Those are very cool.

Hey all. I spoke to Biker and @nbohr1more about this but wanted to ask everyone participating. 
@Ansome@thebigh @xlm @Nico A.@jonri@Petike the Taffer @grodenglaive@Uncertain Title@DeTeEff
I had some time free up in October, potentially allowing me to finish Volta 3 for this. 

Would it be fair to enter this late? The mission's been in the works for a long time. 

At the end of the day, I just want to celebrate 15 years of TDM with everyone . Either by participating in this, or just releasing Volta 3 later in the month, around Halloween this year.

@kingsal
I´m not the one to answer your question 
but getting a mission from you - will be a wonderful way for me to celebrate 15YearsTDM

There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout the years
So bring your good times and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
Come on now

Celebration
Let's all celebrate and have a good time
Celebration
We gonna celebrate and have a good time

It's time to come together
It's up to you, what's your pleasure?
Everyone around the world, come on

Unfortunately I will have to back out of this one. I'm still months away due to mission creep.

[DeTeEff]

@kingsal I say shoot! The point of the contests are to get more missions to the table. 

 

If I can get this to beta soon I might be able to catch the deadline :) 

[thebigh]

Real life has been insane for me this year. I should still get my mission in, but it'll be another bite-sized mansion heist. Nothing spectacular, but I kind of like the "2010 TDM" retro look I've achieved.

[Uncertain Title]

IRL has been crazy for me this year as well, so I'll be cutting it close....REALLY close.

[thebigh]

Yeah, race to the finish line for me too. Luckily my mission is so small it won't need much beta testing

[thebigh]

Phew! Made it with 3~4 days to spare!

Could someone give it a quick play or two to make sure it's not broken? It's not big or complex enough to merit a full beta testing campaign but one person giving it a brief sanity check to ensure I haven't overlooked a mission killer would be very welcome. It should only take 20-25 minutes for a first playthrough.

send me pm

[thebigh]

Cool! PM sent. Hopefully it runs bug-free and I can submit tomorrow, with just days to spare

My mission is a nice simple beginner-friendly heist suitable for thieves ages 6-99.

I can't promise anything but I might be able to have a look into it tonight if it's a small mission. Sounds very promising! Please send a PM.

Hey, thanks for the offer but I already got a bunch of comments and was about to actually release it later today. So you'll be able to play the official version tonight. Make sure to give me a ping if you need your mission tested.

Okay that's all fine and I'm happy you'll be able to make the fixes and release it today. Thank you very much for creating a neat small mission (I prefer those over the long and complex ones)

I like missions of all sizes, lengths, and complexities. What I get a little tired of sometimes is every mission seemingly being a huge, sprawling masterpiece- as much as I admire those, sometimes I just want to spend a quick half hour breaking into Lord Frobbington's mansion and grabbing his treasure.

For me it's the same. I got time issues so I only got maybe an hour maximum in a week to play. So if I start a huge mission I don't know what I did the week afterwards. Missions I can play through in one session are preferred now. Maybe times will change as the kid grows older and I get more time again.

I just have to take care of some visportal/location stuff now...am I understanding that I can spend some more time working on it tomorrow before submitting?

(I won't need any betatesting, the map should be fine)
