I used to try to desperately defend Islam as being like "any other religion" on a few occasions when I first joined these forums. I am still a liberal, a secular humanist, but I am becoming more cynical of the leadership of the Democrat Party's reasonings for defending Islam despite it standing for everything they oppose. Islam is not like any other religion, I am finally willing to admit, thanks to Ridvan Aydemir, or Apostate Prophet. Islam is cruel, corrupt, evil, degenerate, perverted to a level that disgusts me. Muhammad wasn't a perfect man, he was a murderous sex fiend who made up bullshit about flying to space on a buraq (donkey with a peacock tail and lady face) and that sperm was produced in the ribs and that the sun sets in a small mud puddle that Alexander the Great found. Islam is evil, it treats women like subsapient sex cattle and murders gays, atheists, apostates, and those brave enough to speak against it. Death to Islam, and fuck that pedophile Muhammad, who married a 6 year old Aisha, molested her for 3 years before vaginally raping her, and beat her until she couldn't breathe when she spoke out against his crazed claims! He gave that poor girl Stockholm Syndrome so she lead his army of rapist bandits into reconquering his lands after his just death of poisoning by his Jewish sex slave, whose father and brother he murdered in front of her! Muhammad was less than pigshit, and I am atheist, but on off-chance Hell exists, Muhammad is drowning in an ocean of boiling pig shit down there for his evil acts during his life that affect the world to this day! He murdered poets who mocked his psychotic and perverted behavior, he hated dogs and killed non-Abrahamic folk mercilessly and put Jews and Christians into brutal second class citizenship, he facilitated a sex slave trade of women!

Thanks for linking my posts! I appreciate it!

Zweihander actually has a class called the Hexer, much like the native Polish name for the series.

Still hoping anybody here has found any information, or at least has an opinion on the whole matter? I've been on and off looking for Neil Manke for years, ever since I learned of Black Widow Games' sad fall 7 years ago when I was 18 and graduated. I had first seen a let's play of They Hunger on YouTube along with a. let's play of MediEvil when I was 16, and that got me into following mods and fangames.

I feel as if it would be okay to have SOME Lovecraftian enemies, or evidence of something Lovecraftian having been there, at least. Something to really amp up the horror aspect. Nyalathotep in Thief The Dark Mproject appeared as a statue, at least. Perhaps something like oozing green slime leading to a well, an evil looking spellbook bound in human flesh, or inbred backwoods folk doing strange rituals at ancient stone hedges that even the pagans kept away from.

Would Lovecraftian horror themed missions fit into the aesthetic of The Dark Mod, seeing as to how the First City in the original Thief worshipped a Cthulhu-lookalike with the name N'lahotep?

I think the idea has its merits, as long as it was actual Thief fans making it.

Anyone here seen "Half-Life: Year of the Dragon"? I'm a fervent follower of Magic Nipples, and Cyreides' Zera games. Griff the Winged Lion looks good too. Haven't heard much from OhiraKyou about Nytro, worryingly.

Been a bit. Has anyone found any information yet, or at least found all this interesting?

So far, there are 3 new types of Headcrab, meaning 3 new types of Headcrab Zombie!

The poll function is acting up, so tell me, what was the better Horror DLC, "inFamous Festival of Blood" or "Borderlands: Zombie Island of Dr. Ned"?

The only Neil Manke Facebook Page for Kamloops, British Columbia has not been updated since 2016. That's when I called him up and contacted him. Shortly after, the old Black Widow Games website with his information on it was sold and the information on it lost. Something smells like a cover-up. But why? Is Neil ashamed his illness cost the jobs and community he created? Is he depressed about it? Angry? Wants to move on? Regardless, I still want answers. Einar Saukas deserves that much, at least.

https://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,627893/ Some information on Einar Saukas.

Way back when, when GameInforker was a popular gaming magazine, they used to give out free discs of certain games. One of these game series given out was the "They Hunger" trilogy by Black Widow Games, a small group of international game developers lead by Neil Manke in Canada and his right-hand man Einar Saukas in Brazil. Together, BWG became an upcoming juggernaut in the video game industry for their Half-Life Mods, in an era where Half-Life mods were becoming their own well-known series, like Team Fortress and Counter-Strike. Having been commissioned after the first "They Hunger" and standalone game "U.S.S. Darkstar" to make the official game mod for then-upcoming action-horror movie Underworld. With all this wild success in the business, Black Widow Games was talked of in online game articles, gaming magazines, and even mentioned in books about gaming. Then, shortly after the "They Hunger" trilogy was finished, the folks at Black Widow Games had an amazing, ambitious idea. With Half-Life 2 and Source Engine released, they wanted to make "They Hunger: Lost Souls", an at-the-time modern retelling/sequel/prequel/who the hell knows. The game was 80% finished, when disaster struck. Neil Manke fell deathly ill, causing production to halt. Since Neil was the leader of the international BWG, and most had never met in person, the whole studio later disbanded. It is unknown if Neil is currently alive or dead, but was last said to be living in Kamloops, British Columbia, alive yet sickly. Einar Saukas has been trying over the years to get in contact with Neil, and has in the meantime been taking part in development of minor games. Since Einar doesn't have international calling from Brazil, he doesn't know how to get in contact with his old friend and finish their legacy. I have in the past tried to contact Neil Manke, from a Kamloops Facebpok page of him, calling his house from the Kamloops phonebook and actually being answered, although I got a weird reply. The man there said he was Neil Manke's cousin, and that he didn't know where my Neil was. I was younger and way more autistically trusting at the time, so I believed him. Then I realized he may have been lying, out of shame or embarrassment or wanting to put what he saw as a previous life behind him. Due to Canada's health care system, he probably was well-cared for and recovered well, because according to his Facebook page, he enjoys going to the beach. So, without the apparent Neil trusting me enough to talk, I decided I should call Einar Saukas to get in contact and let him know his old business partner lived. One problem: I don't speak Brazilian, don't have international calling, only being able to call Kamloops due to New Hampshire being semi-close, and don't know how to contact Einar. Plus, Brazil has been in turmoil since a far-right president took charge who may have started a Rainforest Fire to expand his beef company Farms, and who has stated he wished to wipe out the natives. So it's probably hectic, chaotic, etc. So I turn to you, fellow gamers of The Dark Mod Forums. Will you help me in trying to locate, contact, and inform Mr. Einar Saukas of his old business partner's fate, and potentially cause "They Hunger" to rise from its grave like a zombie?

You'd think they would get tired of NOT making it already.

I think they should still release it off VR for those who aren't fans of it due to motion sickness.

As a kid, when I first played the good old game "Tak and the Power of Juju", I found a shrine with a dog with the head of a chimp in a small area in Chicken Island West, you need to fall down the biggest cliff and jump in the sea cave before the Jellyfish kill you. The word "Eatpoo" was written on it. I later learned Apedog was the mascot of the Eatpoo forums, which the creators of Tak frequented. Isn't it weird I only learned this years later?

For an idea, since the False Hydra would involve a lot of meta gaming, any sort of goal/mission text could be altered to only say the true mission by looking at the False Hydra in a mirror. It could open up some interesting gameplay ideas, if done properly.

I wish I could come up with a witty retort or actual solution, but the first thing to come to mind is "i dunno lol".

Maybe we could do some different fantasy humanoids from beastmen, but still not the common ones like Dwarf, Elf, Orc, Goblin, Troll, Ogre, etc. The Silver-Skinned Kothringi and Eyeless Orma from Elder Scrolls were pretty unique subspecies of human from the swamps of Argonia, and for a horror aesthetic, the mutant Freaks from the otherwise-disliked Thief 2014 were a good monstrous humanoid, although they were still referred to as "strange man-beasts" in a newspaper article. Perhaps something like debased troglodytes, or more Lovecraftian fishmen, less sympathetic than the Kurshok I chose as my namesake, or ghouls from Pickman's Model.

So we technically only have 1 true race of beastmen, the chimp-like ones in Volta 2, and one potentially on the way, the Mantians.

Probably because it looks similar, but with heads on boneless limbs instead of hands. It sounds like an evil Lovecraftian potato.

Hot damn, I don't like to consider myself a furry, but that Mantian Huntress is thicc, I wanna clap them cheeks.

The "False Hydra" is a homebrew Dungeons and Dragon creature that could fit in any number of settings to give a horror adventure, whether high or low fantasy, science fiction, modern, or perhaps even historical. I will post a link about the creature, but the legends say they are born from lies and sin, something Bridgeport has a lot of. I could imagine one poking its head up in a basement in Bridgeport proper or a nearby town. http://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2014/09/false-hydra.html?m=1

So, do the Beastfolk of any kind have any cultures of their own, outside of the pagan culture? Do they have their own cities, towns, or villages? Different religions? Are there any nations in the world where Beastfolk and humans get along, or where Beastfolk are the majority?
