Fan Mission: Sneak & Destroy, by SeriousToni, Beginner's Contest 2012 - Update 11/2022

[SeriousToni]

Summary

Greetings dear friends! To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the release of my FM, I have published a (hopefully) worthy update to it. Version 2 of my FM called "Sneak & Destroy" uses many new features that have been added to TDM over the years, fixes numerous bugs that were overlooked at the time, but the FM still remains true to the original one. So if you had problems playing this FM lately, if you never played this FM or if you wish to revisit a tiny but lovely part of the TDM history, this update is for you! Download the latest version via the in-game downloader and celebrate the past 10 years with me together!

FM Update 2022

[SeriousToni]

Heading for the Beginner's Contest 2012 I recently learned how to use Dark Radiant and some additional software to make it through 4 months of building and now finally releasing my first fanmission for The Dark Mod.

 

As also seen in the Readme I want to thank Steve for his voice, the beta testers Bikerdude, PPoe and Sir Taffsalot. As well as the team members who constantly evolved a great modification that made all this possible. Last but not least the community which helped and supported me so much.

 

My thank you isn't just words - it is this mission, for all of you. Have a great time with it!

 

Best wishes

Toni

[PPoe]

Enjoy this great mission!!

[Thiefette]

Yay, something to do after supper.

[Baddcog]

Bring on the darkness, no thief can work in the mid-afternoon glare.

[nbohr1more]

Thus far...

 

 

 

GREAT MISSION!!!

 

This really sets the bar high

[PranQster]

Congrats! Downloading very rapidly... have about enough time for a quick bio break... then a new mission to play!!

 

* Strange, I did not register at that site at all. I just clicked the file link and it downloaded in about 2-3 minutes.

This mission is outstanding. Reminds me of why I need to stop putting fancy crap all over my projects and just concentrate and making something enjoyable. This FM has LOT's of great gameplay elements, and the

well designed environmental incentive for players to use moss arrows

deserves a goddamn standing ovation.

[PranQster]

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed playing this.

I only missed a rather small amount of gold, so will have to load my last save and find the rest.

 

Played on medium because I am addicted to KOs. I only missed 55 gold. I used only 1 water arrow (in the kitchen of all places) and 1 broadhead, and 0 moss... the rest was all blackjack. That is the only reason I voted Good on gameplay instead of excellent... I was not forced to use moss or noisemakers and found the AI easy to KO. I left one or two AI sleeping in their beds. All the rest were KO'd. Stealth score 0 with 6 level 1 alerts.

A 150 MB PK4 file? That's shaping up to be something serious! Too bad I just got to work and I can only start in the evening...

[betpet]

Oooh, something cool to find waiting for me in the morning. Will grab later

[SiyahParsomen]

congrats Toni!

 

I'm surprised minus can be used for file storage especially in this size. Downloading now...

 

btw. Bloodgate and Fidcal mirrors don't work fyk.

[SeriousToni]

 

Wow over 100 downloads in only 12 hours. I guess the community really hungered for some new FMs O.O Please share your experiences by voting and commenting on this FM, don't be afraid! Thanks a lot!

Thank you Siyah!

And thanks to whoever uploaded the FM to the mirror site, but it isn't working there. Try minus instead, until the broken links got fixed.

Btw is it possible to upload some more of the screenshots than just these two? Or is it spoiling too much?

[raymeld]

Thank you ST for all the obvious hard work put in.Looking forward to playing this on my return from holiday.

[Sir Taffsalot]

Congrats on the release ST! I'm not going to vote until I've played all the entries. I'm looking forward to playing the finished version over the wknd. I had a lot of fun beta testing this. I really hope we get a sequel with regards to this future job that the lady in the intro alludes to.

[Chiron]

Hey, a new TDM FM--yay!

 

Question

 

 

How do I determine which of the guests is the assassin?

 

 

[Diego]

Wait a minute.. that was not a couple of rooms connected. That was a great mission!

[Bikerdude]

Question

 

 

How do I determine which of the guests is the assassin?

 

 

It will self evident, just do a bit more exploring :-)
