AKTUALISIEREN 1. Januar 2022:    
My latest Thief 2 mission is now released. Ravensreach is a lo-fi dungeon crawl through a snow-swept mountain fortress in search of an abominable tome of blood magic. On the trail of the previous band of adventurers to have dared the castle, you will find yourself facing creepy new enemies and exploring labyrinthine, dark tunnels. With chunky polygons and crisp pixels, with this level I’ve tried to evoke the strange surrealism of the original Thief: The Dark Project and its contemporaries. There’s a chill in the air. Dark deeds await… Check out original thread here!
AKTUALISIEREN 22. Dezember 2021:    
Inspired by the wonderful trailers for the Black Parade, I've put together some ambience from my own upcoming mission:

https://www.thiefguild.com/videos/34352/ravensreach Check out original thread here!
info ANMERKUNGEN:     - This mission contains a lot of spiders and spider-related shenanigans. Arachnophobes be warned!
- This mission has been deliberately designed to be lo-fi in style. It is highly recommended to
disable all mods and texture packs so as not to clash with the intended experience.
- I have disabled texture filtering by default. If your eyes can't handle the crisp pixelly look,
you can disable this by opening fm.cfg and putting a ; in front of the line that says:
tex_filter_mode 0
- Requires New Dark version 1.27 or higher.
- New mantle should be turned ON. It should be set automatically by fm.cfg but if you get stuck
somewhere, it's worth checking this setting in your cam_ext.cfg.
- You can probably climb where you're not supposed to if you really try.
- Sometimes the AIs can get stuck here and there, particularly if they've been fighting each other.
- If you encounter any completely invisible (rather than partially visible and shimmery) enemies,
ensure that use_d3d_display and d3d_disp_enable_distortionfx are enabled in cam_ext.cfg

"The sanctuary violated; thorns o'erflowing,
Suffer not the living to pass.
The lifeless crawl to choke the light,
Dry pages flutter in the dark..."

Keepers... I can't seem to avoid them no matter how hard I try. It took all of my patience to get some sense out of the man. It seems the Keepers' prophecies speak of another dangerous book, one that they've tasked me to recover... for a price of course.

Some years ago, three brothers got their hands on the Book of Thorn, a volume of blood magic and one of the sister tomes to the Book of Ash. Deep in their ancestral mountain fastness of Ravensreach, the brothers argued and fought over who should get to use the Book's unholy powers.

Reaching a stalemate, they locked the Book away deep beneath their stronghold, and agreed that none of them would act until the others were dead. There the brothers and their retinues remained, each locked in his own part of the fortress, each plotting to outlive his fellows and secure the book, while to the outside world, the fortress of Ravensreach became known as a haunted place, dared by none.

Recently, a party of heroic adventurers, led by the celebrated knight Sir Haldorn Redcloak, vowed to rid the fortress of its evil presence. For the Keepers, whether they succeed or fail is of little consequence; what matters is that the Book of Thorn doesn't come to light and begin spreading its
corrupting influence once more.

My task is to follow Sir Haldorn's trail and recover the Book of Thorn before it's unearthed by less careful hands than mine...

There are many words for missions, but one word really describes this mission. Ambiance. From the falling snow to the crumbing ruins in the courtyard to the almost Escher-like fortress layout to the spore infested mushroom areas to the elegant hallway pillars to the creepy as f*** monsters and endless spiders who hunt you, this mission is top ra...

I want to start off by saying that this is an amazing fan mission. The atmosphere and level design are great, and the new enemies, while basically being reskins, are still incredibly well done. The first time you see one of those giant, pale-white, red-eyed, sharp-clawed yeti things, you will need a change of pants. And that's just getting thing...

Ta Fmka jest po prostu arcydziełem. Łączy w sobie cały pakiet tych ulubionych, sprawdzonych atutów thiefowych misji, a od sobie dorzuca całą masę nowych smaczków i wszystkie podaje na ornamentowanych talerzach. Łał! Aż ciężko znaleźć tę najlepszą, najważniejszą rzecz, aby od niej zacząć.

To może od takiego drobiazgu, jak monochromatyczne menu...

The mission in question takes us through an ordeal in a haunted snowy castle in the mountains. Our objective is to grab a cursed book from the place for the Keepers, (optionally) find out what happened to members of the previous expedition to this place (some nice DnD references!), grab some loot, and get the hell out. And while the premise seem...

I don't like key hunt missions.
I don't like when previously non-existent enemies appear when you trigger something.
While this mission have all those two aspects above...... I can't help, but admire it anyway - since this is an expertly crafted mission. Varied areas, interesting enemies, lots of great details everywhere! One of the greatest ...

Highly recommended level. For fans of FMs such as Catacombs of Knoss, Gems of Provenance, Tomb of Saint Tennor, Broadsword of Sheol, Bloodstone Prison, and Ascend the Dim Valley.
