Wine Business was my first attempt at a Thief level, made using the DromEd editor, originally released back in 1999 !!
Although never finished, this served me very well to learn the editor, practice stealth design, and learn about general Thief metrics, systems and beats. (Video unrelated)
Development currently halted. In-game screenshots as of June 6th, 2025.
Visual references for the level, mainly for the unfinished bathhouse.
The two first drawings from above describe the starting area and flow of the first minutes of the level, jumping across rooftops, balconies, windows... The third is a first concept for the bathhouse (the white building shown on the screenshots at the top)
← This, on the other hand, is a bubble diagram of a rework I was planning for the bath-house, making it the main focus of the mission, instead of just a landmark.
This design is a concept for the first floor. All the annotations are in Spanish, but still, this is heavily inspired by both Thief 2 and Dishonored levels, as it takes most of the gameplay from the first, and the structure and gameplay beats from the latter, such as having small secondary "tasks" scattered across the new area.
