You can stack crates, or even just jump & frob.

Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you liked it.

That was cool. It was fun for me to watch a playthrough by someone with a completely different playstyle to my own.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This is why I hate hate hated the 2014 Thief reboot. Among other reasons. So much jank, pointless excessive head bob, and slow tai chi animations you had to sit through.

I find myself getting stuck a lot too. Some of the worst offenders are the sheet-covered furniture pieces, or any sort of clutter in the corners of a room. Since corners are usually nice shadowy places to hide, this can be a problem. I wonder if collision detection can be improved a bit, without introducing exploitable side effects.

Thanks for the encouraging feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree with you about the stark lines of the factory and occasional mismatching seams- this is something I'm aiming to do better in my next mission. The guard you mention is very thorough, but he also has a very long patrol route so the observant thief should be able to avoid getting cornered. A few people have mentioned how hard the loot is to find so I'll put up a few hints in my OP.

I'm pleased to announce my first ever mission, The Factory Heist. If you're in the mood for a short but challenging and intricate mission I'm confident you'll have some fun with this. Title: The Factory Heist Short description: Workers at a factory have unearthed a buried building beneath. Sneak in, find a way down there, and loot it for antique treasure! Filename: factoryheist.pk4, now also available on the in-game downloader Author: thebigh Date of Release: 12 September 2020 Version: 1.0 EAX: No Dark Mod Version: 2.08 Content warning: No spiders, no undead, no rats, just one skeleton hand Many thanks to my beta testers: Cambridge Spy, Vanished One, Wesp5, PranQster. Be sure to read the little book in Lukas Dunbar's office Screenshot: Help, I can't reach the loot goal:

Well then, I know what's going in the display case next.

Neat little mission... very creepy. Finished with a perfect stealth score but only 645 loot, and I had a few dicy moments avoiding the red flashlight ghost, and I did reunite Olivia and Penny.

Enemies respawn, at least in some areas. If you're running low on supplies you can clobber a few mimics or operators (be careful) and loot their corpses.

Acolyte6,

Congrats on the release. It was a fun mission to test and I know a lot of people are going to love it.
