Who else wants to see this in TDM? :laugh:

Maybe you can also get some inspiration of the movie "Wild Wild West" with Will Smith. The movie itself is really bad, but it features a lot of steampunk elements. Anyway, I guess you all know that movie already... :)

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of steambot that would fit in our setting. :)

You have to admit it would be hilarious. :laugh:

Imagine an old weird professor riding a small spiderlike robot.

 

From the TDM wiki about the Inventor's Guild:

 

A mechanical carriage that walks on spider-like legs was unveiled at one trade fair. Although onlookers were fascinated by the device, it was slower than a horse and too large for most city streets, so no order for one was ever placed....

Er... no, it's not. Ordinary Daleks are not powered by steam. They're biological creatures that live inside (and depend upon) a metal casing.

 

You need to watch more Doctor Who. :D

Fair enough. It is something that's demonstrated in the first season of the new Doctor Who, so it's not exactly obscure knowledge, but obviously you do need to actually watch the show to see that. :)

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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