Heyo, I was asked if I would do a familiariisation of Dark Radiant for new mappers, so they can quickly learn what's what in DR and how to use it. It's not a mapping tutorial, but more just a get familiar with DR. It'd be good if this is useful, if it would be stickied so it's always available for new mappers. Springheels,Sothas, and Fidcals tutorials are all in the description of the video.

Mother Rose is grayman’s Halloween contribution, and a worthy one. Our hero is laying low in another city when he overhears a conversation at the bar. A local doctor had been complaining of his house being haunted, presumably by the ghost of a woman whose child’s coffin was stolen. Said doctor had hired people to exorcise the spirit, which went about as well as you’d expect. Now the doctor himself is missing, and our hero decides to take his chances with the angry ghost for some money, placing himself firmly in horror movie protagonist territory. Mother Rose is a short, but well-constructed mission, even though most of it takes place in a small house. The mission is set in the dead of winter, and the dark, abandoned houses (along with some creepy music), results in an unsettling atmosphere that fits the Halloween theme perfectly. The mission is quick when you know what you’re doing, but tense if you don’t... especially once Mother Rose herself comes into play. I believe that a common problem among horror missions (even good ones) is that once you get past the horror elements, the mission either becomes too easy (since you know what's coming and how to avoid it or deal with it) or tedious (since the horror is killing you over and over). While Mother Rose doesn’t completely avoid the former issue, the titular monster avoids some of the pitfalls. She’s slow, but utterly relentless in her pursuit of you, and because she can move through walls and ceilings, it’s easy to be caught off guard by her if you’re running around the house in a panic and not paying attention to how she’ll get to you. That said, it’s still easy to lure her and juke her...but there’s still a challenge in it if you’re not careful or are playing the mission for the first time and don’t know what to do. On a final note, I like how the mission lets you play a decent person, which seems to be a trend in greyman’s missions (not that I object). All in all, a fun, short, Halloween mission. Recommended. My apologies for being late on this.

Sorry, no

Thanks for making this Neon, now I'll have something to watch while I eat my breakfast this morning
