Good to see you got it working, Bosh, and nice job figuring out why it wasn't, gnartsch! Just wanted you both to know that it could be played with NewDark.

With new_mantle on you can escape from the beginning cutscene. When the keeper arrives, hold the door open to escape into the street and watch behind the scenes as AI actors run around by the window. Down the side of the ramp, by the lamp post, there's a hidden switch that triggers the start of the scene. If you click it, the keeper will exit the house and knock on the door again, starting the whole thing over.

:D

Oh this one was great, just like Damsel in Distress! Dyald, your fanmissions really are some of my favourites! :D I don´t like zombies, haunts or beasts, but your little amount of horror is just right. And the conversation in the beginning movie is really funny, especially the scenes in the background :laff: also the keeper training was some refreshing new stuff :)

So here I have to ask again: Is there a sequel to this? If yes, what is it´s name? And if yes, are there more sequels? I´d appreciate the answer, so I dont have to ask again:erm:

baeuchlein on 19/6/2020 at 15:51

There appears to be no sequel present. According to the old download page "Cheap Thief Mission Downloads", this mission and the prequel, "Damsel in Distress", are the only ones published by Dyald.

The Phantom on 19/6/2020 at 18:45

Samantha, see this thread: (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114318)

There was a sequel to The Skygem Connection in the making, but it never materialized. Dyald hasn't logged in here in years so I assume it dead, unfortunately.

Samantha1 on 19/6/2020 at 20:05

I see, that´s really sad. I never understood why you would pay the effort in making sth. and then never finish it. It´s like all the time and effort you put in it was for nothing:tsktsk: even if personal life intervenes, it´s been 10 years since then, so it could have been finished anytime if you´d just care enough for it.
