Thanks for doing this.

 

I made a suggestion once about doing this each year in January or February for FMs over the last year as a kind of Academy Awards, but granted there were more FMs coming out when I made that suggestion. Still it's cool to see this being done. This is of course a special & bigger kind of contest that really honors our authors. Really cool of you to organize this.

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

Voted! I was surprised how long some of my favourite TDM authors have been working - disqualifying them from the new author awards. :)

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

Actually, I am seriously tempted to change my vote just now. There's something on the horizon that's...oh, never mind. Carry on!

Someone voted for me. Thanks nbohr! That makes me happy.

 

Me too! Heartwarming. Thanks guys! :wub:

 

TDM missions are probably not that well known in the TTLG community.

I even got a vote! :D

 

You helped out on enough TDM missions so you have more than one vote by defacto :P

 

You only have yourself to blame for helping to make Crucible:BCD and Sir Talbot's so awesome that they nudged your own missions down in the ranks. :)

 

(Not that I'm complaining.)

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

The second phase starts today. I regret there's just a tiny representation of TDM members in the nominees, almost certainly due to the much higher number of TTLG voters. But it was very close in the Most Promising Author category, only a couple of votes here and there.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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