  1. just remembered to mention if you liked the looks of Midsummer's Night Heist, it's heavily inspired by an older mission from an inactive author, Mystic Gems: Heart of Bohn. it's a shame it never got its third entry but still well worth for just how good it looks for pre-NewDark
  2. skacky was hired by Arkane Lyon the past year. prior to that he also worked on Wrath under 3D Realms, surely channelling his Quake roots. Digital Nightfall however has been working under Arkane for some time longer and confirmed to do level design for Dishonoured 2 minimum. she was a pretty major figurehead in the earliest days of Thief mapping. not at all involved in Black Parade or anything else in a long time though.
  3. any by skacky and a lot of the team members behind The Black Parade are worthwhile. they're often all part of the same fan-made continuity as TBP. for some different multi-mission series of various size i'd also recommend Godbreaker and Death's Cold Embrace. the authors of those are working on their own full length campaign for Thief 2, The Broken Goddess. There's also Feast of Pilgrims which won the T2 anniversary contest and was made between team members of both fan expansions.
  4. there's some real impressive scripting and custom animation on display. they definitely took cues trying to push NPC behaviour closer to TDM. i've seen several areas where guards would stop and sit down for a moment then get back up and resume patrol, or a man is digging in the streets, a priest picks up and starts drinking a wine bottle, etc etc. first mission even has a fully new animal walking around. to say nothing of the quality and scope of the levels themselves thus far too. the second one already managed to really wow me in a way that recaptures a particular famous map of the base game.
  5. slight hyperbole here but this feels like a real blow to future game preservation and remaster prospects. the current Atari are the ones sitting on the Blood IP that had been uncooperative with Night Dive's remaster.
  6. i dont think it's common enough to warrant but i appreciate the response. i think the only other mission it's ever really halted me on was Air Pocket
  7. i think this may likely just be me but nonetheless a heads up for anyone else out there with a phobia of fish if you get far enough in this.
  8. i'm hoping/expecting a repeat of a few years ago where the big barely month-old release sweeps a lot of categories but loses out to the Fromsoft title that had a solid half year or more to settle. i havent even played or care much for any souls games but especially with Elden Ring and how much my friends were having fun with it, i respect it enough. also it seems to actually respect the player a good deal more than than i've heard about the new God of War i dont think i've played any new commercial game releases this year. at most i may get around to Cultic the next couple weeks.
  9. Every day is just like the 4 Non Blondes song. What IS going on?

      In the old days, we used to say: "Save water - drink beer"

      How the times have changed! :)

      You didn't clarify the type of water

  11. i'd just be content to have the rights to distribution of the old trilogy in the hands of someone with the care and capability to tweak things up better for a general audience and modern machines. This has mostly been done already with NewDark, but T3 still needs some work. Any digital copies besides GOG are also super out of date with patches.
  12. congrats to the winner Wellingtoncrab. I know you'd been working away at Iris for quite some time and i'm glad it got some elevated recognition on release. I really think it's one of the best missions i've played across TDM and Thief, likely even just stealth games in general. Thanks to the efforts of all the authors and community as a whole for this contest. I enjoyed my time start to finish with all entrants and am really excited with how much the bar has already risen going into 2.10. I love TDM so much.
  13. i had put this mission on pause for a week and it seems there may have been some important info in a conversation that i certainly would not remember now,
  14. Watching warmly for The Black Parade, The Broken Goddess and Blood Death Wish Ep.4. Sometimes the best things in life actually are free.

      Thank you for this post - I knew they were making a sequel to Godbreaker, I just forgot how it was called.

      Definitely will have it in the lens of my looking glass now ;)
      Oh, and you forgot Blade of Agony ;)

  15. was on another YMO kick the past couple of weeks.
