what's in the works ?

[peispud]

Now that the first missions are out of the way, how many new ones are in the works and how far along are they ? Also will they be hosted on thiefmissions.com and thief-thecircle.com ? Damn, the first ones were so good I want more

[Stormbringer951]

There'll be some that will be hosted on Komag's TDS site, that's for sure. I think that thiefmissions and the Circle would probably accept them as well.

[DeathStage_12]

I'm also interested to see how many builders are currently working on missions. I can recall the chaotic early days of Thief FMs where mission hosting was uncertain and you were never sure if something was just around the corner. Now there are several searchable databases and threads for upcoming / in progress missions.

 

Here's my sales pitch:

I am currently working on a tomb raiding mission tentatively titled "Tomb of Horrors" (R.I.P. Gary Gygax) that I hope to have completed by January. If I'm really motivated, possibly earlier. Dark Radiant is a beautiful thing...so much easier than DromEd.

It would be good if we had a sticky thread like these:

Good for latest screenshots of what people are working on.

[SneaksieDave]

Yup. There's currently one in general but it should probably be moved to the editing forum, or FMs. Then we just need people working on 'em.

I wonder how long it takes so we can have more missions!

I bet there's a lot of people starting to learn how to map. In a couple of months we might see the first ones

Even BrokenArts is dropping hints that she wants me to work with her to make one...   She's never done anything in a map editor, and I've done little more than the tutorials with Dromed and Dark Radiant.

There's so much anticipation around when there'll be more that I wouldn't dare to release one first. My first ever mission doesn't need THAT much scrutiny.

 

I'll probably end up cooking something up that I'm kind of happy with and hide it behind the release of a relative heavyweight. 

 

 

[STiFU]

Nah, just throw drop it on us when you feel it's ready. We'll be gentle...

I've a suggestion:

 

 

 

 

I'd like to have 2 seperate forums. one for unreleased fm's and the other one for the released fm's. I think when there will be a lot of fm's, it's gonna be a bit unclear.

 

 

[Master Thief]

why 2 different forums? topics aren't good enough?

[Berny]

why not. if there are 30-40 missions you wouldn't know where the (un)released ones are.

 

 

 

 

 

[Springheel]

If it gets to that point we can certainly add another forum. At the moment one is probably enough.

[Berny]

okay.. that's what I wanna hear.

 

I'm confident  that this will happen soon caus this is a fantastic mod und with all the cool christmas missions, maybe there are gonna be more players!!

You know that Purah's FM Calendra's Legacy did a version of Tomb of Horrors, right? I think it's still cool if you do one ... It's like a different interpretation/inspiration of something. But you should know that that one is out there, too (and in a famous FM) and might play it if you haven't already -- But granted he took big liberties with it and took it in a different direction. Anyway, someone would mention it eventually, and this may be old news to you. But yeah, I'm interested in seeing a Dark Mod version since everybody loves Gygax and that module is sort of historic.

Special Thanks to:

- Gargy Gygax for writing the Tomb of Horrors (an antique AD&D module that inspired

and provided some artwork for Arkhyn's Tomb in Mission #1)

[Komag]

Ha! I had no idea about that. I once started a Dark Mod map (a couple years ago!) to recreate The Sunless Citadel, but I didn't get further than the first few rooms, and those were only very basic.

Liberties are needed, since ToH is a very think-outside-the-box-or-die kind of affair; much of it would not translate well to a computer game. Now if someone did Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan or something inspired by it - that would be something.

 

BTW, a bit of odd technical trivia on Arkhyn (the demilich of CL):

 

He is technically a door. Yes, you heard it right. The "rise into the air" effect was created using the "slidy door" property.

 

Dromed's full of mysteries.
