I used to be on Facebook before leaving due to it causing me unneeded mental stress, but before I left, I used to be in a fan page for an old Half-Life 1 mod trilogy called "They Hunger". The game was a zombie horror game series that was released in a few issues free in PC Gamer. Anyways, I had heard that not only had the sadly broken up makers of the series "Black Widow Games", a rising star in the video game industry, broken up due to their leader Neil Manke getting deathly I'll, but they cancelled their 80% done game "They Hunger: Lost Souls" a Half-Life 2 engine sequel to the original They Hunger trilogy. Well, I asked around for awhile, and asked if anyone knew how to get in contact with Einar Saukas, Neil's right hand man, who wanted to know if Neil was still alive. I knew Neil was still alive from his Facebook page and having contacted him for research, although he was hesitant to talk to an autistic fanboy. So I sent an email to Einar and let the fanpage know of Neil's Mortal coul not being broken yet. They must've somehow got in contact, because earlier this year, without me noticing, the unfinished "They Hunger: Lost Souls" was released. Now, enterprising modders could finish the game on their own if they so chose. So i feel pretty good about that.

Nicely played!

must feel good having made that happen!

It does feel good, and I'll admit it holds a special place in my heart. My adopted father's mother passed away a week or so ago, and it got me thinking of my childhood when I was at my adopted mother's mother's house as a child with my siblings and cousins. I've been feeling sad and nostalgic recently after a mental health medication prescription mixup left me without medication for my anxiety for 4 weeks, but I'm doing better now. But I've been wishing to spend more time with my family while I can, although the coronavirus quarantine squeezing their work schedules tighter has nixed that. So I've decided to closure myself into nostalgia and for my birthday in October, intend to build up a digital library of TV shows I loved from my youth like Hey Arnold, Avatar the last airbender, and invader zim. I want to have that peace of mind from my childhood again.

      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!
