Hi, I'm a new fan of the dark mod. Been getting my feet wet into C programming as an embedded programmer for an internship and hopefully will contribute as a coder in the near future.

 

I never played the original thief, but been a huge fan of tenchu series back in the days. I also loved the "new tenchu series" called shinobido made by acquire after the original series changed ownership to fromsoftware.

 

These japanese ninja games had terrible storyline and laughable english dub.

However, the AI was amazing. each playthrough was different. The sheer amount of ninja equipments was equally impressive - shurikens, caltrops, poison rice, smoke bomb, etc.

 

Anyways great job with the accomplishments of the dark mod. I especially love the AI. It feels like tenchu all over again minus all the assassinations and bloodshed.

I have played Tenchu Z and liked it quite a bit. It's a shame none of those games ever got released to the PC... :-/

 

Anyway, you've probably played mark of the ninja, right? If not, you should definitely give it a shot.

TDM could use some ninja or Japanese FMs.

JOtto's ninja FM for T2 was really good, so it's possible.

I scripted one out for Goemon, a famous medieval thief, but I always have too much going on.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

I played Tenchu on the PS2 years and years ago. I thought it was a great game at the time. Lots of fun/stealth/interesting weapons. Also enjoyed the trailer park mission with the ninja girls in No One Lives Forever 2.

Awww i was hoping mark of the ninja was 3d :(

 

That goemon mission sounds interesting. There was a movie based on goemon that i saw although it was more fantasy based.

 

Do you need any help with that fm? Although im not sure how much help I can offer since I'm still learning DarkRadiant by going through A to Z guide and trying to get TDM to compile on my linux pc.

 

Adding ninja elements to TDM is a personal project that I'm slowly working towards even though I have no background in game development.

I'd love to see some ninja themed missions, though I expect textures, music and voices to be the biggest hurdle to seeing that any time soon (oh and models :( )

      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?
