I'm gonna update this soon as there's a whole bunch of newer places missing.

Leamington Spa was formerly host to a company called FreeStyleGames Limited - they've recently been acquired by nUbisoft (reflections) and had the team expanded, churning out more nUbisoft TC franchise.

It's a crying shame that the industry has become what it has become today but... when I sit down and play a game and think... "wow this is so much like xxxxxxx" - if I think about it, it comes from the same family and often involves the same people in creating it as the game of which it reminds me.

Don't have SE / IO on there...

This is why independant projects such as TDM and freemakes of older games in newer engines (eg, hitman / covert action / simant) are so important.

They keep the industry fresh with games that don't fall into the "let's get the graphics as great as possible and make everything square and linear and mapped for controllers", while at the same time being dismissed as "only a mod".

Well - one mod, Brytenwalda for Mount and Blade - the creators of that went on to release the Vikings DLC that sucked big time on release and took a year or so to get right.

Thanks TDM team for making DR and TDM.
It's a great job and it's eternal.

60fps physics only:P

Merry xmas and new years to everyone, happy new years and merry xmas to all the orthodox and screw the rest of you for not beliving in santa claus' birthday. Heathens.

I just found this in an old folder and thought I'd share it. It's nice to know that even Creative Assembly and Bohemia Int. are being screwed by the same company as everyone else.

(PS, Don't ever work for SEGA - they offer zero hours contracts for most positions - go straight to the developer's HR, not through the publisher)

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
