TDM in The News

That proves it, we Germans have good taste!! :D

 

This goes in line with the fact that we have a massive influx of new clearly German forum members. I guess this is mostly due to the coverage of Gamestar. This is the biggest gaming site in Germany, after all. Also, Chip.de is a fairly frequented site, so those two heavyweights alone should generate a lot of traffic.

My Eigenvalue is bigger than your Eigenvalue.

Well, Germany -- You won this one ;)

 

Country, downloads, total population, downloads per million persons in that country

 

Germany, 2514, 80.4M, 31.3

Finland 361, 5.4M, 66.9

 

Conclusion:

If the amount of downloads correlates with playing activity, the population of Finland is over twice active TDM players than the population of Germany! ;)

Sotha, that's just because it's so cold that nobody goes outside in Finland resulting in more overall gaming activity. ;-D

 

I'd like to add that it is not only cold, but dark, too. That spawns a lot of stealth gamers: people feel like home in the dark gloominess... ;)

Gentlegermans,

 

Things have changed. It looks like the call of Slashdotia has been heeded. But hey, at least you once again showed those pesky Frenchmen.

This is using a geoip2, which has a slightly newer db than the one I was using earlier. No more silly names whee.

I was about to say too, I bet at least half the Tokyo number are friends of mine that picked it up off my FB announcement.

 

Interesting that the first US city is waay down the list, Austin (my former univ & hometown yay! And definitely not surprising). Goes to show how spread out US players are to still be the first country. They're all out in suburbs all across the whole country.

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

A few comments from the PC gamer article worth posting:

 

 

The only Thief game I played is Thief 3, which wasn't terrible, but wasn't very good either. The whole time I was playing it, I could tell (even without having played the other two games) that it was inferior to the others. I just knew, somehow, that I was getting a watered down version of a different experience. The Dark Mod is what Thief 3 should've been, and what Thief 4 should be. I can see now why so many people complained that Thief 3 didn't have rope arrows; they are literally my favorite part of the whole game. I really like the way The Dark Mod can be scary, empowering, disempowering, and challenging all in one mission. Sometimes all at once! I'm happy knowing that I technically never have to stop playing this game, what with all the community content that will surely be produced in the future.

 

 

I've been playing this non-stop since it went 2.0 (and a little before that) and I'll have to say that this is seriously good. For those of you who loved the Thief series I would highly recommend to play this! (I've still yet to complete Thief 2 & 3 myself)

I've been playing through the missions (on expert mode, naturally) as they have been released (http://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/?sort=releasedate) and you can really see that the authors have put some serious work into their maps.

I completed the first part of "No Honor Among Thieves" last night and I was completely knocked out by the level of detail and lighting! Some of these fan missions can structurally rival maps from the Thief games, the architecture, the ambiance and even the dialogue is passable!

("Can't blame that one on me, wasn't even theeeeere!" ~ A Darkmod Guard)

If anyone loved the Thief series, they are going to get on well with this. Yes there are a few quirks that might need to be ironed out, but getting all this out of the Doom 3 engine is a massive achievement and well... I'm loading it back up now for some Sunday morning Taffing about!

Another download spike is going to hit us soon, I guess. The German gaming magazine Gamestar just posted a big special on The Dark Mod:

http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/thief/artikel/the_dark_mod,44861,3029213.html

 

I know we had Gamestar already, but this is a new article. I especially like the last sentence in the conclusion, which I'll translate for you.

My collegeau is excited about Thief 4, but I'll stick to this beautiful fan project.

That's an accurate and thorough review, showing the reviewer has played the mod and can evaluate it on more than a glimpse. That's respectable.

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

      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)?

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