I don't like it myself. If I'd known it was going to be shown publicly I would have put them in better poses. I'm only happy with the elite city guard on the right, the middle two are in halfassed poses, and the guard on the left it stretched wide due to the perspective distortion you get in doom when things near the edge of the screen.

They look far better in-game.

Heh, EoC vs. Thief...

Too late to save us but try to understand

The seas were empty -- there was hunger in the land

We let the madmen write the golden rules

We were just Children of the Moon

We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world

Children, Children of the Moon watch the world go by

Children, Children of the Moon are hiding from the Sun and the Sky

You know the website that gets updated regularly? We're not talking about a release update. :)

 

Seems when I used the words "any updates" I guess I really meant ANY updates when you lot just meant BIG ZOMG MULTIMEDIA UPDATES

The new guard models definitely need a splash of color.

 

THat's easy enough, just stick an arrow in one, and you get a big splash of red.

I think you'll find that muted pastel colours suit the doom engine pefectly, and garish = vulgar.

As for the elite mecenary guards who are currently in black and white colours, the FM author can of course change the textures to suit his misison. The idea is that they wear different colours and emblems/crests depending on who they are working for. These are just the base templates really. I'll probably make a few differnt coluir and emblem texture sets myself before release - if I get some free time between having to answer fool comments.

Garish = typical more-gold-than-taste mansion decor. Are you saying the D3 engine is poorly suited to your favorite type of mission?

Are you saying we need to paint mansions and guards every colour of the rainbow just to hint at the owner's poor taste? You can show tacky extravagance without primary colours - just look at the interiors of Saddams turd-green palace.

Of course you can. Just not as well. Why handicap yourself?

 

No need at all, but bear in mind it will look shit. But since that is the affect that you are aiming for, I don't see the problem. ;)

Me too. Only I don't like the cage-like helmets...

Bear in mind, if you are going for a consistent mediaeval/victorian steampunk theme, that techniques for dyeing cloth in very bright colours were not readily available to europeans until the late 19 th century, and all but the most expensive of fabrics would be died in muted, somewhat dull colours. Dark pastels, greyish greens, pale yellows, brownish reds, are the go for realism. So try to avoid overly saturated colours if you want to a.) be realistic and b.) avoid garish hues. Please avoid the temptation to push the saturation slider all the way up to 127 on the HSL values, as few things in RL are ever that pure.

 

Of course, if you couldn't give a flying kcuf about realism or good taste, go nuts!

      Well, this is just sad...I was not able to play any Thief or TDM whatsoever, why? Too busy the past 2 months, this month I'm not as busy BUT it's also very heaty in my place.
      I can't play Thief when it's not at least 15c or lower, the game demands to be played when it's cold for...Well, may sound stupid but I'll just say it, for that "immersion".
      It's kinda like playing Quake during Summer, which unless it's the Summer Jam mod, I don't think it's as fun.

      The preliminary working titles for the missions in my now-in-development Partners in Crime series: 
      - Partners in Crime 1: A Mere Trinket
      - Partners in Crime 2: Beacon Burglary
      - Partners in Crime 3: In the Bleak Midwinter
      - Partners in Crime 4 (5 ?): Fishy Dealings
      - Partners in Crime 5 (4 ?): A Thief in the Night

      No title stealing, please.  In return, I promise to finish these. I do stress the preliminary part. Beyond the broad strokes storyline, plot, objectives, briefings and the (currently built) layouts of these FMs, I haven't fully decided about every single detail yet, including the exact order of the missions (4 and 5 might switch places, with the story adjusted accordingly). I want the overall plot to be plotted out a bit in advance and not suffer too much from inserting prequels later. I also prefer to let my FM building fill out part of the details naturally.

      Currently working on the second FM, and once I do enough work on the current prototype, I'll work on the first one, until I get that one released. Then complete the second one, get that one ready for release (hopefully) a few months later, and so on. I want most of the early missions to be fairly small and confined, and get a bit bigger as I grow more confident in my FM making skills.

      Though there is an overarching storyline to this series, the missions themselves are mostly episodic in nature. They factor into the character development of the two main characters I'll have in the series, but it's the kind of continuity where the mission's own plot and story wouldn't depend on it.
