Did you find the loot?

If you've got $199 loot and then pick up a trophy worth $250, would that entitle you to two saves?

Yeah, I think it's about time we thought about the next contest.

I gotta say, I had a blast making a room for this.

I couldn't figure out the pattern either, and I bumbled through it through random luck.

Yes, I definitely think Vol. 2 needs to be arranged in ascending order of difficulty. I actually had more trouble with the first mission than with Colossus.

"Someone's been gassed? Welp, better jump off a cliff then." hehe

That mission is "Exhumed" by Airship Ballet and Kyyrma. But I don't recall that the baddie could follow you up the ladder. IIRC it can follow you up the winding tower staircase but not onto the roof.

Hi @Klatremus! I lost access to my TTLG account ages ago unfortunately, I don't receive account recovery emails for some reason, and it'd feel wrong to sign up a sockpuppet account. But I'd be more than happy for you to copy or link this report:

Haha! Victory! Perfect supreme ghost! I knew it had to be possible. Didn't even need the rope arrow in the end. Hey @Klatremus, I know this mission is short and old and visually a bit on the blocky side, but I think outsmarting the Factory to get to the side room on the catwalk is a challenge you might enjoy. Tight guard patrols, lots of clanky metal, few shadows. The solution I found was pretty counterintuitive, so I think you might have fun.

I always preferred Revision to GMDX. I liked that it was fair to both Garrett and Rambo playstyles, much more so than GMDX which seemed to favour combat much more.

This is, I think, one of those times when gameplay fun outweighs strict realism. There's already missions where static readables are placed under unextinguishable lights, giving you the thrill of a brightly lit library heist without having to have the player lug candles around. But this'd be a cool idea for a mission: an ancient inscription (custom graphic decal) in a zombie-infested crypt that can only be read by the light of a blazing pagan orb (decal as a func_static turns on only when the orb is nearby). I think this would have to be a per-mission thing, rather than applying to Dark Mod generally.

Unpopular opinion: we don't need remakes of classics. We should get remakes of games that had cool ideas but were executed horribly.

All we've seen are screenshots. We haven't as far as I'm aware seen any gameplay videos or soundtracks, so how it looks is about all we can talk about right now. And, let's face it, it looks horrible.

They're right though. It looks hideous. PC gamer hit the nail on the head in describing it as "bafflingly shiny, alarmingly bulbous, strangely smooth" It doesn't look like Deus Ex, it looks like the Deus Ex exhibit at Madame Tussaud's.
