Popular Post Supremcee 19 Posted December 8, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Hello fellow Taffers, I haven‘t really been active on the DarkMod Forums but I’m enjoying the mod since its early days when it just came out. (I even bought doom 3 to make it run ) Some of you might know me from the inofficial Thief Podcast “Inside at Last” (check it out here or search for it on you favorite podcast app or spotify) and that’s the reason I’m posting here. I’m not so familiar with the DarkMod scene but I’m sure you guys can help me. I want to do an episode about the DarkMod and for that I need guests that are experts on that topic. Of course it would be great to have one of the original creators of TDM but also it would be great to have one or two experienced authors so we can discuss the roots and of course every aspect that TDM gives us from gameplay, technology, Original Thief comparison/pros/cons…you get the idea. So please guys let me know who would like to join our podcast as a guest or maybe you can help to get in contact with people you think are esencial. I once had contact with one of the people that are in charge of TDM but my taffing email notifications stopped the conversation before there really was any. I’d be very grateful to hear your opinions on that and to everyone who would like to participate/help making it happen. Thank you taffers! Here is an example of how an episode "looks" like: YoutubeChannel You can also add me on discord: Supremcee#7159 and sorry if I maybe posted it to the wrong topic, but it seemed like the best choice Edited December 8, 2020 by Supremcee 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter_spy 1603 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Kingsal, Goldwell, and Dragofer would probably be my go-to FM creators. As for the mod staff, you can message anyone from here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/staff/ 2 Quote Misc. assets for TDM Link to post Share on other sites
greebo 62 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I've been involved in creating and expanding TDM up until 2012, and I've been working on DarkRadiant for the past 14 years (but DR might not be that interesting for a Thief-themed podcast). Anyway, I'm not a native speaker, and I've been focusing on the technical aspects of the mod - when it comes to game design or overall questions about what drove the team, I think Eric @Springheel or Tim @New Horizonmight be better picks. I'm definitely around if anybody has questions about the first 6 years of TDM though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bienie 424 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I will be looking forward to this episode! I've listened to a few IAL episodes and they're always enjoyable. I second peter_spy and greebo's recommendations but would probably add Grayman to the list of authors as well. I think Duzenko and cabalistic probably have a good handle on the inner workings of the mod as well. 3 Quote My Fan Missions: Series: Standalone: Chronicles of Skulduggery 1: Pearls and Swine The Night of Reluctant Benefaction Chronicles of Skulduggery 2: A Precarious Position Langhorne Lodge Chronicles of Skulduggery 3: Sacricide Link to post Share on other sites

You wouldn't be the first non native english guest, me and my podcast buddy Nex are neither. So I would really appreciate your appearance. 8 hours ago, New Horizon said: I'm available and would be interested in taking part. Thank you, that's so great, and since greebo already recommended you for specific aspects you would also be a perfect fit 2 hours ago, Bienie said: I will be looking forward to this episode!

Ok those are quite a few guys..let's see if somebody would be happy to join. by the way, I just finished your Skulduggery missions all in a row yesterday, was alot of fun! great job. So there are alot of names already... with @New Horizonand @greebo I might the right persons from the Mod view....now to ask the mentioned authors 3 (max 4) guests would be the maximum, otherwise a enjoyable discussion is almost impossible. Just for you guys to know, this is just the planning and the final episode will take a while, you need to get 3-4 people most times from different timezones on discord at the same date/time for 2-3h. But so far it always worked somehow, I'm sure it will this time! And if you guys are not familiar with this, please check it out we had amazing guests, like SupremGhoster Klatremus, authors as: Purah, Firemage, PukeyBrunster or Orginal Thief People as Garretts Voice himself Stephen Russell or Thief GFX director Daniel Thron so you will be in great company I'm looking forward to be in cotact with you, please add me on discord (especially @New Horizonand @greebo so we can discuss my ideas and your expectations) and if any author wants to join...please also add me there thank you so much! by the way, so far I mainly used TTLG....this forum here is soooo advanced from a usability perspective 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Horizon 524 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Sounds good. I'm just on my way to bed here but i will add you to my Discord tomorrow. I'm on Atlantic Standard Time by the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow 68 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 Controversial option, but I'm thinking Bikerdude would be great for participation. Tho he is not in this forum (he is on Discord) he seems to have more high end quality mods than anyone and is still active, aka The Painters Wife. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter_spy 1603 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 (edited) Biker is not on TDM Discord, he's been banned from all TDM related-sites except for the bugtracker. But all in all, the people already mentioned are much safer bets. No severe mental health problems, no superstar syndrome (and groupies to follow), etc. Edited December 10, 2020 by peter_spy 1 1 3 Quote Misc. assets for TDM Link to post Share on other sites
nbohr1more 2167 Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have been around since 2010 and am versed in the history of the mod. My main wheelhouse is taking technical developments in the TDM versions and interpreting them for layman (to varying degrees of success). That said, I am not particularly keen on being a public figure with my voice on a Podcast. If you have technical questions or questions about the mod history I can provide some background. 2 Quote Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod: http://www.indiedb.com/mods/the-dark-mod (Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

I have to say, I am really looking forward to that podcast! In my perception, TDM is the most incredible community achievement ever: The jump from mod to standalone; Continously adding new graphical features; Still being developed further even after 15 years and many faithful mappers over all those years. It's an incredible story to tell! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
demagogue 1265 Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 I'm looking forward to this too!

Kurshok 65 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 If you're doing a Thief podcast, maybe you should review some well known missions in the Thief/TDM community. What was that one Thief 2 fan mission with custom Ghouls? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peter_spy 1603 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) You should probably research the story first before making any judgements on this. Biker did a lot of bad things before he was banned, the community lost quite a few precious people thanks to him. And yet he still acts like a superstar in other places, e.g. harassing people over unfavorable reviews. And he has a big group of supporters willing to overlook everything just to get another mission to play. The least you can do is to make fun of it.

Thanks for your suggestion but the podcast already exists for 1,5 years We meet with the FM authors if possible and discuss the creation etc. Sometimes we even have original Thief Creators or guys like klatremus who does supreme ghost runs 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
