Thanks - found it.
This one was pretty good. I liked the idea of finding a tunnel some OTHER thief had dug into the weapons shop and getting to go down there and explore. Really openend things up. Nice work!

This was a nice one! Got off to a bad start with all the sound trouble, but the design and gameplay really kicked it up a notch. I would really like to see this one revamped and expanded. DrK style definitely! :D
Found all the loot, and what I would call 2/2 secrets (although they don't show up in the stats).
Congrats on your first misson, whoever you are!

Enjoyable small FM! Graphics were good and I love it when the AI are super-alert. Finished in 41 mins. Liked the fact that the vial of holy water turned out to be misleading (as in, no zombies!). Secrets were rather challenging as well. Good job Lost Soul! Hope you'll consider doing another FM in the future! :thumb:

Not sure if this thread is dead, but in Bafford's bathroom upstairs, there appears to be a secret compartment in the ceiling. Does that open? I got full loot though.

Hey there, first off thanks for playing An Old Friend. The answer is NO, it was meant to go up into the attic but was working to a deadline and just ran out of time. Incidentally there was meant to be a few more things in the mission but like I say time got the better of me.
All the best. :thumb:

Thanks Lost Soul. Great mission. I've been out of thiefing for a while, so I'm playing catchup on missions.

dml courtesy Glypher: Objective states you need to get back to where you started but goal was badly set up so you finished anywhere in the map once you had completed all your objective, now you need to get back to start point. Also fixes a number of AI's with over sensitive hearing, a few misplaced objects, sceptre now non drop, end game pocket picked count.

Thanks Jim! Do you know if sound propagation also was fixed? I remember that being outright terrible. The mission overall was quite good though.
fortuni on 7/5/2021 at 04:58
Can't fix sound issues :(
