This map, gatehouse_final.map, was based on the very first mission I ever put together back in 2014. It was originally suppose to be part of Volta 1, but didn't make the cut.
Here it is now, refurbished, re-worked,  graphics set to HIGH, and....

Wait...

What is that... 

It's the music again... ohhh  the music!

update to mission

[joebarnin]

Great stuff! Very enjoyable mission. But 45 seconds, you gotta be kidding. I guess I'm no where near creative enough...(unless, by 'creative', you mean 'noclip' )

[Kopfrkingl]

Taffers hate him! Local thief solves neighborhood's sleeping problem with one secret trick!

Spoiler

Managed to disable it in 10 seconds on my second run. On my first I fell into the canal.

Great FM.

[datiswous]

This comes out of nowhere. I first thought this was an April 1 joke.

[Heuli]

Thanks for the great mission is better without music

 

 

 

[nbohr1more]

Now that April Fools is over, this has been added to the mission database.

[hightide]

I've never felt more connected to a protagonist in any media! (though in my neighborhood its vehicles with loud engines or loud speakers, or both...)

stats:

Spoiler

I managed to get 4/4 secrets but missed about 150 loot

 

[Tarhiel]

Just the FM I needed - and yes, the music is too loud where I live now

[Tarhiel]

Finished.
This mission is utter genius.
Never change, kingsal, never change.

Now I would be curious about how other people solved the creative limit of 45 seconds  

[datiswous]

Great mission!

Here are subtitles. Just plonk the file in the fm's folder and it works.

Me too. Also the other FMs which were released on the 1st of April.

Not a fan of speedruns, so, that optional objective will be just ignored.

Okay, I give up, I'm incompetent. Can someone post how they did the speedrun? Use spoiler text please - don't want to ruin it for anyone else.

Spoiler

I can't make the leap out of the window to the ledge. I can run and get the vine arrow and use it to get up the wall across the moat, but that takes me more than 60 seconds. What am I missing?

So I 

Spoiler

jumped from the open window in the starting apartment. It is VERY hard, but it is possible. That is the only way I've managed to complete the objective. spend a bit of time practicing the jump, but you can make it.

 

[boissiere]

I managed to do it a different way

Spoiler

I legged it from the apartment to the bonfire by the beggar, picked up the fire arrow, legged it to the canalside and shot the fire arrow through the open window!

 

[SeriousToni]

I am quiet confused.

Spoiler

I took my gear and sneak past the city watch, used the elevator, got up to the window where the music comes. But the room is empty, only a statue and a globe. I can't get the music off.

So far I liked the city area with its verticals and the home of the protagonist.

 

[datiswous]

Spoiler

Have you checked the electric boxes against the wall?

The room is suppose to be inaccessible, I think you got up somewhere I didn't intent for players to get to. 

Light hint: 

Spoiler

 Just head back down to street level and explore the area just after the electric bridge, where your neighbor's house is.  

Stong hint:

Spoiler

Go back down from where you are. After the electric bridge while facing the large metal gate, , make a right, go past the tree,  then take a left and get behind your neighbors building. Turn off all the electric boxes. There are four.

I got up from the stone wall in front of the window. There are a few higher brushes that made me able to jump and mantle into the window.

Thanks for your hints! Nice mission BTW

[chakkman]

Blasphemy!

one thing i tried  (by thinking out of the Box) for the time-limit ;
I changed to settings - audio - and pulled every loudness control - down to 0
the other (because a normal Jump doesn´t worked for me ; I committed suicide in the Channel

depends on the art of music 
for many (not only electronic) it´s often the best way to hear it

@kingsal why doesn't this work?? Why??

[snatcher]

1 hour and 45 seconds later I am 50% there (resigned mode)

[STRUNK]

YeeY, I succeeded the 45 second challenge!!
It's not hard at all : P
I'm not telling how ofc : )
 

Spoiler

But you have to make sure you have a running start .. ^^

Also, I like these "little" missions with extra challenges, like the quite common "secrets" (only found one so far) .. and a very rare "time challenge" only added to my enjoyment!

All of you "april fools missions" contributors: it was a real treat!
