I've already been wondering what you've been up to in the meantime. Anyway, looks great. Enviable talent.

@joebarnin Jeff, he played Now and Then as well. I watched part 1 and 2 yesterday, and part 2 is exactly how I envisaged cautious guys playing this mission when we did beta testing! Part 2: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=OlTlga1mb2w

Interesting thought.

...in the meantime: Mr. Axel finished the main quest and is determined to complete two remaining optional objectives: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=fN-z581IOew I must say, I admire his stamina. However, the way he uses the inventory causes me physical pain. Somebody around with a google account to tell him that he can cycle through inventory items using certain keys?

Have you guys ever noticed this English gentleman? https://piped.kavin.rocks/channel/UCSqIEwL7Olwd_krFWhEsTIg He has done plenty of Dark Mod mission playthroughs. I checked several of his walkthroughs the past few weeks and I have the impression he is playing the missions thoroughly and very, very slowly - to clarify: he's playing TLC from my HH series right now and towards the end the session already has 10 (!) videos of 40-60 (!!) minutes each....but then again I recall that before beta I myself estimated a playing time of five to seven hours, so... Anyway, he also played my favorite DM mission The Accountant 2 sometime ago - I will definitely watch all related videos in the next days as I have the feeling that it will be quite interesting because of the level design. So if you're looking for playthroughs where the player really sneaks through the mission and suspects the end (or something even worse) behind every wall, then you've come to the right place.

I like the briefing with the writing sound and the word appearing in a book...and the is fracking unbelievable! I don't feel like checking the map but I am really curious how you achieved that!

Cool. I will give them a ring and ask them to hand me the IP rights for a symbolic 1 Euro...and then I will start a new Thief that really deserves the name with a few of my modding friends from here.

Congratulations on the release!

I think it is a better idea to start with another mission as template, as Iris is quite complex, uses lots of advanced stuff and thus will be for a newcomer surely confusing. I recommend you to start with Sotha's "Bakery Job" which is available via the downloader and there is also a video tutorial that shows how he produced this mission from scratch to beta: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=gem2sHGhfZE You can then start modifying this mission and see how it changes. However, after Sotha's video tutorial, you should definitely go through Springheel's tutorial as well because it includes vital information regarding Visportals, AI and other things: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=6m-yq4hH81Y&list=PLUoSeWinI05Qv5srQnKYAC-MrYwCY2-lk&index=1

I had to check the wiki as I had no idea who or what is behind this venture. I'm surprised how many European developers they've bought over the years, and there's a total of over 10,000 people working there. That makes them bigger than EIDOS were in their best times twenty years ago. I find even more surprising all the titles that have been bought up over the years. Don't know if that will bring any improvement for LoK, Thief or Deus EX - looks like they want to keep developing those titles in Canada as (no offense) Montreal stands for me with 2006's Assassin's Creed for the decline of the industry. I therefore do not believe that this will be positive, especially since I have not noticed that one of the brands mentioned in the wiki has attracted attention with spectacular reboots or further developments in recent years - Darksiders 3 excluded.

Oh vey, baby, it has begun: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=Qz3u06eXf0E @Amadeus: Have you watched the first two episodes? I did not till now...I think I will wait for the DVD. I dare saying this series is even better than BB. This really breaks my heart. Why can't I be the one doing a show like that? It is so depressing!

The puzzles are partly really crazy. Did you finish the games without help? I recall the spiritual precursors "Labyrinth" and "Maniac Mansion". The first could be beat with logic, but Maniac Mansion already showed what the following Monkey Island games would include: illogical puzzles. Back then, I did not play 1,2 and 3, but "played" (with online help) part 4 around 2000. Loved the humor, the setting and some of the puzzles, but it was simply too crazy. I really want to love this series, but the developers made theese games much too difficult.

The definition of genuine joy:

Last year Psychonauts 2, and this year... https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=sahskKAxSCY Very, very surprising. It's kind of like they would announce that Elvis will rise from the dead this year.
