Night-Blade

[Unstoppable]

Some of you are very skilled :ahem: and could put that skill to good use. Why not change the face of gaming and help make the first great mod that will push UT 3 where it needs to be?

 

Night-Blade needs your help fellas!

umm, because we are working on the Darkmod? Maybe you've heard of it

[New Horizon]

Yeah man. It's one thing to petition for help on TTLG or the EIDOS forums, but come looking right here on our own Mod forums? That's kind of silly. I'll go post on the Nightblade forums and ask them for help with our animation while I"m at it. lol

sorta nice to see Nightblade is still alive, but yeah I don't want any Dark Mod contributors spending time on anything else!!!

[Unstoppable]

Ok sorry .

[Springheel]

I wouldn't hold my breath. That mod was in production long before TDM was even thought of, and after years of work, they switched to a different engine (usually the death cry of any mod effort). Since then their updates have basically been that they're porting over old assets to the new engine. At that pace, they should be able to release sometime around 2015.

Yeah, I did some models for this about a year before I joined TDM. They've been going at if for at least 6 years already. Still, the fact they've stuck with it so long, means they're probably going to stick with it to the finish, and they do have a track record of making finished games.

They switched from and earlier version of UT to the latest version, so its not a huge leap.

Those old low poly models I made are going to look like shit in the latest UT engine though.

The models you made are top of the line. Much better than what we have in Thievery that's for sure.

on somewhat of a side note, does anyone know if the mod for UT3, Thieves of the Shadow Age (similar to Thievery UT) is still being made? or is it dead? As far as I can tell, nothing new has happened with it since like october, which makes me think it might be fizzling out, but i hope not, it seemed promising.

The thought of how much work and how much time would be needed for this mod, makes me feel ill :S . I'll stick with TDM

...they should be able to release sometime around 2015.

Since Dalai and some of the other devs have been busy making Alien Swarm, and now Alien Swarm: Infested which hasn't been released yet, Nightblade has been delayed for ages. But now we will be uploading regular alpha builds soon for anyone to download.

That is good to hear. Would be a waste if all their work bore no fruits.

Want some salt with that statement?

 

The first public NightBlade-Alpha has been made public. Details can be found here.

Even better to hear I do not have UT3 myself yet, but I intend to get in soon and then I'll give it a try. I'm assuming that most things have currently been ported over (models etc) but not code-wise yet, correct?

[Springheel]

Well, we'll see. I certainly wish them luck, but according to their main site, "this alpha represents just a few weeks worth of work with the Unreal Tournament 3 code."

[Komag]

Wow that's great news! A public release can hopefully be a shot in the arm for the mod. I tried and just never got into Thievery, but hopefully NightBlade can have more success Congrats on this small milestone!
