I'm excited about this mod's potential, and would like to contribute to the writing, once work on the campaign itself begins. I'm a journalist and a novelist (the former in English, the latter in Welsh), and I also write and design a level for the Hammerite Imperium project. I'd offer my services as a level designer, but my PC runs Doom 3 at a choppy rate that would result in much pulling out of the hair if I were to attempt to create a level for it. And you have much more talented level designers already. I've been playing Thief since the first demo was released all those years ago (with rope arrows at Baffords!) so I have fairly good knowledge of that universe. :ph34r:

AS with the last writer we had (he didn't quit, just kinda dissapeared) we'de have to see some sort of examples or what not. I'll let the team leads explain more.

Well, I make regular contributions to the Imperium blog. Look here. If I remember correctly there is a little bit of fictional Thief style writing on that blog as well. I also created this mini-blog from the point of view of a fictional character with a good grasp of English, found here, but that was ages ago. I could upload a few newspaper pieces I've written, but that kind of language is completely different from the kind of writing you'd want me to do. I'd give you a piece of a novel, but unless you can speak Welsh that would be of no use. :)

 

I won't disappear, anyway. I love Thief.

Macsen ye taffer what are you doing here ? The Imperium is not enough for you ? :D

I considered applying for a position here too, but it looks like they have plenty of concept artists.

I suppose the disadvantage with the Imperium is that the story was already set in stone when Macsen joined, so he has little creative impact on the overall story.

Yes, but the Imperium story is so vast and epic it could house a 1,000 little stories within it. I'm not turning my back on the Imperium at all, I've just figured out that I have enough love for Thief to do both. Who needs sleep, eh? :D

I'd love to do some writing for this project as well. Is there any vague idea for the story yet, anything as far as what era it will take place in or who you want the main character to be? Or is it just wide open at this point?

 

I'd be very interested in jotting down some ideas and outlines and sending them your way - if you like them, fine, if not, you can just toss 'em out the window. ;)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
