Indeed. How your wind went beyond the second is somewhat miraculous.:-)

Finished the run today. Some observations: Big Shivan ambush is a toughie. Handled it fine with some insps. The bloodsucker I "rescued" hits HARD. Ambush on top of it and I died. Probably would've handled it fine had I chose to retreat and drag the group to me in nearby hall. Then I could've rezzed in mish if I died. Finale mish ran much smoother than I remember last time. Ended up with 3 allies as we did the Troll rescue chain floor-by-floor. Daniels had a nice moment at the end (finale text). OVERALL: Clean. Mechanically sound. Lot of nice details involving NPCs, esp. use of animations to show what they're doing. Nice use of dialogue there, too. Ambushes would be VERY tough for a non-exemplared character (though I think if you follow mainline quest, you miss some of them). Finished it without a hitch (save for that bloodsucker betrayer!).:-) Nicely put together. I'd like mish titles (or numbers) just to track my progress, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means. Only obvious thing I saw that you probably want to fix is missing searchbar text for "locks" in the New Skulls mish. It's just an empty red bar. Minor item, though. Overall, well done! Really liked that first mish.

I managed to run the first 2 mishes before having to go for an appointment. GREAT first mish. Ally spawns helped out a lot. Last ambush was a big one, but occurs after mish completion, so anyone who wants to bail can. Mish 2 also mechanically well done. I was grumbling about having to Find Exit, but located Blue Spectrum on the way out, so it made sense. Nicely done so far, kemosabe! I'll knock it out when I get back on.

Part 2 is “A Vendetta for V.” Part 3 is “Veillance.” I put in some text to Arc 1s description to direct to mish 2. Probably need an overall story name, so I can label it as such. Maybe story is Stalking the Detectives, with Arc 1 having its own title (something that begins with V, obViously):-)

Yeah, I read some announcement like this and I think: Attention! Attention! I am about to take a shit. A big, beautiful yuuuuge shit...EVERYONE COME LOOK AT MY SHIT!🙂

Chaotic Good:-)

You filthy bastard! How could you?!* *All good, man. We're all appreciative of the effort. Now get out there and eat those...foods...yes, FOODS. Normal foods. Not...baby food.:-)

Or my prospective new toon, Shiggles.:-)

I always assume that people are running characters who are exemplared down, and probably IO’ed (with attunes). That said, I do try to test my arcs with characters to fit the level. I can certainly see, and have seen, that customs are definitely tougher than your average bear. I am certain I have some pain the ass ones in earlier arcs, but have hopefully more balanced ones on newer arcs. (Again…hopefully…):-)

I’ll be checking out your runs, as usual. Thanks for highlighting the community’s creators!

My advice is to design the main narrative as solid as possible (the “must do”). After that, worry about the other stuff (the “would be nice if…”). There is, after all, nothing we can do but work with what we have.

You can create friendly NPC patrols, but they won’t be scampering. NPCs as rescues with the captors set to empty and the NPC trembling, then running off when you rescue them might work, but it’s limited. Unfortunately, there just really isn’t a way to achieve that effect you see in in-game mishes.

Whips Chains A lot more leather Something super frilly that… hang on… Um…wrong list…heh…(ahem)

You can set the mish to where the player must exit through the original entrance, rather than click to leave.

Could we finally see a stalking mastermind scrappatanking with a dominating control blaster set? HUZZAAAAAAAAAAH!
