Hey dear Thief-guys!
10 years ago I started to build a big city and approximately 5 years ago I built a castle. Both play in winter. After long time with many big breaks in dromeding and still no idea what to do with the missions - no story (except for some ideas), no knowledge about how to use the complex technology of linking - and missing time because of work, now
I had the idea that anyone of you dromed-guys and me could cooperate and finish the missions together.In my opinion, both maps are great work from me. Maybe the city is built a little bit chaotic (because I didn't know how to do it better then), but the castle is very nice. I had much fun and a great time of construction, but now I am at a point I can't continue it. And at this point I don't want to live with the thought that these very nice and wonderful maps will become forgotten files on my computer.
For better insight I have added a few pictures:

How you can see there are a lot of details which have to fix, e.g. wrong textures, missing motion of AIs, brush fails, fog everywhere and so on...
In some areas there are errors at portalise/optimise and I don't know what's the issue.
This and some (...maybe a bit more...) other mistakes you have to find and fix. But I think it is not that much.
I used a large palette of new textures, objects and sounds. Some sounds are specially created by Child of Karras (look at Thief 1 + 2 Soundtrack).
I spent a lot of love in detail to build a nice atmosphere. I would like that this mostly remains untouched.
If there is anyone who is interested I can give you some more details.
Is there a crazy dromed-editor-guy (or more of you) who would like to continue my work (with me) with a great story and a more better knowledge of Dromed-technology than mine?I hope for a lot of feedback!
best regards
Carrot (aka Suselsahne for the german editors)

These are beautiful screenshots! Nice work! I have too much on my plate at the moment to join you in this endeavor, but I hope others do. It would be a shame to let all that beautiful work go to waste.

@Tannar: Thank you very much! It is a pity that you have no time. Maybe you could join later. :)
@clearing: Holy shit, I didn't knew that! That's really old! :joke: But the big mansion doesn't exist anymore and the City has evolved. The castle in the mountains is a new part.

Looks great! I'd be interested in taking a look, though I doubt I could commit to helping finish them at the mo.
You might have more luck finding Dromed folk in the (

How very lovely! Yeah, I'd be interested in taking a look and helping you where I can. (Mostly with story stuff if that's where you're struggling)

Normally this is the kind of project I would like to take on (see Heist Society, Deceptive Perception 2, Seven Shades of Mercury), but even though I got my big campaign released recently, I have too many other things going on to step in on this one. Hope you find someone to help out!
Carrot on 21/11/2017 at 18:42
@nicked: Thanks! But what are your doubts? :)
@Random_Taffer: Yes, story stuff is good! I think I'm not that good at telling good stories. It would be awesome if you could help with that! Thank you! :D
@Yandros: I really hoped that you would say yes. I played a lot of your fanmissions, 3 days ago I finished your "Death's Cold Embrace", and it was so awesome! Really good missions. But I understand your position to do other stuff at the moment. Thank you anyway! :)
The hint with Editor's Guild is great. Is it possible to move this thread or should I just open a new one? Edit: Oh, it is. Haha, thanks!

Just too busy with my own mission at the moment. I wouldn't be able to devote the time it would need. I hope you can get them finished though, both missions look fantastic!

Ok, I understand. No problem at all! :)
