So far, it goes in to the right direction, besides the charspeed - it is way to speedy for me - on the latest speed dot it's like beeing the Flash :D But other than that, i would like to recommend you you work on this and give future updates and release it on Steam or something. 

Will there be a FOV slider? Didn't notice any slider.

I experimented with an FOV slider.
Not sure how to solve that yet as there is vertical and horizontal FOV.

I will study how other games done it!

Can we have more scary Zombie Horror maps?

Those zombies with one eye only are already very scary. One of these fellows lies in front of a gate and I woke him up by accident during my first run. Almost got an heart attack.

They remind me of some other game...maybe "Soma"?

@Filizitas

I've made a basic article about your Delight project over at the Thief Wiki (under the category of Thief-inspired freeware indie games).

As part of the promotion, I've been thinking of uploading the screenshots you have of the demo to the wiki and including them in the article. But I wanted to ask about it first. Would you be all right with sharing those demo screenshots on the wiki, or rather not ?

Thanks.

All right, I'll wait until the 14th and see what you cook up. :)

The article is here. Aside from the three videos, it's largelly just headings, text and a few links, since I have not yet added the screenshots.

Good luck with the upcoming update.

Ok here you go, the game also had a name change due to legal reasons i want to avoid.

Thank you. I've noticed the name change. The promo screenshots have been uploaded to the wiki and the article, but only the latest screenshots, with the already altered name. (Sorry to hear you had to change it due to legal issues, but hey, you're inventive, and that's what counts. I like it.)

I suppose it's time I change the name in all the other instances as well. I doubt you'll be going back to the first iteration of the name, so I'll edit the stuff and add a note that Delight was merely a working title. :)

I need to follow this up as i was made aware of some stupid bugs.

- The intro cinematic was missing, that should be fixed now.
- You couldnt kill enemies on any difficulty, i hope that was fixed aswell.

After watching a video of a youtuber i decided finally that i have to spend some quality time with the AI.
Its behaving very irrational at times and needs to be expanded feature wise.

The link for the Hotfix is here!

Hey, hello, so glad people are having funsies!
Ive added 2 new videos showing some of the update improvements!
AI is starting to behave much better and i am getting a grip on the clunky elements!

Cant' watch the video because for some reasons Google wants me to create an account...what I won't do.

However, as far as I can tell from your twitter still, looks very cool! Donnerwetter and I am looking forward to seeing more!

From the twich video I understand that the story shall take place between the WWs? Hm, makes the usage of bow and arrow probably not the best choice...maybe switch to a crossbow and  add new arrow types, such as "The Tesla Arrow" with electro-shocking consequences! :)

What are your future plants for the project? Will you try to pitch this to a publisher like Deck13 (they have been mentioned in the twitch video as well) or will you stick to the plan with your own company and hire people (that's at least what I understand somehow  from the video)?

So many questions...and yet so less answers! :)

WW2 is just a setting here, i love tanks, guns and soldier stuff. I also found ww2 to be a fitting evolution to dark medieval settings.
We will see alot of rustic machines, industrial punk and bricks, lots bricks with cement!

The Electro is still only an idea, i didnt found any need for it yet, however a slot is reserved.

You can always ask more questions on the discord ^^

This really shows the age of the TDM engine and non-PBR materials. Looks like UE4 is a good engine for making thief-like games after all.

But if you want to stop people with the most basic lockpicking knowledge from facepalming hard, you have to watch some videos of the Lockpicking Lawyer.
You can't rotate the cylinder of a pin tumbler lock that much untill all the pins are set correctly.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
