Hi. For the last moth I've been secretly working on a small surprise. It's yet another demo showing some possibilities of the game engine. It's a small map with no objectives, but I hope you'll enjoy it.

 

Don't press escape after the mission starts or you will miss all the fun :)

Probably, I've been tinkering with my brightness levels (darkening the monitors and upping brightness in software), also uploading this in 720 with less intro (still a little bit) so it should be easi

Lovely! Thanks, man. =-)

 

It made me smile.

"No proposition Euclid wrote,

No formulae the text-books know,

Will turn the bullet from your coat,

Or ward the tulwar's downward blow

Strike hard who cares—shoot straight who can—

The odds are on the cheaper man."

OMG!

 

Does this demo show a Cubemap \ Interior mapping style effect (well... in this case it would be exterior mapping) ?!?!

 

Must try this tonight!

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

Thanks to all :)

Just wondering if

the new character could be reskinned and used in other FMs

 

It would take more than just new texture as I made custom rig.

 

how did you make that custom light/shadow for the floor - that is extremely cool!

I made it in Blender. I imported the models, copied their exact position, created light source in the same place as in DarkRadiant and then baked the shadows and ambient occlusion. Then I placed planes with that baked shadows as decals in the map.

Hm, there are cubemaps but it's nothing new. They're described here: http://wiki.thedarkm...title=Cube_maps

      Taking a break to alleviate burnout. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have jumped into a map-making contest so quickly after just finishing another project and especially with my busy schedule, but I do believe I have something that the community will enjoy. No clue if I'll be able to finish it on time for the competition if I factor in a break, but I'd rather take my time and deliver something of quality rather than engage in development crunch or lose part of the map's soul to burnout.

      Working on an update for my mission By The Cookbook. If anyone that played it has any further bugs to report, please let me know.
      I posted more details about the update in the mission thread.

      Happy birthday to me!
      Yes, today's my birthday and as much as I want to play The Dark Mod, I won't until it's late Autumn, where it should be a bit chilly in my place and there's some wind too.
      For now, it's time to enjoy my birthday, if any of you want to play a great fan mission in my honour...Well that's asking too much, just play the mission because it's fun, not because of me, enjoy it yourself! 💪
