Just Waiting For Alit Up Date.

[Slash]

well since everyone has asked just about every question they can ( i cant think of one ) im just going to ask how its going. got any exciting news to let the thief community in on? got any ingame stuff we could see, maybe a guy geting knocked out or something. a trailer is a good idea to. make a trailer or video of some cool stuff and post it around the net. get more poeple interested. let people know thief is still around and excite some people. id love to see whats up with the mages btw. what kind of cool concept are u guys takeing with them. imo they should have been used more in the 2nd game. not mech's it should have been the mage's. but thief 2 was good ither way i just think that mages are as cool as the keepers or the hammers.

Well, the surprise is coming soon, and it should be tantalizing enough

 

I'd say more but we want the surprise to be a surprise, so unfortunately you'll have to wait till then

[Slash]

how did i guess you would say somthing like that lol. i figured as much. cant wait, and hope its not to fare off.

We don't do surprises any more. We just release what we want to release and hope people enjoy whatever progress we make.

LOL yeah, we want to keep it secret till we let it out as one balloon. I like the pic of the day (or week) idea though. But I can imagine that it would quickly exhaust things which we want kept secret for a surprise. I don't like secrets much either but I believe in this case it's much better, mostly because of Team motivation. eg: If we keep showing pics of untextured guards or beta blackjacks which swing super fast or something, then many people would just keep complaining about how the BJ swings quickly rather then be happy seeing progress at all. Of course there are those who appreciate every bit they get to see, but the most common human behaviour is greed, after all, you'd rather keep your earnings to yourself rather then share your pay and a bludgers pay equally between yourselves right? Basically, people are never happy with what they have (most of the time), eg: I get Morrowind and I absolutely love it for the first 15 hours of play because it's so cool being able to walk around the world etc. Then after a long time I start to get sick of the lack of voice acting and the shitty physics and then I start to complain and look for a newer better game.

 

Do you see what I'm trying to get at?

One picture a month makes that picture all the more precious than once a week. The more conservative about details one is, the more those details will matter to your fan-base, the more closely they will be inspected and thought over.

This was made for a HL2 project (duh) but it applies on any modification

[New Horizon]

does this mean with in the week month ???? when.

 

When it's done. Can't give you anything more at the moment unfortunately. If we knew, we would say so.

[Dram]

Yeah, pretty much the biggest problem atm is that people might pop up and do a shitload of work one month, and then nearly nothing the next - be it from work or uni or whatever. But as Spar mentioned somewhere else, as soon as we consider it done we will release it, we won't hold it for a date like christmas just to have that date look good.
