I agree with you. Waiting is painful, fortunately as the story written in "read me" file, it looks interesting one.

So, still waiting

This one looks awesome, folks. Well done! Good choice of music, too.

It's a bit short, though - I've already finished. It feels kinda like when someone shows you a big box of candy, gives you one and then locks it away or puts it on the top of the wardrobe you just can't reach. I liked the sweet, of course - but I want more!

[Nightwalker]

How do you get the first objective to check off? I've been all through the crypts, picked up a book (which disappeared from my inventory as soon as I grabbed it) and found the way back to the streets. Everything is completed except that first objective.

[Preno]

You need to return home.

[Nightwalker]

Thank you! I had done that but not gone into that room, just the bedroom where you start.

I like this FM, I got to the part where the hammer is talking to a thief behind a gate and thought...that thiefs voice sounds familiar, then I realised it was me...!!! LOL. I completely forgot I did some voice work for Random, its so weird hearing your own voice, let alone in a game, classic :-)

Random, did you do the intro voice..? its very clear, no siblence and only a little popping from the mic. What hardware and software did you use to do yours..? I have a Logitech Ak5370 USB mic, and a cheap pop guard from maplins.

And how do i get into the keeper compound to find the father..?

[Bulgarian_Taffer]

This mission is perfectly made and will be one of my top favourites... If I find a solution of my problem. I feel like I'm playing Calendra's Legacy.

spoiler:

I went to the powerstation. What am I supposed to do there?

spoiler:

I have to find my father. Where is he? I got the note, but... nothing more.

spoiler:

I saw something like a secret door when I climber a ladder. How am I going to open this?

[Hotlyx]

BT,

spoiler:

you need to go for a swim first. Then exit power station window. Also, that door can't be opened from the outside.

[Bulgarian_Taffer]

BT,

No, no! I mean, I've already found the key to the station.

[Hotlyx]

BT,

spoiler:

exit the power station window... and have fun, but be careful!

[Random_Taffer]

Random, did you do the intro voice..? its very clear, no siblence and only a little popping from the mic. What hardware and software did you use to do yours..? I have a Logitech Ak5370 USB mic, and a cheap pop guard from maplins.

Yes, that was me. I know what you mean, but I hate the sound of my own voice. I have a pretty basic set up. A CA brand microphone and I use audacity to record my voice. That intro was recorded before I knew about sound filtering but I couldn't ever get it right again so I kept it.

I'm glad that the majority of feedback is positive so far.

Remember, this is only mission 1. The others are coming along rapidly. Mission 1.5 might be ready by December depending on whether RL gives me a swift kick in the nuts again.

[Bulgarian_Taffer]

Climbing that powerstation window is absolutely impossible.

Read the sign above the switch for a hint.

[Bulgarian_Taffer]

Locations of those

stones
...one is just lying behind a sarcophargus
...one is attached to a sarcophargus
...one is in the chest near the shattered wall at the very beginning of the crypt

Just finished it.
Great (but short) mission. Can't wait for the next part.

[phedre]

love the storyline! like how you interact with other characters. can't wait for the next installment!!!!!!!

[Acolyte6]

I think it sux without the black-jack !!

[chis]

Great mission. Excellent story, wish there was more of it. Looking forward to the next one!

Just a couple of things:

1) Messing around with the wood crates outside the inn can set the AI's off.

2) The "return when you are done" objective ticks off immediately. Shouldn't it tick off when you return to the inn after leaving the hammer crypts?

Edit: P.S. Nice to see some GOOD use of music in this mission.

[metal dawn]

Very impressive work, gentlemen. It will make waiting for the next part a trying experience.

I think it sux without the black-jack !!

You are not a thief in this mission. Did you pay attention to the storyline?

[Dawggon]

Very nice short mission....and, ta da,....I ghosted it! Oh, erm, guess everyone did.

Am I the only one that had trouble finding that

spoiler:

flippin' key to the electrical room? One of the 1st things I did was to jump in the water to have a looky...

Another troubling spot for me was

spoiler:

jumpin' on the window ledge of the electrical room.

Almost called it quits....almost.

Was there a point to

spoiler:

climbing up the pipe to reach the room with the man sitting in the chair?

Finished in an hour+ Wasted too much time on my trouble spots.

Enjoyed not having to fiddle with lockpicks on a stubborn door.

Looking forward to your next FM
