The Dark Mod FM: "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane" Now Released
I'm happy to announce that my second FM, "The Last Night on Crookshank Lane", is now available on the Dark Mod Mission Database:
https://www.thedarkmod.com/missiondetails/?internalName=crookshank
Backup download is also available here:
https://share.anon-kenkai.com/crookshank.pk4
This is a much bigger and more ambitious FM than my first attempt, and it ended up taking a year and a half to complete. It was also a very educational lesson in the importance of proper map optimization. It's a sort of soft-sequel to "The Threepenny Revue", but not part of a series per se, and can be played as a standalone mission.
I took inspiration from FMs like "The Painter's Wife" in TDM, and "The Sound of a Burrick in a Room" from Thief Gold, and although I'd never put myself in the same league as either, I was always impressed by their size, scope, and detail. City exploration FMs have always been my favorite, and those maps and others like them inspired me to take a crack at something similar.
