So I've been watching a lot of FenPheonix on youtube who has a Let's Play series of videos for Thief1+2, and he has over 400 videos on his channel now. I really like his running commentary very tongue in cheek.

Anyways, I think I finally pestered him enough he finally tried DarkMod again but I think he could use some encouragement. He just started the training mission and could use some pointers + friendly suggestions.

Any exposure TDM gets is good.

I think this will be a rather unique insight into a newbies first time thoughts when playing the mod, watching and listening to what about the mod he likes\dislikes, what surprises him what he hates o

Oh come on, it is about bjs, bjing, and there is swinging! The level is even named Swing! And don't forget all the steamy trusting action going on. Things get sometimes really hot and then wet.

I messaged him when I was trying to figure out how to record T2 walkthrus myself, especially for dealing with the gamma problem for T2 recordings & recording sound (your voice & the game-sound, getting the right balance), and he was very helpful. I didn't like his talking at first either but it grew on me too... And it's still much better than a silent walkthru in this case. Most of all I'm just very happy walkthru videos are getting made.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

That's pretty much what I was figuring. There have been a few people who've made Let's Play of Darkmod missions, but none of them have made a large series of all or most of them like this guy is likely to do. Very prolific.

Not bad. I guess a lot of commentary making for general games, you need to be a bit of a smart ass, try to be funny...

 

Sometimes he was funny, sometimes a bit annoying. He did rip on some stuff, but he gave some praise too. Really funny when he did the rope swing 'this is stupid, dumb dumb dumb...oh shit, I made it first try..." lol.

Yes, rope swinging needs love.

 

I usually prefer walkthrough videos without some annoying kid's voiceovers. But this guy isn't a kid for sure and he doesn't annoy me at all.

 

The only minor issue: he is a little too jumpy with the mouse. It's a different kind of art to play a game or to record a screencap -- in the latter you should act more like a cameraman, slower and smoother movement etc.

I enjoyed while watching. He's talking in a good way compared to some of talktive commenters who make my ears blood. Since he's newbie it's another reason to watch. :)

 

I recorded a video of the mission "how it's supposed to be", incluing door locking & listening and body shouldering with different route. Feel free to link this video to him. He needs this most.

Could point out things that need addressing that others have grown used to. Just a thought. And since it's all recorded it's even better lol.

Wow I knew water arrows would stream water down but I didn't know by that much. Never actually tried it.

 

Also he had the right point with the crates. The Half Life style of worldsim is so annoying to deal with after playing TDM.

 

Lol@ what's this do? what's that do? herp derp ... *throws pot down*

Funny, I think that's how a lot of people are. They may give it a quick try and give up on it, but they play more and they realize it is quite good.

I think that's the main issue we've had with the TTLG crowd personally. Possibly worse there because a lot of those people have seen it develop further and still have the earlier day impressions, where as someone who plays 1.07 first will be more impressed.

      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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
