How many Thief FMs?

Anyone have a ballpark figure for how many Thief 2 FMs there are? Are we talking 500? 1000? I have no idea.

That's more than one a month for us. *feels behind. Wait, I provided January's release, who is next? There's less than a week left! *cracks whip.

 

Heck, beta testing took a month for my previous one (admittedly, bad time of year over the holidays). My current work is at least three times more involved and probably only two-thirds complete. That means at least another month before testing, then perhaps a couple months of testing, gah, May? That sounds depressingly far off. (Of course I'll be halfway through my next by then I suppose.)

769 T2 FMs according to Ricebug's statistics linked to in the TTLG thread you posted, which don't include the foreign FMs which might at most add another 30 or so I'd guess? And campaigns are counted as 1 hit rather than the number of FMs inside it, which is going to add possibly a few dozen too. So I'd put it in the low to mid-800s (Thiefmissions has some known lacunae in its FM lists, so its count is low.)

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

Seems right as I have over 700 from Komags DVDs that I got in 2010. Everything was in a torrent 34gb of Thief stuff. I don't know if it's still a torrent but I see that the US gov has taken down IsoHunt.com so torrents will soon be a thing of the past... like FTP is.

      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).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
