It's only a short mention. I didn't expect much more, since we are under development and they usually only mention mods when they are finished. I'm quite surprised that we were mentionet at all. :) I was writing an email about some other topic (John Carmacsk remark about the modding szene being dead) and mentioned our site as well. And the editor said he liked it a lot, and will mention it in the next issue. :)

The gaming mag I get, Computer Gaming World, has been continuously adding more and more stuff about mods, to the point where they actually review mods as if they were commercially released games. I definetly think we should send them a e-mail about us once we have something to show to the public.

This game has quite a limited appeal. Anyone who'll really be into this should already know about it from keeping up with the general Thief scene, or doom mod scene.

ALso, people tend to forget about unfinished mods very quickly. THey get excited about it, come to the site, see it's a year away from completion, ask some dumb questons, and wander off again.

What benefits do you think we get from having articles in magazines so long before we're ready to show anything, apart from the 'wow, we got like mentioned in a *real* magazine and stuff!!!!11' factor?

I guess it just boosts our ego to think that game magazine editors are interested in our game enough to print something about it, even though it's far from release.

In the current issue of Gamestar 12/08 there is another short article about us. :) While I consider that good, the article is a bit missleading. Specifically it says that we are at version 1.0. Otherwise it's ok. :)

 

Would be really nice if they contacted us to get their facts straight. :) Still, nice to hear.

Ah, cool, I have to buy that magazin then :)

I already bought it. :) Must see if I can scan the article somehow.

 

Hmmm... I considering renewing my subscription. I cancelled it some time ago, because I don't play so much anymore, but somehow I miss the news. :)

 

If you want relevant gaming news, go to http://www.thedarkmod.com/ :laugh:

 

Which issue has the article? I am trying to get hold of one either tomorrow or on Saturday, and I can easily scan it (yeah for multi-devices :)

I tried to buy it, but out of the four places I tried on 2008-11-29, only 1 carried Gamestar, and despite it not even being December, the already replaced the magazines with the January 2009 edition. WTF?

I know Christmas begins in November in retail-land, but that's just silly!

      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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
