Well, actually the first part was called Dark Project: Der Meisterdieb in germany, so at least their thief was included. I guess it wasn't used in germany as most people here don't know how to pronounce th. :D (Me, too btw.)

 

Interestingly enough, I have Thief in an English box, and Thief II in the German box. Never really noticed that until now.

We shall not forget our origins! The name TDM carries all that with it.

I keep having to remind people that The Dark Mod needs doom 3 currently to work, they already seem to think its seperate from doom 3. So I can't see why it would need a name change.

The opening post was talking about after it goes standalone, when d3 is not needed & you want to exactly avoid the misperception that it is, not now. I mean even the thread title says that much.

 

The main argument for keeping it (or the general consensus one anyway) seems to be more like it's already the established name, no sense in changing it then, or more succinctly: tradition!

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

We could also think of a new meaning for "mod". Examples:

 

"The Dark Mod. Follow the adventures of Marty Odley, or Mod, as he robs the rich and give to himself"

"The Dark M.O.D - A mysterious artifact uncovered by the builders, called Mantle Of Death..."

 

I'm not serious, by the way :P

We could take a note from T2's update (which just got updated itself yesterday btw), and call it The New Dark Mod.

TDS = The Dark Standalone :D

 

Nee, let's stay with TDM. Everybody is used to it and it's like Sotha said: remember the roots. ^_^

TDR, The Dark Roots :v (Routes?)

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

The Dark Awesome!!!! (the exclamation points are part of the name), to capture that all-important mainstream demographic marketers tend to speak about. B)

I think just a horse armor would be enough. :D

      Stumbled upon a documentary on Enki Bilal, he is one of the most influential comic book artists of my adolescence. English auto-subtitles is rubbish, so you might need to brush up on your French

      Today I did a bit of an experiment! I wanted to see if I could get a dark radiant map into garry's mod, the quickest and dirtiest and not-workiest method is "OBJ2VMF" which converts .obj models into VMF files for hammer to then compile, the way its supposed to work is that you input a 6 sided cube and it turns it into a 6 brush room (not exactly ideal for this since that's not how TDM maps work, this honestly would have been a better idea with any thief game from 1 to the one from 2014 since they all work like that) so what ended up happening was that for every brush there was 6 brushes would be ontop of that almost inflating everything in the map like a balloon, map scale was also an issue that I couldn't fine-tune easily either so the scale is way off ontop of everything being inflated making the space inside the map very tiny! anyways heres the result of that and it looks almost nothing like footloose (plus I did add a bunch of random props in gmod for funsies and better visibility since the process involved replacing all the textures with dev ones that look very flat when in full-bright)

      (streamable link will expire in 2 days but I'll have a spoken word version of this post along side the video and other fun images relating to the bsp inflation effect in the next "Goblin Secrets" video next month)
