Remember that this mission, and by extension every mission made for the contest, is for
THIEF GOLD. As such, do not load it with Thief 2! It is highly recommended you do not use the Enhancement Pack and/or HD texture packs to play this mission. It is also recommended you uncheck all optional features TFix comes with if you update to the latest version of the full executable.

Just finished this 2 mission pack. All I'm going to say is that it's pretty damn good and creative (especially mission 2), with all the ways and passages to get around. Despite being "complex", it's hard to get lost. There's even a little something in there that might help you if you need to backtrack ;) which is a nice touch by the author (who I think who they are, judging by the architecture and other stuff).

I´m starting the contest with this one, and so far i´m loving it, i´m in the second part, i´m stuck, where's the key to the metal door in the corridor filled with sarcophagus ?
edit: never-mind found the key!

I kicked off the contest with this one and thoroughly enjoyed it, esp. mission 2 (wonderful catacombs). Creative, atmospheric and nicely paced - the whole thing is really well done. (I also found a message from Batman! :sly:)

Had lots of fun with this one. Really thick atmosphere and a lot of creativity here!
My impressions in more detail:
Mission 1 is really well-done. The city is especially rewarding to explore since wherever you go, you find new places. The main highlight is the tower! :D I'll have to check out how it's made in DromEd since I can't figure it out at a glance. The only complaint I have is that most interiors feel a bit too big/underdecorated.
Mission 2 is a bit more complicated. I loved what the author was able to do with stock resources. There were lots of surprises and highly immersive atmosphere. On the other hand, the gameplay felt a bit underengaging. A few puzzles require you to do the same thing over and over. Evading the enemies is pretty easy... except for that one place! :sly: And I also got lost in the burrick caves :D
I have a pretty good idea who the author is, but I'll keep it to myself and just say that this is one of their best works! :thumb:

Is there a way to prevent haunts from spawning all the time?

Mission finished, almost two hours of gameplay, This was an amazing experience, i loved both scenarios, they are so well constructed, i don't know who the author is but i have a suspicious. The gameplay was excellent , the music and ambient sounds are well placed and well chosen, the readables are captivating, the puzzles are not frustrating, some of the new surprises were very interesting. I give 10 out of 10.
To whomever made this beauty of high quality thank you so much. :thumb:
alright, going to play another contest mission :D
