Happy Anniversary Dark Mod..?

[speak]

Happy Anniversary, your work on this game is astonishing!

 

(also: first post on the forums, yay)

You know what? The fact that TDM has been in steady development since 10 years with a lot of love and devotion and that it is completely free and solely community based, makes it very unique, a singularity in fact. I wonder why nobody ever tried to create a making-of / documentary style kind of video about it with interviews and such?

I'll be honest, years ago when work on TDM had just started and I had heard about it for the first time, I was extremely skeptical. Not because I disliked the idea or thought it wouldn't work, but I was convinced that development would just stall and the whole project would eventually die. So, thank you all, every taffer and taffette who sacrificed their free time and resources into the making of The Dark Mod, and kept patiently working on and on until we got the first fairly stable builds.

 

The Thief series couldn't have hoped for a better, technically more up to date homage than this one. And TDM is, without exaggeration, one of the best freeware, fan-made games of the present. You deserve every single bit of praise and every single award that you've so far gotten for all your dilligent effort. They were hard-earned accolades, hard-earned in the best way possible.

 

So, congratulations to all and thank you for creating such an amazing game, and in a well-chosen, quality engine. I waited for years to be able to play this as a complete standalone, but it was well worth the wait.

 

I have lots of missions to finish, lots more to look forward to on a moody autumn or winter night... And I already even have plans to help with further development. Small steps first, but hopefully I'll eventually work on something fairly big.
