Behind Closed Doors
(Crucible of Omens Prologue)
After more than 4 years of development, the first mission from the Crucible of Omens campaign is out. This mission itself didn't take 4 years but rather it is one that emerged from materials culled from the other campaign missions. Far from being wonky scraps, the resultant mission is actually as large or larger than most of the other in-progress campaign missions. It is also far more polished so the team will need to work that much harder to match it's quality.
This mission easily demonstrates the larger size and scope that Thief 1/2 players were hoping to see from Thief: Deadly Shadows so it caps another milestone in The Dark Mod's inclination to illustrate what Thief fans wanted from a new Thief style game.
The mission will arrive in the in-game downloader soon.
I will also upload a copy here at Moddb.
This requires TDM 2.03 so you'll need to update to play it if you aren't on the latest build.
Looking forward to it.
I'm deciding whether to leave this until after the campaign has been fully developed or not. I've already done so with Drk's Une nuit à Rocksbourg series, a series that I've had the pleasure of playing just the first mission as yet, and I don't know if I can hold out for two campaigns. Ha! First world problems, eh?
OK, it seems that Biker got tied-up so here's an upload in the interim:
Moddb.com
If you don't want any funny business with future updates to the mission, just delete it from your FMS folder and get it from the in-game downloader once it's available there.
Mission is now in the in-game downloader.
Biker added a last minute minor fix to that one (because of OCD).
This is one hell of a reveal, should get people excited for the rest of the campaign although I prefer to play it all in one go.

Thief community never ceases to amaze.
T2X is the best fan-made expansion I've played of any game, and I just learned it's gone HD in 2015. What else has happened since I've been away I wonder.
At this rate Thief will never die.
