Congrats to Nomadman and TheDataElemental, and thanks to Brethren for organising. Started with Intertheft and what a polished FM - the place feels lived in (looks and sounds great) - enjoying my romp around the map so far :)

Congratulations to two new authors who managed to finish their entries on time and thanks Brethren for organizing the contest! I'm one of those who started building a mission for this contest but couldn't make the deadline.
I think there was nothing wrong with the theme or ruleset. This time there just wasn't that many entries but I'm glad that there's two new FMs to play! I will continue building my FM and will release it later on.

Lol, I've heard a lot of reasons for not wanting to use Dromed, but "too ugly" has gotta be a new one. :laff:
My reasons for not participating are that the theme didn't appeal strongly to me; any kind of restriction on story tends to kill my inspiration, and I also have another mission that I'm working on that wouldn't have worked for this contest anyway.
Just finished House of the Architect and that was great! Gigantic mansion to explore with tons of different routes and ways in, and a hefty dose of weird. Piles of treasure and a glut of richly-textured brush-based detailing. Felt like a cross between a Schlock mission and a Kfort mission.

Great to see new missions congrats to the participants!!
Is there another link to Intertheft the one here is not working at the moment??
Never mind I tried it again and it worked.

If you are an existing or aspiring FM author, some constructive feedback would be much appreciated.

I think a factor may be that most folk are now back in their place of work and there is not as much flexibility as in the prior year(s).
Regarding FM authorship for me personally, I am awaiting the new editor coming out as it's QoL improvements appear to be tremendous.

Congratulations on the releases!! And from two new authors on top of that! :thumb:
I have to be honest, I was also surprised to see only two entries for this long awaited contest, but I too think that many authors were just too busy (summer, other BIG missions, etc.). Still, very happy to see that we got new missions to play! Thanks alot for this! :)

I once again heartly express my gratitude to the two mission authors. So congratulations on the releases!
I played both and both of them are jawbreaking. Definitely a well-deserved addition to the top FMs out there. I liked Intertheft a little bit more gameplay-wise, but House of the Architect is huge and was amazing, too.
No spoilers, I´d heavily recommend to play them both. :thumb:

Intertheft is a very solid nostalgic T1 mission I enjoyed playing it!! Though the mission ended without me getting to an exit, I had only the bracelet to find and when I did the mission ended.:confused:
Thanks for a Great playing experience!!
