This was a very long development period! Phew!

I’d like to thank Bikerdude for doing all the beta testing so we didn’t need to have a long beta testing thread.

[Amadeus]

Finally. About time we get these long-sought features. Just point me to the download link

Replacing sounds like the following?

Finally!!

Ray-tracing when

[chakkman]

That's a very... sweet looking thief.

[lowenz]

maybe eventually we'll get rid of that old 1998 bug, that strange gem flashing in the bottom part of the HUD......completely ruining the immersion!

:v

Sounds pretty good, and I'm looking forward to it. Looks like a taffing good time, tbh.

Might I suggest a name change, though?

DOOM 3 was DOOM³.

The Dark Mod is no longer a mod, so how about The Dark³ (TD³)?

It took me a minute, until I noticed the date, thank you all

Why is that a bug?

[Epifire]

Sadly, this build had canceled the much anticipated prop hunt mode; as the team concluded the player hiding in plain sight as a household object might break realism.

With the headline, I almost thought this was a real announcement, especially since it also comes from Gold.

But when I read it, I quickly realized what he meant. He also didn't dare to make it seem real for an April 1st joke, because then too many would have believed it...like that you can now convert everything quickly thanks to chatgpt and therefore you don't migrate to UE 4, no,  you migrate to UE 5, and chatgpt then also uploads the game immediately on Steam, because chatgpt, so the highest courts in Europe and the USA have decided, is a legal entity and is allowed to do that!

The developers yearn for the mines.

Let me ask serious question. When will Dark Mod get the number version 3.0? What conditions should met to get that title?
