Earlier this year, GOG began publishing mods. Doom 3 already has the Phobos mod published. It would not be that much of a stretch to get The Dark Mod on there as a mod for Doom 3. Anyone’s thoughts on this?

Plz vote for this to happen.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

Currently TDM is a standalone game not compatible with Doom 3.

My thought is that it could be nice, but I'm not sure what it would bring tdm. More players doesn't directly correspondent to more active users. With active I mean content creators and testers.

Well I think any outreach is good. Most users won't be that active, but a few will, and that's a few you wouldn't get otherwise. So in principle it's a good idea.

But again, the issue is that despite the name, it's not actually a Doom3 mod anymore, not even really a total conversion. It's a separate standalone game that happens to use its engine as a base, and even that has been turned into essentially a new engine too. 

Edit: In the big picture, the issue is that we've already been in touch with both Steam and GOG, and there were issues getting TDM as a standalone game on both of them, about which the team basically voted we didn't want to go through the trouble of fixing, at least for the issues involved at that time. We're not really the kind of team that wants to formalize into a corporation to get on Steam, and I forget the specifics of GOG now, but IIRC it was them turning us down, or anyway stopping replying to us, more than the other way around. But again in principle, or at least I personally think getting onto GOG is great if it's ever possible.

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