I had to wait until I was at a computer to respond to this so I could check out exactly where all the secrets are. Here's the list Also that's great that you noticed the sink draining, I put a lot of little details like that into my missions and it always makes me smile when people notice it

Well that’s a new one! Does the crash happen if you replicate the same scene? I’m afraid I can’t help with the more technical bugs like these as that goes beyond my understanding. Of course it shouldn’t have crashed though, and during testing no one had a crash either. If you’re able to power through it without another crash then that’s good, but if you get a crash again doing the same thing please post your save files here and I’ll try to track down someone who can have a look.

No not at all! I always seem to run into problems that are obvious to others when I play FMs so I know the feeling. We all just solve problems differently

Thanks!

Ok well to upload your save files you will need to go into the directory you installed TDM. Then go into the FM folder and then into AC2. You will find the save games folder for accountant 2 in there. To upload the files just use a file hosting website like mega or zippyshare. If youve never uploaded a file before then use this guide https://wikihow.com/Upload-a-File

Before worrying about that, did you use noclip or notarget playing the mission?

1 - That is a bug I since learned about after release, apparently the entity that handles making items frobable or not needs to have the door related to it to trigger on open and on close. I plan to release an update sometime after 2.06 is out which adresses this bug and others 2 & 3 - That is a bug relating to TDM, those objects have certain invisible objects bound to them and when they touch other entities they are supposed to trigger the narration line or the cutscene, however they do not for whatever reason. One way around this is to make the item a pickupable item, but it should technically work as is originally intended. 4 - That bug only occurs if the player uses notarget or noclip throughout the mission. If you are experiencing this bug and have not used any console commands then please post your save files and I will take a look.

Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you had a good time. The missions uses a mix custom footsteps from sound packs and quite a few from the Volta campaign which are softer sounding and much more pleasant in my opinion. If it really bothers you you could extract the contents of the Northdale pk4 into its FM folder, go into the footsteps folder in sound and delete them. Then ingame you would have the default footsteps sounds. That sounds like a great idea for a mission of yours

LOL

Thanks for the kind words in the review! The fence was a lot of fun to implement, that scripting was handled by Obsttorte and he was voiced by SlyFoxx. In terms of level design I really tried to open things up this time around, a common piece of criticism I heard in my past missions was that it was too linear, so this time I made 2-3 entrances in each important place which helps to open it up. And i'm glad to hear that it's paying off spoiler 1 spoiler 2

Yep! And most of it is already built. Its just a matter of final polish and testing for each mission. So I dont plan to have long wait times in between releases.

Glad you had a good time minus the frustrating bits. There are 3 ways to get inside Jordan's apartment but some of them aren't too obvious at first.

Mission 1 is set right in the center of the city so you cant see the mountains because theyre blocked by buildings (and its a very foggy night, even the sky is barely visible). The location of the artwork is actually the final mission and not of Northdale. Its where everything leads to eventually. Mission 2 is in the Grimwood district, and there you can see mountains and trees because its on the edge of Northdale. Remember this is just the first of five missions.

You could probably track down the original sound files, lower the volume or change them completely and then replace the ones in your core TDM folder with those new ones. Provided the maps are using the default settings that will provide a lower level of sound. I know i've always had to turn them down in my missions by quite a bit because I too found them incredibly piercing.

All i'll say about that is that remember that part of the mission is a city hub sort of area that the player will revisit throughout the campaign, it changes each mission and new locations open up, a secret spot you find on night 1 that reveals nothing might reveal something on another night So when ACT II is out, be sure to check out such curious places and you might be rewarded.

Im glad you had a great time and were able to respark those old thief feelings As for the criticisms I really appreciate the praise and the constructive criticisms. Ive learned a lot from reading your review, so thank you

So for the accountant series could you please remove the part 2 and 3, as part 2 is already out and part 3 is on indefinite hold. I do have more parts of the Shadows of Northdale series coming out though it's hard to say exactly when that might be.
