Thank you for the kind words! It's hard to believe this mission is nearly 10 years old too! Time really does fly. Also re: the convo's. I try to add a little bit of humor to every mission or at least a bit more flavor. I've always loved it in the thief series when I stumble across a conversation & can eavesdrop in, it helps to make the world just feel that little bit more lived in, rather than just standard NPC barks everywhere. I also have a lot of fun implementing them, I was working on a mission in Shadows of Northdale Act 3 the other night and was laughing so hard at a scene I put in there. So it's nice to know that these convos are appreciated by others too

Wait what.. people actually wanted a sequel to this? Originally I was working on the sequel, but it just didn't work out due to technical limitations. And then I moved on to Shadows of Northdale. There were a few cancelled missions inbetween then and now as well. Right now my efforts are being focussed on getting the Shadows of Northdale campaign completed as well as a couple of collab projects. After that... who knows what the future may hold

Why was sneak and destroy not updated to 2022 on the mission release page? https://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/?sort=releasedate

I just go by the count on the mission releases page on the official site found here: https://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/ There’s 13 missions released in 2022 so that’s the number I go by

Thank you for your handwork Geep! The wiki's are an incredibly valuable asset for mapping work, whether it's to learn something new, touch up on old skills or just double check something. So having the wiki updated and organized in such a beautiful way makes life easier! Your work is greatly appreciated!

Due to a lack of contestants (I think i'm the only one now...) i'm going to be pulling out my entry as well. It's disappointing but I don't want to release a mission for a contest where i'm the only one competing. The mission i've shown off in the what are you working on thread will still see release in the future eventually though when the timing feels right, so I guess not all is lost.

Yeah I noticed that too, I do have plans to rename the missions so that they flow more naturally in the mission selection screen.

Damn that skin editor is seriously awesome and will save me so much time!! Thank you Greebo!

Roof, front door, back door, window... 4th dimension?

Please say darkmode please say darkmode please say darkmode....

*ahem* I did include that in my post

Some screenshots from my upcoming "horror for Christmas" contest mission. It's set in one of the abandoned districts of Northdale. If those screenshots are too dark, here are some brightened versions

I do have some cut content from a mission originally intended for my Shadows of Northdale campaign. I have wanted to rework it for a while and this seems like a perfect opportunity to put it to good use. So provided folks are okay with that, I will enter. Half of the mission will be brand new and half will be from the existing map. And of course, I have prepared a video!

Thanks for playing! It's hard to say when Act 3 will be released. The majority of the mission is done, except for two buildings that need an interior, one being decently sized. The briefing video, readables, patrol routes, voice acting and objectives are all finished, in game, polished and ready to go. It's just a matter of finding the time to get that last little bit done. Progress is happening, slowly but surely
