Thanks for the updates, Phantom! There seem to be quite a few missions in the works right now.
Indeed! I'm especially excited to see some veteran authors back at work, like Sensut and Tomi.
Some screenies.
The 1st mission in the campaign proceeding well and should be back in alpha test this week. I hope to have it in Beta by August.

Hello,
Glad to see a msg from Phantom. Thank you for a reminder.
My mission 'The Best FM' was pretty much finished a long time ago. I got it in an alpha state, then modified a bit more. Unfortunately I never got down to fine-tune the last bits, expand some areas and add more objects, as these were the plans.
So I'd say it's still in alpha. It's extremely tough for me to say what are the plans. I'd like to release it one day, yet I have no idea when.
The idea for this mission was really cool and I bet it would entertain Thief community. Although the mission itself was nothing special - I wanted it to be small, but a solid piece of work.
Vasmarok's fan mission in development - entitled Back on the Streets - has been removed from the upcoming list.
There has been no news since April 2010 so I asked Vasmarok if he could post an update. This is what he told me:
Let us hope he will return to finish the FM someday, as it looks very impressiveUnfortunately, the mission is currently on hold. My current job (teaching at a medical school) is taking most of my time and I have little time left for Dromeding or anything else. I worked on one room maybe a couple of month ago, but nothing I would consider significant. If you'd like to remove the mission from the list, it's OK with me, and hopefully one day I can surprise you with some new screenshots.
Best wishes
Vasmarok. The preview screens the author posted over the past years can be seen here, here and here.
Hey The Phantom,
I found recently this site on the internet. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/morrgan/projects.html It's about Morgans Projects. I was really impressed by those screenshots so I checked the Upcoming / abadonded FM List to see the progress status. Unfortunately, I couldnt find any information. Do you know something about the project? Morgan wrote on her webpage that she is almost finished so I thought you would know if and when there will be a release date.
Check the date of the last update to her site and I think you'll have your answer.
Yes, consider that mission abandoned, Garrett (at least I deem it unlikely it will be released someday). Sadly Morrgan has retired from dromEd.
Lord of the Thieves Part 2 by Cavalorn, the successor to 'Attack of the Orc', is removed from the upcoming list, as the last public update dates of November 2009.
The removal should only be temporaily though, as the author is still working on the second installment of his series
About my upcoming FM: of course it is still being in progress and I'll finish it, that is for sure.
Unfortunately I've been a bit busy lately due to exams and such, and my biggest problem is that I had to scrap a big part of the mission which I'll have to start over again. This made me a pretty big
setback, but I won't give up. Fortunately I'll have a lot of spare time in the summer holiday so I can work on my FM with full speed again.
I don't mind if you remove the post until I can actually post some screenies or even some information about the release date. I am really not sure about the progress percentage, but I know that I still have much work to do. I'll try to release some screenshots in the summer. I'll update you as soon as I can.
Regards,
Csongor

So, updates....
First, Xavier's is still not done yet, something I can only apologise profusely for.
In my defence, my estimate of the early part of 2011 was based on assumptions about time availability that ended up quite hilariously incorrect (see also: jury duty, followed by having to move, followed by HR screwing up and leaving me doing my job and most of a co-worker's for three months, followed by Important Projects, and more.) For much of the first half of the year I had little or no time to work on Xavier's Library or Shadowed Mayfield, beyond sketching out ideas and little bits of object work.
Things have calmed down a bit (for now, at least!), and recently I've been getting back to working on both, if somewhat sporadically. I had a few ideas for changes and additions to Xavier's, so I've been working on them and generally trying to nail down the remaining parts of the sewers, clock tower, [CLASSIFIED], and [NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR CURRENT SECURITY CLEARANCE]. Mayfield has had some rebuilding done to take advantage of techniques I've picked up working on Xavier's; no dramatic progress, and Xavier's is still my focus, but a few areas are tighter now and easier to work on.
I'm reluctant to give time estimates for Xavier's at the moment, partly out of the fear that, if I do, the next thing I hear will be the whistling sound of the next shoe about to drop on meBut yes; I Aten't Ded, nor are my missions, I'm just working away at them kinda slowly at the moment (which is better than not at all, I hope.)
The summer is over, the holiday is over, back up to the work and to 'Ed. I try to revive an old abandoned mission of mine what I stopped half ready on its time. Will be a haunted castle mission. The first test can be watched here..
That is looking superb
Looking fantastic, Sensut! I trust it'll finish up with your usual lashings of creepiness
That looks incredibly inventive and beautiful, Sensut! I've just added the mission to the upcoming list.

Just wanted to say thanx again for your continuous updating of this important thread, Phantom.
It's very much appreciated
I agree! Thanks very much Phantom!
I appreciate the encouragement, guys. Thanks!
Sadly the FMs that dissapear from the list lately (often due to lack of news) outnumber those that get added. Hopefully some more authors decide to announce their upcoming FMs for listing in this thread.
I guess I'll bite, even though I wanted my mission to go from 0% to 100% in one day.
My mission is called: Lurksie See, Lurksie Do.
Thief 2 FM
I've never done any other mission.
The mission is 'in progress' and being worked on with great passion and vehemence. Full speed ahead. However, I'd say it's only at about 40%, though it's hard to judge really, having never done this before. Screenshots are about a month away.
Release date: really pushing for the end of this year, but you know how it goes.
I think it could be classified as a rooftop mission and is primarly puzzle-based (on the hardest level).
I've included dates in front of the latest news links for every author in the list.
This should give a clear indication of when an author shared/posted the latest news concerning his upcoming project(s).
On another note: I've updated the Rules & Regulations for the thread. The terms for posting screenshots have been altered (see #6) and the part concerning 'reporting updates' (see #7) is rewritten and expanded.
