Need A Writer?


Macsen

Recommended Posts

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. ;)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
