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)

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
