So I'm sitting here downloading some more maps and thinking of what other unique locations could be the basis for a TUT map. The key of course it to make sure that the locale fits into the Thief universe, so something like an alien base on another planet wouldn't fit, but submarines and airships would. It was then that I started mulling over some steampunk stuff in my mind before I came across a brilliant idea.
A steam-powered rocket ship.
It would make for an interesting and unique locale, plus it fits okay with the Thief universe. You could either go the whole hog and have the Thieves stow aboard the rocket ready to strike while it's in orbit, or perhaps the thieves could infiltrate a secret rocket test facility and sabotage the ship before it's first test flight. It' no more far fetched than the submarine base from Thief 2 and I think it would be fun to run around the bowels of a huge Victorian-esque spaceship; everything would be dark and gloomy, steam erupting from pipes and the vast empty blackness of space beyond the portholes.
Does anyone else think this would make quite a nifty little level?
