We have no idea how to make movies:

Buying and selling is not a fundamental human right.

Sounds more like a first world problem to me. There's thousands of alternatives starting with Google Drive, to OneDrive to anything. Mega had some legal problems if I'm not mistaken as well as some other similar service the name of which my mind is slipping on. Anyway PirateBay or any other such service has not done anything that useful for this world unless you live in the third world or are too poor if you need a moral justification for piracy and whatnot. The one who searches finds I guess. That's why these services are free. They have policies of their own too after all. Otherwise Google hadn't carried on to this day.

No. At least I don't think so. I would call a depressing game GTA IV's story or Max Payne 1's story. Or that weird indie game "The Path". Also Silent Hill. Pathologic is not like that. If you need a point of reference you can take Don't Starve gameplay wise - minus the crafting of buildings. Pathologic would have more in common with Stalker for instance. It's more of a melancholia ( pleasant one) and stoicism more than anything else, to me at least.

The remake of the old game makes more sense because the translation to English is now revised. It is also available up to this date, 12.05.2017 in Polish and Italian on GOG and Steam. To me it's like the Solaris of cinema of Tarkovsky Or the Stalker, Mirror of the same author. As Ingmar Bergman can be for video games when it comes to other indies in this industry of such new and bold approaches.

Try both if you can. The remake of the old game and the new game are different things and they will not have the same content. What was made in 2005 had a certain amateurish bravado approach that a first timer indie game company could afford. The new one is a moral obligation towards the people who contributed on Kickstarter. Ergo a totally new level of expectations and responsability. I love both as they are labours of true love of the devs towards building experiences they believe in. And I believe that this stuff is the future of video games. Video games don't have to be fun. We're going in uncharted waters of new experiences.

You can try using another AV after the Kaspersky license expires to compare stuff and see if it works better for you. ​I tried different Kaspersky versions from circa 2008 and stopped using it from about 2011-2012. The services constantly change but I think what never changes about Kaspersky is the excessive sensitivity to everything. Even something harmless. Unusually sensitive even for an AV.

It's not a bad screenshot.

The best source are E.A. Poe stories. Lovecraft is fine too but not for my taste. Also ”The Fly” movie if you can stomach that kind of thing. But good and creative material.

By the way this issue is in the bugtracker for a while: http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=4060

Some vintage videos on Thief interviews with the team. The german one are without dub or subtitles during the interviews themselves. The second one is real nice covering both Thief 2 and Thief Gold. ​By the looks of it, pretty unseen videos and underrated IMHO.

What's to say? It's really swell! ​You made them really fast to be honest. I think more people will see them in a prolonged period of time. You know, what's posted and written will be forever immortalized here. This module set combined with tutorials like this goes a lot for making map making on a totally new level of accesibility. Always space for growth.

Hate to beat a dead horse and all that jazz, but for some reason the letters are screwed again. Is it possible if in one of the updates something got changed? The last working thing is supposed to be here with "tdm_base01.pk4" https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing Maybe something got messed up in 2.04 or 2.05? Or in the recent hotfixes? This tdm_base01.pk4 has the only working romanian character set that exists. What we have now messes up again ș, ț, ă. The updater downloads the wrong version of tdm_base01.pk4.

Hah, very similar to this side scroller horror: http://store.steampowered.com/app/250380/Knockknock/ The devs on this one were always greatly inspired in their works by Thief (Nikolay Dybovskii admitted it). Variety is always good! Competition breeds excellence.

Bump.

I like the wood outlines of the hall doorway pass in the second picture. It has a very distinct reminiscence of Thief: DS, would love to see that used more often in TDM. There's something very special about it.

Btw another interesting game with awesome gothic writing here: http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com ​These people also made the more renowned Sunless Sea.

I don't know if people really don't read as they used to. To me the people who used to like reading still do. They just don't use printed books that much anymore. Libraries aren't used that much anymore. They are just another place to organize events - good for lectures, seminaries, round tables and so on. Very often even for purposes unrelated to literature such as doing Rubic's cube events (I once went to one just for the heck of it even though I barely learned the basic formula). The point is people today acknowledge that it's easier to download the Kindle or Kobo app and read stuff from there. On the contrary - it makes good literature even more accessible to the common man. That is a good thing. The point is that printed books are also objectively more expensive too. A good book on a narrow subject of academic study can cost easily a few dozens of dollars or even a hundred or two. I'm not even mentioning periodicals with monthly pay.

True but really, any sort of media in excess is bad. Everything should be in moderation. It's a thing that should be taught in school - critical thinking and taking everything with a grain of salt. Raising aesthetical standards. ​I don't believe motion pictures or video games are inherently worse than books. It's just that many movies and video games are mediocre when it comes to comparing them to masterpieces like Dostoyevski's books or a Robinson Crusoe. It's why it will take a while for people to take video games more seriously. When it comes to movies we don't really watch The Godfather each time. But good cinema is specifically that which doesn't use those trendy things in excess like FX. Michael Bay in a nutshell. That's why Tarkovsky is underrated or why 1 out of 10 people will know who Ingmar Bergmann is. But that is good cinema. One that respects you and through which you can objectively have a good, damn time (if those movies are your thing). Alternatively there's nothing wrong with Tarantino or Scorsese. But not fall into postmodernist, shallowness and mediocrity to "Fifty shades of gray" as a good movie. That's horrible.

Tell them why they read belletristic books. It's not even literature. "Fifty shades of gray" and other excrements of poor writing, one step from being rendered as softcore pornography. That is a waste of everyone's goddamn time.

Both the first mission and St. Lucia are better. Minor tweaking goes a long way as was shown in the NHAT update. In fact this and NHAT should probably be among the recommended first missions to play around for new people to start.

I think it's real strong. Hammerite builder on a horse isn't bad at all. ​The general aspect to shoot for here would be something distinctly gothic. There's quite a lot concept art from ages lying around. Take a look: http://www.thedarkmod.com/media/ And there's more on Moddb and other resources.

They won't. This time it's all in. GFWL was a failure catastrophic for any game at the time in 2008 on PC (Fallout 3, Red Faction Guerilla, GTA IV). Hopefully Microsoft learned from the lesson. Windows Store is here to stay. Tbh I'm kinda glad because It's ridiculous how polarized and far away consoles are from the PC market. At least something to make Microsoft turn their eye back in this field. True. But it was the singleplayer from which all the fuss was about. Atm there's such an FPS online saturation on the market that I think only die hards will care.

Good for them! Poland just like Romania is a very quickly growing economy. New European China. The Romanian division of Ubisoft was also responsible for the best Silent Hunter games - 3 and 4. Kind of a niche but all good games. ​Just goes to show you don't need to immigrate to make a living honestly.
