Zoo Level?


Kurshok

Recommended Posts

As an idea for a mission, what about sneaking into a rich part of town's Zoo, sneaking past the guards, and stealing a rare animal egg for a cabal of beast smugglers? It would serve as a way to show off fantastical animals and normal beasts of the Dark Mod world. A lore sort of level.

I can't recall a zoo-themed FM in Thief or TDM off hand, so it'd be original fare that's for sure. Animating quadrapeds is a serious challenge. But it would be admittedly amazing if someone pulled it off. You know you could use some of your apparently boundless imagination & creative energy to actually make an FM one of these days... ;)

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

I actually don't have a gaming computer, sadly. I'm a console pissant. Nor do I have any idea how to code or program or map. But I figured I had a good backlog of ideas, and decided to share them here, like my idea of "journey to a flat planet" where you land on the side of the arctic ice wall of a flat world based on flat earther conspiracies, and encounter magical ice caves and white furred manbeasts.

I've done my first maps on an office laptop that got no better than 20fps, and mapping can be quite straightforward with no prior knowledge needed (unless ofc you want to add fantastical creatures that don't exist yet). Lots of great step by step video tutorials out there, like Springheel's. Where there's a will there's a way.

I'm autistic and don't really have anyone who could walk it through with me. Most I can do online is sign up to forums and watch porn lol

I bet you could still make a 1- or 2-room FM in 30 minutes. But anyway alright, we can consider these threads as your creative contributions then. 😁

So you don't actually play TDM either?

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
