So who is yours? Basically in three categories. Style (Art, Beauty, Design), Story & Gameplay.

 

For me it's

  • Bikerdude for Design especially his room details.
  • Grayman for story
  • Demagogue for Gameplay.

What's yours?

The style is difficult. I think many FMAs make sufficiently excellent visuals these days, and I cannot prefer one over the others.

  • Most FMA's for Design
  • Moonbo for story
  • Greyman for Gameplay - no doubt there.

This is tough to narrow it down to just one person per group but if I had to choose my absolute favorite's i'd choose:

  • Design - Kingsal
  • Story - Moonbo
  • Gameplay - Sotha
  • Like 1

Shadows of Northdale Campaign
ACT I: A Curious Mind | ACT II: Down The Rabbit Hole

Stand Alone Missions

This one is very tough, but lets assume there isnt multiple choice and only 3 categories -

  • Melan for Design
  • Grayman for story
  • Sotha for Gameplay.

And the reason its so tough, is Moonbo applies to all three categories.

 

I totally agree, same names, but I also would add:

 

  • Kingsal for Design (but not exquo with Melan only because Kinsdal made only one mission so far)

Style - Melan

Story (content+cinematics) - Grayman

Gameplay - Moonbo

 

If you add T2 I'd add Purah, Gaetane, Lady Rowena or Lord Alan

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

Style - Airship Ballet (interiors)/Goldwell (opening sequences - this could also be mentioned as "story")

Story - Moonbo (an author that can visualize his thoughts with a 3d engine - brilliant)

Gameplay - Sotha/Bikerdude (Ulysses 1,The Transaction, The Gatehouse and many more FMs... impossible to pick a favorite - both of you could make a living out of this)

 

There are so many talented people around here and with all the new ones joining, I really can´t wait for the next missions.

And bikerdude close to Moonbo ;)

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

There are so many talented people here, I could hardly pick up one and miss the others. Thanks for all your submissions, making TDM what it is today! :)

I don't think so, I think it's recognising talent, which gives inspiration to others.

      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!
