Also.. what the fuck are they doing? they keep putting up this contest then pulling it down.. and all the details surrounding it are ambiguous.. Whoever handles marketing at EM should be fired because they constantly keep making mistakes (not just with this either)

They want users to create mods/levels with TDM editor? Will we be able to reap benefits from this to add cool stuff to TDM or will Square Enix own the mods? If people make missions, will TDM be able to host them so all can enjoy or will they be SE property? I hope that all quality work for this contest can be implemented to help expand TDM!

Good publicity.

I guess it's all too late in the day seeing as the comp is teetering on the edge of another announcement... But if TDM could infulence the competition to open it to entrants outside the US and folk under the age of 18 it'd be nice. Thief 4 might be 18 rated, but traditionally Thief has been 12+ hasn't it?

First two Thief games were rated mature. I can't remember TDS's rating.

 

Edit:

 

TDS is mature.

 

ESRB Mature is 17+ in USA.

 

I see TDS was rated 12+ for a foreign release. Perhaps the ratings are different depending on region.

Thats the point. Why should SQeenix be interested in giving a free project a good publicity? Or let TDM expand more ?

I suspect there are connections from TDM to SE. This never has been made possible without asking somebody from TDM or vice versa.

And I dunno if it is a clever marketing-strategy from SE to use a free mod (editor) which is the moral "Thief" authority for

years. What would be the benefit of this? What will be the benefits for TDM? mmmhhhhh.......

 

hopefully SE is not up to bury the TDM, because a good mod like this is like a nail in their coffin.

TDm will remain . Thief4 will be forgotten at the end of 2014 when everybody can get it for peanuts as GOTY-edition from the "software-pyramid"

Looks like they accept a video of a mission for an entry, nothing about of how complete this mission is or what?

What excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?

This all makes no sense. If my english would be good enough, I would call them immediately and ask them if this is some hoax, joke or something like that.

And if not, if they are smoking a huge amount of astro turf.

 

No benefit for TDM, no usage for modding / making advertise for Square Eenix B)

I guess the proposition is that TDM gets some fresh interest and Eidos get to be seen playing nice with the traditional Thief community.

 

--edit--

oh, that and given that it's confirmed that Theif 4 won't have mission editing tools and that there's a strong modding community maybe it's a nice gesture to at least do something for those of us who play or make fan missions - even if it's a small thing that isn't an editor.

It's clearly not a hoax. As Spring said in another thread, it is being looked into behind the scenes. That's all that can be said for now.

 

I wonder what might be still 'going on behind the scenes', keeping in mind that the contest officially started already on february 17 ?

:wacko:

      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!
