You know what? The fact that TDM has been in steady development since 10 years with a lot of love and devotion and that it is completely free and solely community based, makes it very unique, a singularity in fact. I wonder why nobody ever tried to create a making-of / documentary style kind of video about it with interviews and such? :)

I'll be honest, years ago when work on TDM had just started and I had heard about it for the first time, I was extremely skeptical. Not because I disliked the idea or thought it wouldn't work, but I was convinced that development would just stall and the whole project would eventually die. So, thank you all, every taffer and taffette who sacrificed their free time and resources into the making of The Dark Mod, and kept patiently working on and on until we got the first fairly stable builds.

 

The Thief series couldn't have hoped for a better, technically more up to date homage than this one. And TDM is, without exaggeration, one of the best freeware, fan-made games of the present. You deserve every single bit of praise and every single award that you've so far gotten for all your dilligent effort. They were hard-earned accolades, hard-earned in the best way possible.

 

So, congratulations to all and thank you for creating such an amazing game, and in a well-chosen, quality engine. I waited for years to be able to play this as a complete standalone, but it was well worth the wait. :smile:

 

I have lots of missions to finish, lots more to look forward to on a moody autumn or winter night... And I already even have plans to help with further development. Small steps first, but hopefully I'll eventually work on something fairly big.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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