      I wouldn't call myself active in regardence to TDM development, as most of the things I've been working on are laying asleep at the moment.

      We'll see. I thought that as well the last time I'd layd hand on it ;)

  2. sneakybastards.net/theobserver/thief-hands-on ... It's all true. It's over.

      I would think Arma2 would have taught devs that PC Gamers are willing to put up with absolutely horrendously glitchy interfaces with too many hotkeys and huge learning curves... if the gameplay is right.

      But Thief4 is first a console game at heart, and I don't even mean that metaphorically.

      it reads as thou its based on a thief version of the last tomb raider game. that had quick action moments and cut scenes while it loaded the next section.

  3. Horrific Gameplay Reveal? You Got It... One Particular Out Of The Many? You Got It: Constant Immersion Breaker? You Got It! Hands! Everywhere! Always! ... & I've been very critical, yes, but always optimistic as well.

      Steele should begin roaming the city of Bridgeport itself in the spring of 2013.

      Haha Siyah - I guess we must call him then "Belial" :D

  5. "How do we make tool use acceptable and cool behavior?"... By not bothering with "uncool" crap like "stealth score"? Yes. Play _your_ game for _yourself_.

      I think it's not because the score itself, people just enjoy having a good execution. The score is just a way of knowing how well you did.

    3. Springheel

      Springheel

      Who is "punishing" people for using tools?

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      Punishing refers to the stealth score. It's similar like people complaining about a punishment of there playstyle due to "no kill"-restrictions :D

  6. "Solar Escape" works now. Nice mission. It is great to see a new FMA who just built a mission, didn't get carried away; or distracted by putting up in-progs only to be "you-oughta"ed; and basically just done and sweet! (also, I figured muchandmany out about the LOUD ambient).

  7. Randomizing things ruins the _GAME_. A slight-tweak bit of it is good, but otherwise it ruins the _GAME_. This is not "test your luck"... press F9

      Sotha

      XCom: enemy unknown (the original) battlescape? That's no rogue-like. Nor is Space Rangers 2. These just don't work without the randomization. My point is: randomization of the correct aspects can actually enhance a game to completely new level!

    3. Springheel

      Springheel

      Randomness is good in certain places and bad in others. You can't make blanket statements about it.

  8. The GAME here is Thief (TDM); The "things" I mean are gameplay (eg. AI behavior)...But on to: What is up with Sly? Johannes?

      I've got a Yohannes screenshot as my desktop background. I hope he finishes his FM.

      I haven't seen progress in the Sly project's dropbox since 2010.

      He was going to use stuff not exactly compatible with int'l copyright law (No, he wasn't using Thief IP) so I stopped contributing.

    4. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      Trying to make a 5 part campaign for your first FM making effort probably isn't a good idea. Even if you are getting help from other people.

  9. YES! GODDAMN IT! 40 XP for a headshot is _exactly_ a reward for violence. What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With You? ... Motherfucking people are not only begging to be lied to they are bending over backwards to lie to themselves.

  10. Tho I often fret to myself and aloud about Biker's revisions... I am expecting the CGv2 will have been a worthiness! Congrats to ERH+ & Biker.

      Bikerdude

      I started out just upgrading the visuals, then ERH came up with new things to do in the mission, so its safe to say this is pretty much a new mission compared to the polish original.

    3. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I wish Biker would make more new missions too. In his defence he does an awesome job of helping new FM authers get their mission out the door. I was one of them so credit where credt is due.

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      Isn't he part of the crucibles team? Then he is creating new missions.

  11. I see (by cautiously {no spoilers!} only looking at the 1st post) that "Not An Ordinary Guest" is going to need a 1.01; is this imminent or soontobe or tabled or whenitsdone or awaitingthextianapocolypse or, even further afuture, awaitingTDM2.0 ( ;) )? Thanks.

      NAOG was built for TDM 1.08. It actually seems better in 2.0 with more responsive AI...

      Everything will be better in 2.0. :)

      Are you sure they were chests? Maybe they were those briefcases with the different closing sound?

  12. Will the apologists now see what is wrong? What with this latest ugly, (wrong... wrong... WRONG) blogging ("Looking Back..." ) from EM's chosen voice, GI? http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/03/18/looking-back-at-one-of-the-series-that-defined-the-stealth-genre.aspx ...

      The article about Thief I, II and gold is very good, couldn't see anything wrong with it. However, there is not a single mentioning of TDM :(

      (And what moron designed their website/database backend? The article is from 18.3.2013, but the comments are from 26.7.2012 ? Huh?

      [This article was originally published on July 26, 2012] end of first paragraph, would explain the comment dates.

  13. No support what.so.ever for the sickening, ugly, grubby betrayal. No. ..... Rather, the Thief Community ought to unmistakeably demonstrate our disgust in such a way that it is resoundingly felt, understood, and not to be forgotton. Taffers!!

  14. "Old Habits (Rebuild)" by Obsttorte? Awesome! Gameplay-wise, right up there with "Deceptive Shadows" and other greats. Very nice otherwises too (Aethetics & Story). Defintely top 5 of all-time... I must've played the original (I've played them all! {almost}) but I didn't recognize it at all. Highly, highly recommended.

      @LZ, dude dont take this the wrong way, but can you limit the amount of "status update" you post as most them don't need to go here..

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      I agree. Create a new topic "why I love FM's by Obsttorte", mista. :D

    4. Lux
  15. You know... I rage, and rattle and hum; and then I watch one of the GI videos of the people behind the production, and I feel it's quite nice to see them dedicating so much to Thief. And then I love humanity. I am a people person.

      A person that thrives among other people. Extrovert rather than introvert. Prefers company over solitude. Proficient in social skills like empathy, persuasion and manipulation.

  16. You gotta have fucking "taffer", man... not fucking "fucker"... and I'm serious. THIS (suggested by the RPS write-up today) will be a 10 out of 10 on the disappointment scale...

  17. Seeing as how I am the best at Thief -- and, so, the best TDM player and also by further extension, beta-tester -- I suppose I would be happy to beta-test 2.0 alongside "WS2: Home Again".

      I never got into BSD, though I've installed it once or twice. This is another reason to check it out.

      The BSD's arn't for everyone, but within their goals, simple code and mailing lists lies a lot of goodness and simplicity. I love the underdogs. Anyhoo work will be Linux friendly too. Portability is a cornerstone for good code.

      You just repeated back the same link (neither of which work as (mis)formated)... what I'm really meaning to point out is that there are many missing TDM FMs once you do get the list. "32 results returned."

  20. My post, which is nothing more than praise for ShadowHide's "Deceptive Shadows" has been censored. How petty, eh?

      In fact, if it's from Sept. 17, I still see it.

      It's still visible.

  21. Once again, purposefully-petty censorship: Springheel selectively left my post about "Dishonored" while selectively deleting my post in praise of "Deceptive Shadows".

    1. Springheel

      Springheel

      If you're talking about the yet-another-new account you created, all the messages should have been deleted when I deleted the account. Which I'll be doing to any other new accounts I find from you.

      Remember, it is an interesting challenge to be nice towards other people.

  22. Where/what is the ambient that plays when in-game but saving or otherwise paused? Too loud for my liking; want to turn it down. Thanks

  23. Add some and then trim also blue is a bit and that would never. But otherwise really great! Hope to see more screenies in a year or two where you can expect another round of stiffling-what-little-life
