Introduction:Imagine -- a city of the vanishined hopes. Those were blessed by the Builder days, until something terrible made the people to roam in fear, saving their lives from the devils of their dreams. You're playing as Kevin. A young thief from a poor family, who pickpockets not just for his own desire, but to feed his brother and sick father. One night, Kevin been waiting for a sleepy stranger with a big purse. Suddenly a big strange flash came from the Arvindale Spire, the mages institute and the longest building in the city. Many people were surprised, and yet, It was just a couple of minutes, before "they" started to spread the chaos. Nothing did stop them - swords, arrows, they just rushed and killed everyone on their way. People were starting running like a bunch of rats...
However, a squad of mechanists from the Oakford sewer station called people inside, for a shelter. Nobody amongst the citizens knew how they managed to be prepared for that. Not everyone accepted their hand of help, some people just fleed into nowhere in fear... Into their dead end. Kevin, however, was the one who valued his life, so he came inside, feeling like he was betraying someone, but he simply didn't want to die.
Few weeks passed after that awful disaster. The streets were emptined, the survived people were doomed to rot undeground and wait for help... And the worst -- leader of the saviors has been lost. He came to the surface without warning anyone, but only a mechanist worker, to find the other survived humans. Kevin knew, that if he'd keep sitting in there he'll be rotting with no chance. Maybe surpassing his fears and coming to the surface -- is his destiny? Besides, he felt a burden of regret for not coming to his family to help. He's got no other wish, then following the saviors leader footsteps and find what's left of the other city areas, and... To find what did cause all this sudden chaos.

I surely want to thank DrK for the "Night of Rocksbourg" as inspiration! Without that glorious campaign, for sure, I don't think I'd ever start something like Arvindale.
So as a personal achievement, I'd like to finish this city, even though It's not going to be anyhow perfect or good.
(I barely expect something perfect from myself, oh gosh...)
There's also another FM I'm going to release on September, once I'll be finished with briefing video creation.Purgator on 27/8/2016 at 18:41
Really looking forward to this one! Your own style certainly shines through in these screenshots, I wish you well in your endeavours.
Well done and keep up the great work Zoro! :thumb:

My favorite mission type, too - even more so when "mystery locations" are included like a lost temple in a cellar (used for rituals), an undead-laden crypt under a "nonsuspecting building" (a crypt so old that it isn't under a regular church/temple), or a portal that could lead anywhere etc. etc.

That's looking good, Zoro. I'm excited that you are working on a city mission.

It looks really good. The play always outweighs the pretty. Keep it rolling. ;)

Looking great! Count me in if you need a tester.

Looking good zoro, and as Russia has produced such brilliant authors such as Zontik and savar, i have high expectations of your mission...it must have something to do with the vodka they drink over there. ;)
