Found an account on twitter that looks interesting called Steampunk Tendencies https://twitter.com/Steampunk_T

 

Website - http://www.steampunktendencies.com/

 

They're also on Facebook but I'm not and you need to log in to see it

 

Some samples of images from them

Thieves highway, anyone?

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

that's the kind of thing I had envisioned for my first FM but the long view distances as you know are a no-no. :\

 

Couldn't it be done if everything across the river was a skybox?

 

That Soul tear has been at it again, bloody awesome -

 

Some great texture work there.

I recently realized how Jin-Roh and his maze of vast, partially well lit up sewers and what lay between impacted my mind when it comes to fantasizing a Thiefesque universe :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On this matter William Steele 2 and 3, the first Accountant mission and Penny Dreadful 1 did a great job with sewers and making them more than stinking corridors...

These are the pictures from Athos. I suggest reading about it for it's a palce like no other! It's like a second vatican, but more fantasy like!

It's a polish website but you can just click on whichever picture you like to see it, or use the button "następne" which is in small red font above the picture.

So I took a train down to the Manchester Christmas Markets yesterday. I spent most of my time buying lunch again and again as I kept getting drawn in by the smell of a million and one fresh German excuses to eat too much meat at once on a bun. One thing I did bring back with me was an awesome hand-made book. It's loosely bound in leather and contains really pulpy paper, so much so that I could write creepy stuff in it and convince a museum it was centuries old. New TDM sketch book? I do believe so!

Looks kind of mystical to me, with the pentagram and what not. ;)

With my messy planning style it'll probably end up looking like those fictitious alchemical journals you get dotted around the intertubes, so close enough!

I believe there were some images from Vanishing of Ethan Carter awhile back but here's some updates:

I guess they use this real pain-in-the-ass photo source method which looks great but take eons to get into game...

 

(Seems like either the post-process blur is way too high or the uploader up-scaled the images too much...)

 

Still, some familiar terra cognita with little hints of steampunk and undead here and there...

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
