Amnesia Fan Missions in the style of Thief Fan Missions?

Are there any Amnesia fan missions whose plot, goals, and story is somewhat similar to the original Thief Trilogy's? I noticed the controls and textures are somewhat similar, and both seem to take place with a mishmash of medieval, electrical, and magical elements.

Amnesia does not have any loot mechanics though, apart from picking up keys and other objects to solve puzzles. Not really the same kind of game apart from the environments.

There's a map editor, yes. And the modding community is pretty active, or at least was last time I checked.

The HPL1 (or 2) engine/editor seems pretty tedious when it comes to editing readables and switches and stuff. The HPL3 engine used for SOMA is much more capable though, looks like DarkRadiant, but with updating lights, fog volumes (and loads of other stuff) and the option to compile and run maps straight in the editor. Tons of prefabs and models, many of them designed in a modular fashion. Here's a tutorial playlist.

Here is the most Thief-like custom story (explicitly a homage to Thief by the CS' author) that I know of:

Quite an old CS (custom story, their equivalent of a basic FM), made in the early years of the modding community. You can certainly still play it, though, even with a patch-updated Amnesia. Compatibility should be OK, Frictional tend to prepare their software very well.

P.S. Take a good look at what the author used as a thumbnail for the CS, in the announcement behind the second link. :) Told you he was inspired closely by Thief.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
