wizardry even without using his own scripts.....:cool:
