Thank you TDM!

[bushwookie]

I've been so bored lately with the games that have been released that I just about burnt out on PC games. While looking up another MOD (need not mentioned here) I came across TDM. W O W, this is AMAZING.. I can play Thief again with player-made missions and using the Doom 3 engine!!!!! OUTSTANDING!

 

Thank you thank you guys, users, map makers, the devs, ALL of you for this awesome gift of gaming! I've tried all the maps, and with the exception of a few, they have all the ambience, the CREEPY hair-raising atmosphere that I had loved so much from the Thief series, EVERYTHING.. it's all great! (takes a breath, calms down)

 

But serious folks,, you've done an amazing job here, and I can only hope for more great player-made maps.. please keep them coming!

 

from your faithful, and supportive newbie,you all have have my deepest thanks.

PS: Where can I see the proggression of player-maps? I'd like to see what's up and coming!

 

Thanks again!

Welcome bush

I can only hope for more great player-made maps.. please keep them coming!

Actually you can add to this by downloading DarkRadiant and try to make one yourself. There are plenty of tutorials on the wiki and the community is always attempted to answer any questions. The more the merrier.

I was thinking about taking a shot at it.. I can see that the people here are very helpful and that is very encouraging!

 

thanks!

Not sure how often this is updated but it should have links to some forum threads: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Upcoming_Fan_Missions

[bushwookie]

Wow.. not very many updates there.. that's a little worrisome..:\ Maybe the devs/mappers are playing something else.. LOL

 

JK, don't kill me!

[Obsttorte]

Not all mappers have wiki access. We have a what you are working on thread in the editors guild (it's pinned at the top). You can take a look there to here what people are doing.

Welcome Bush, and thanks for the kind words! They are always very much appreciated.

 

There was a new mission released just a few days ago (The Builders' Road), don't know if you've played it yet, and there are several others in the works.

 

Getting involved with Dark Radiant is also a great idea if you've ever thought about map-making. Making a simple map is relatively easy and really rewarding--the above-mentioned Road map was made in about two weeks, and it's quite possible for a newbie to create something simple and fun in a month or so.

 

 

 

Just for fun, I know of at least 3 maps made in less than a month:

 

Fiasco on Fauchard St. -- 3 weeks

Builders' Road -- 2 weeks

The Outpost -- 1 week

I think Too Late by Nielson was also made in two weeks Very cool mission by the way.

[Springheel]

Was it really? I go back and play that mission all the time.

As far as that list, it is a bit outdated. Guess whoever was doing it isn't anymore

 

Actually devs/mappers spend more time devving and mapping than updating wiki pages which is a good thing.

[stumpy]

there's that unusal gameplay map contest that finishs at the end of march, so there's likely to be some maps to play then.

[bushwookie]

So far so good guys thanks! I'm checking out the threads and taking notes on mapping..

 

/agrees Too Late was/is a cool mission!
