But... wouldn't "Thief Deadlier Shadow" be a bit unoriginal? :D

Frankly, The Dark Mod is as good and close as it gets for me.

Yeah, I was kind of joking about it. Although I found some people take the idea very serious.. 😉

Interesting thought.

Personally I think Thief is done, there was a trilogy. If someone makes a new thief, just make a new game, with a new story, protagonist and possibly gameplay. Thief fans that only want pure Thief gameplay, can just play TDM. Not to say this is the only thing TDM has to offer.

Theoretically it would be really nice to see a remaster of the 3 Thief games as one Thief game,

with an optional city hub between all and full mod support, where you can plant your missions inside the city hub (this means 3 separate game-mode's), just some personal ideas

but I think it's either not going to happen, or if it is, it will not be perfect. Putting these Thief games in a new engine, will alter gameplay, for the good, but possibly also for the bad. We've seen it before..

If you don't have hopes for this particular engine to deliver a Thief game for you, then there is a very similar engine in development, that I stumbled across, called Delightfyl: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvdgY_EATxvWNjeLYKeFVuA/videos

...or at least I think it's a standalone engine. It looks a bit different, but maybe it's just a mod of this engine.

Anyway, my point is that it's not beyond of possibility for very few people to come together and produce a full Thief-like game. "Nature will find a way."

No that is just based on Unreal Engine (4 or 5):

I already said it, just don't make it official Thief, that raises expectations too high. Also, it's probably better of with indie devs.

Big text moment

Embracer CEO Sees Great Potential for Legacy of Kain Remakes/Remasters/Spin-Offs

 

If they do a remake of Soul Reaver, I hope they include the content that didn't make it in the original due to time issues. There's a guy on YT that went through all that content and would make the game even better. A 3rd person version of the first Blood Omen would also be great.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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 ?
