Hi all, Happy new year and I can't wait to see what this very talented team manages to release this year. Some of my favorite missions so far are (not in order are): 1.) Crucible of Omens: Behind closed doors 2.) Alberic's Curse 3.) Crystal Grave 4.) Deceptive Shadows 5.) Awaiting the Storm As for campaigns, I highly rate whatever's released by Dragofer, Goldwell, Grayman and Sotha. I feel that atmosphere sets aside TDM from all the other bland, bloated games that are saturating the market at present. I just love that Gothic/Baroque feel that TDM is able to capture and that no-one else appears to be doing, much to the detriment of gamers everywhere. I do feel as the missions get more and more detailed, this list will most likely change a couple of times! Keep up the great work team!

Loving the mission so far. Look forward to what is in store for 2020!

This sounds just like what you're after: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Fan_Mission_Series#Thomas_Porter_series I'm sure that I've played more with a definite Lovecraftian theme but this series of missions stands out. I'm hoping Sotha's working on the next best thing as we speak!

Can't think of a better choice for a in-game harem area or hash den!

Great mission. Not too massive, not too small, just right!

Definitely on the right track, but I personally feel that it sounds a bit too contemporary. I would think more along the lines between the intro music for this doco and Vangelis's Animoid Row Part 2 from Blade Runner. This is more bazaar/marketplace type stuff.

Funnily enough I did play T2 - Shadows of the Metal Age HD remaster and that sounds exactly like what you're trying to achieve. Hell, the main character was from Northern Africa! This was made ages ago and I'm not sure what happened to the devs, but maybe it's worth dropping them a line or two? Man, I would've happily paid good money for that game. That being said, I have been burned on kickstarter with the System Shock remaster, which'll be done roughly when I hit retirement at this stage....

Wow, I'm staggered at the amount of research that's been put in. The amount of passion this community has is truly phenomenal. Just to add some more fuel to the fire, I believe this collection of short stories could provide some more ideas around concept, if we were to go with a much darker theme than say a Prince of Persia: https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Alhazred-Donald-Tyson-ebook/dp/B01LXPANK1/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=tales+of+alhazred&qid=1572849560&sr=8-1 I also feel that Andalusian architecture could provide a happy balance between European and Middle Eastern. Anyways, this is turning into a very interesting discussion!

If you'll fast forward to the end, you'll see where I got the idea from. Also, a massive fan of what this mob is doing...

Glad to see it's sort of gaining traction. Man, I wish there was a patreon for TDM! Having the mad Arab, Abdul Alhazred make an appearance would also some nice icing on the cake...

There are loads of decent S.T.A.L.K.E.R modes over at MODDB. My personal favorites so far are: Wind of time - new story mod Spatial Anomaly - new story mod Road to the North - new story mod Anomaly - new story mod/overhaul Call of Pripyat Remake 2.1 - overhaul with some stunning visuals This is really just the tip of the iceberg. There's dozens of quality mods but unfortunately, I'm not literate in Russian so I'm cut off from 80% of them! Damn! Other than that, there are a shitload of other crazy good mods. One favorite is the ACM overhaul, which completely transformed what was by all accounts a terrible game to something quality: https://www.moddb.com/mods/templargfxs-acm-overhaul/downloads/acm-overhaul-v5-game-over-man

I'm trying to download mission 2 from the built in downloader but it's a duplicate of mission1? Is this getting fixed?

Hi all, First off let me say that TDM has renewed my faith in gaming at a time where bloated, soulless open world/multiplayer gaming seems to have taken over. There's real passion behind each level released, not a whole bunch of filler added in by devs working death-shift hours. This, the numerous S.T.A.L.K.E.R and Skyrim mods are pretty much all I play now. The only small suggestion I would have, if it hasn't been suggested a million times already, is perhaps getting a Moorish/Middle-Eastern setting going. The whole 1001 nights context would be an open pallette to explore. I personally can't wait to sneak around some Sultan's palace or some long forgotten tomb in the desert. Just my 2 cents. Anyways, keep up the great work all! Cheers, g0kud0
