I'm playing around with an idea for this contest, however I'm not exactly sure if it would adhere to the rules.
If I were to create a mission based on the concept of "The Lost City" (TG OM), does that require an objective to "steal the fire talisman", or would an objective to "steal the water talisman" work as well?
I know that sounds like nitpicking, but the examples given by Akaiā¢ indicate to me that the quest items must be exactly the same?

See Brethren's post above:

Keep in mind the real intent here is get some strong community participation, so don't overthink the rules too much, no one is getting disqualified.
So yes, that would be a fine concept for a mission.

It´s so great news to hear that a new contest is in the work! Good luck and a big advanced thank you to all the participants!! :)

Great to see this :) Interesting to see that less limitations seem to be more confusing but I guess after most of the contests having very clear defined rules/limitations this time it can be confusing. My interpretation is - pick a OM - create something according to your imagination/interpretation/skills - as long as the oroginal mission that inspired you is recognizable and clear to identify no matter if it's the objectives or the map like in this example (which I actually would love to see - great idea) and of course use the possibilities of NewDark

A while ago I tought of a mission in which you start in the same room as in A Keeper's Training, but this time a
different door opens and a whole new set of trials awaits you on the other side. I wouldn't mind someone using this concept.
So all in all - just do what you want but give the mission some obvious credit somehow ;) good luck everybody and thanks in advance for your hard work on this - can't wait to play them and of course discuss them :)

The essence of the contest is that authors can chose one mission from all 4 thief games and create your own version of this mission.
Oh yeah could you guys please recreate all of T4 missions in a good way and please add your thoughts and ideas to the story and characters :D worst case - it's still better than the original</username>

Agreed!
The best quote ever about that game : "Thiaf (2014) - this game wouldn't be worth your money even if it shipped with a brewery and a brothel"
With that said I won't complain if someone re-creates a portion of something from that abomination in new-dark.

I remember Digi commenting prior to Thief 4 being released, saying something like "Thief 2014 will leave all Thief fans longing for Thief Deadly Shadows." And he was right.

so finally we got some Thief (201)4 bashing in here as well :rolleyes: we can now move on with the discussion about the contest ;)

Okay let's move on but just one more question: why would T4ief make you long for deadly shadows?
Btw I'm very excited about this, it'd be the first contest since I finally joined the forums. Can't wait to play!
