Anyone played this? I'm giving my best to like this game, I love the idea! but it's so clunky and awkward and difficult.

 

I had two bugs during the short amount of time playing the tutorials. I think the fact that you control an animated model with a camera on top doesn't help much, you jerk all over the place, clip through things, get stuck on things. It makes Thief: deadly shadows feel smooth and fluid!

 

Besides bugs, there's so much stuff going on at the same time it's overwhelming. You control a guy that moves to a monitor central, there you see three monitors, each with a character you can control. Each with a different set of actions and skills and responsibilities. And everything coordinated to complete a mission. And then there's the whole radio signal gameplay! phew, talk about a learning curve.

 

Anyway, I'm still hopeful that I can learn the ropes on this game and enjoy it. The game already has my respect for being so original.

It's pretty neat. The multi-perspective squad gameplay concept goes back to an Amiga game called Hired Guns. There was an attempt at an Unreal 1 era game that was basically finished but never saw release since the team couldn't secure a publisher after Psygnosis left the PC scene.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
