Calling all betatesters to take a look at my next offering, Down by the Riverside, a mansion and ship mission. One of the main design targets was ambience with some eeriness.

 

This fully includes the smaller mission that I had already sent to betatesting earlier - under the same name - as an entry for the Halloween speedbuild contest, fundamentally reworked and with an entirely different story. The original version of that contest entry did show signs of being a speedbuild, and I thought that the material therein could be used more effectively within a larger mission that's part of an overarching plot - which is what this mission is.

I would be happy to help out. A have quite the meticulous nature when it comes to these things.

 

I'm currently playing through all of the fan missions by date of release, from oldest to newest, and logging any issues I find and short review.

 

Finally completed the Heart of Lone Salvation. My god, what a mission... excellent however!

My Autoexec.cfg contains seta g_fov "65" and seta r_gamma "0.9" for a more immersive Dark Mod experience...



Always expert difficulty every time... all hail the Dark Mod mission authors!

Great, I can appreciate the extra testing power. The mission is a little larger than I thought.

 

 

Edit: looks like we're set with this group, thanks all who signed up.

This mission started its life as a standalone mission for a contest, so it takes place in a different setting and begins with its own story. There is, however, a strong link that'll become apparent during the mission. From a mapping perspective it contains several areas and ideas that I had originally intended for Of Brambles and Thorns, which is the bonafide sequel, but realised that they wouldn't have space there anymore. So this could be described as being neither sequel nor prequel, but around One Step Too Far, if you will.

Are you finished testing yet? Is it ready? Are we there yet? Just kidding, but I am so looking forward to this!

I expect to be buried in an avalanche of bugs by the time this weekend is over. Then again, I might have upped my game since the last couple times, and I did do some intensive bugfixing already. I'm glad to see you're awaiting it :)

The last version's going up later today, then it needs the blessing of the beta testers. (I suspect there's a handful bugs left)

      How fun is it to play as an undead in thief trilogy / dark mod ? The haunting(T2) and To the end with nothing(T2). Those FMs are exemplary according to me

      Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.
