How did you know I had sexually attractive ravens in mind? Stop looking into my brain! :ph34r:

 

Looks great. More original than I had imagined it.

 

I like the inclusion of a key too. Someone's been reading!

On another note, I know it's a detail, but I can get picky about this stuff:

 

I'm not entirely cool with the moon-ish symbol. As you may see in the pic, I erased what was there before quite often. Here's what I tried and why I skipped it.

  • Triscel - too celtic
  • Pertho or Mekstave Algiz rune - too germanic (looks like nazi-harp)
  • Pentagram or Heptagram - too D&Desque
  • Planetary Saturn or Pluto sign - could work, but doesn't go too well with the rest
  • Classical Elemental Earth symbol - a bit too sharp cornered, also not the best choice in means of relation to the object
  • Elder Sign or Yellow Sign - As much as I like Lovecraftian references, I don't think they're ok for a key item

I also thought of a keyhole, but settled for her carrying a key instead. An alternative could be one of the classic Thief runes from TDP. Any suggestions?

No Thief symbols, please. We're staying away from any runes or glyphs from the original games.

 

I don't see a problem with the moon as a symbol...don't fret over it too much, as the object is going to be small enough that the symbol won't likely be very visible anyway.

Don't worry, I'll stick with my ambients in future...

I don't know, from the looks of that, I think you should stick to the concept art)

It'll be a bitch to model, but all the best stuff is.

Ah, seems my friend who hosted it for me finaly canceled his ISP contract. This means I'll have to relocate my ambients and stuff like this on the FTP.

 

I don't have the bandwidth here to upload all ambients now, but I will attach the ravenharp image to this post for the time being.

 

[edit: hmm that didn't work, and I get invalid pwd or username for the ftp]

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
