  1. I just played this, and WOW is it amazing. Visually it's probably the best mission I've seen. I loved the layout, the use of vertical space especially. The difficulty (I played on expert) was definitely challenging, but once you got a feel for the guards' patrols it was quite doable. I also didn't get put in a lot of "suprise! you're caught" moments opening doors, which I consider a major positive. You guys put a lot of detail and thought into every part of this mission, so congrats. My only real issue is how much back and forth there is, at least the first time around. It was patience sapping after a while: go to the gallery, see the door is stuck, go downstairs and start the generator, go back to the gallery, go back downstairs... stuff like that. I was stumbling around a bit, though I am not sure half of that's your faults, more like mine for not paying close enough attention to all the written clues. I also really liked the multiple approaches you can use for each room. At no point did this feel like a corridor level. The use of rafters was really well done. Lastly, I loved the attention to soundscape you guys gave to the external streets (as well as visual modeling). As soon as I started loading the map and saw the loading screen, I was sitting there wishing for that specific thing, that you'd make it feel like being in the middle of a city, and you did, almost perfectly!
  2. I haven't played enough yet to choose 5, but for anyone else new to the game and wondering what to play, here's the results I've tallied of this thread. Tier 1 (most popular): Tears of St Lucia (19) [i greatly enjoyed this one] A Score to Settle (14) Glenham (12) [i greatly enjoyed this one] Tier 2 (extremely popular): Return to the City (11) Knighton Manor (10) [i really enjoyed this one] Heart of Lone Salvation (10) Flakebridge Monastary (10) Alberic's Curse (10) Tier 3 (very popular): No Honor Among Thieves (9) St Albans (8) In the North (8) Requiem (7) Fiasco (7) Tier 4 (popular): Transaction (5) Mandrasola (4) Lords & (4) [i loved this one, and guess it isn't higher because it's newer] Home Again (4) Trapped! (3) Phrase Book (3) House of Theo (3) Caduceus (3) Builder's Influence (3) Tier 5 (mentioned twice): Ulysses Somewhere above the City Penny 2 Betrayal Alechmist
  3. I guess figure out what the brightness limit for guards to see you at close range is, then adjust gamma so you only see black below that. Otherwise it just feels unrealistic when you're 2ft from someone and they're looking for you and they can't find you. I think this is considerably lower than the training mission would suggest, though.
