Two weeks, meaning November 14. Two weeks building time, two weeks judging time... and after that, people will be preoccupied with Beyond Closed Doors anyway. ;)

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

It's an unfortunate accident Grayman. I think that shouldn't stop your mission from being in the contest as you're clearly at the brink of release.

 

So, that leaves me as the one person to genuinely go over the deadline with a very advanced mission. There are still a few big points on my todo list, like setting up AI paths, balancing the lighting and technically implementing the storyline. I knew the mission would become too much for a 2 week contest, so I'd prefer to drop the shackles of the speedbuild, give it my best possible finish and let it stand on its own as my second release and as part of my Newfoundland campaign. It will be an afterburner for the Halloween contest.

*Reels thinking about the man hours required to build 100 missions.*

*Faints thinking about the man hours to make the framework required for all those missions possible*

 

We are an unstoppable workforce of epic proportions!

As a small gift, the winner of our newest contest will receive a digital copy of System Shock 2 from me, which he or she is free to use or give to a friend. I think it is a must as Thief / TDM player to play this game once in a lifetime, so good luck to all entrants :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
