Playing thief in Winter

Playng Thief in winter is very special. Much different than in summer. It feels much more cozy. :)

 

Well, here in Germany it's raining in summer most of the time, and that is no good way to play Thief. In autumn the weather slowly changes to rain and wind, so you get more into the mood. In winter it rains all the time, which is the perfect weather for playing Thief, until spring comes around again, when it starts to rain a lot here, and you don't get so much in the mood of Thief anymore. You need the proper winter raining to do this.

 

Finally some one who feels the same as I do!

One thing I also love about playing thief in winter is going inside the houses. The houses in Thief deadly shadows are always so cosy looking and almost all of them have a nice warm fire burning inside the house. It makes me feel so warm when I see that.

Yeah. That is one aspect that they capture really good. I often go out at night with my dog, and then I encounter houses with frontgards, which really reminds me of some Thief maps. Never had this with other games. And it feels really good to see the fireplace with a fire lit, when it's cold and ugly outside. :)

Well, a poor-mens-fireplace. :)

Yeah I also walk my dog at night, it's a different atmosphere.

 

But in australia it's currently summer, and you don't really feel like walking your dog when the sun is out, and plus the flys in australia are abosolutly annoying!

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
