Oszkár's little ideas. :)

Just for the record, I was making fun of "cool hunters," not necessarily graphic designers. I know some graphic designers that work hard and get paid little. As Orb said, the place to trim the fat is the "creative" people who get paid a lot to reject/accept random ideas from graphic designers and decide what is "cool." It's kind've like how in the early 90's, people were paying 100/hr for web designers to basically write HTML. We need a similar wake up smack to the face in the advertising industry. Also, I totally stole that analogy from William Gibson in Pattern Recognition.

Winkler Oszkár: Re: the TDM frob highlight I can assure you it is much more subtle compared to T2 which I agree was over bright especially in small dim areas.

 

There's this old video if you've not seen it. TDM has advanced beyond this but it captures the flavour...

The same applies to this also. To get a taste of playing TDM try HERE

I think a lot of the ideas revolve around customization of settings. I only now just realized how large of an issue customization in T1/T2/T3 have been when I just thought about all the mods made to change tiny settings in the game regarding graphical configurations to the hud and things like that. Chances are, if it's big in the Thief community it will be at LEAST taken into consideration by the mod team :) Our mod team rocks B)

You could always keep some keysettings customizable. Since it's a singleplayer experience anyway, everyone is allowed to tweak/cheat as much as they want. But I personally was never too picky about that kind of stuff. As long as it fits the whole experience I am fine. (Unlike Assasins creed with that super futuristic hud. Total dealbreaker!!)

Hehe, I will definitely enjoy the game and I can't wait for its release. But seriously, a futuristic hud in a kind of medievil setting?! I guess the first fan mods will replace that designmistake. How would you like if Crysis came up with a Thief-style Hud? It's the same problem!! :) It just kills the good atmosphere. Aside from that I think Assasins creed is coming along with a really great Atmosphere and definitely great gameplay...

Cool, good to see you think so too. Personally I think it looks good enough so far that the HUD wouldn't bother me. What really impressed me is the way the player anims blend in to each other and flow on from your mouse/joystick movements etc. Most of the time (in the vid I saw) watching him move looks like one long pre-animated sequence.

      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).
