Thank you, Anderson! One of these days I will check on those spiders. They may have broken.

I thought the spawning placement was intended this way.

Spoiler

I'm just not sure if some monsters like the spiders spawning in the secret room feel very convincing or just cheesy.

The jump scare with the spawn of monsters in the tomb and at the end of the labyrinth worked very well.

Not so sure about the spiders.

I think it's just the fact they are spawned at the corners of the chamber in a game-y way.

Just pointed these rough parts out because most of the mission is really good.

Perhaps it would also be good to create more loot inside the underground level so the player isn't blocked by not finding loot in the secret chamber on harder difficulties? Secret chambers should be a curiosity and not mandatory. But maybe that's just me  too casual. Because of loot missed in the graveyard I had to find the secret chamber. No way to backtrack and get it without cheats.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

I couldn't get the ring in the sarcophagus. I'm not 100% sure it can be done without cheating. Other than that, I had a lot of fun with this one!

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
