The Dark Mod

Doom III mod | Released Oct 17, 2009

In The Dark Mod, you play a master thief living in a dark, sprawling city. A blend of gothic architecture and steampunk technology, the city contains great, belching chimneys, grand cathedrals, and medieval manor-houses. As a master of the shadows, you move through the city streets unseen, avoiding the eyes (and blades) of the city's thieves' guild, while doing jobs for the various political factions. Nobles, mages or the Church, it doesn't matter, as long as the pay is good.

September 13th, 2009 Well, I had hoped to be able to announce TDM's release before now, but we've had a couple kinks in the road. Our primary coders, Greebo and Angua, have had a new addition to their family which is keeping them pretty busy (basically they now contribute at human levels, rather than super-human). The mod is about 98% ready for release--all that's left is some final testing of the package and the 3 FMs that will come with it.

Well, I had hoped to be able to announce TDM's release before now, but we've had a couple kinks in the road. Our primary coders, Greebo and Angua, have had a new addition to their family which is keeping them pretty busy (basically they now contribute at human levels, rather than super-human). The mod is about 98% ready for release--all that's left is some final testing of the package and the 3 FMs that will come with it.We're a bit held up by a fairly sizable Training Mission, however. It's taking much longer to finish than we had hoped. We'd like to be able to release the training mission with the mod itself, as there are lots of new skills players might want to test out before leaping into their first mission. Not only that, but it's quite a beautiful map (see images). Either way, we're planning on having everything that will be released ready by the end of this month. We'll then be letting some non-team members do a sanity test of the package before officially releasing it to the community.If you've been waiting for the mod to be finished before going out and buying D3 (or getting it from Steam), I'd suggest looking around on your next shopping trip. :)

Yes, I saw this at your website when at school today. Very exciting news! I just got Saint Lucia the last week and played it through, and now this sooner or later comes along too. It will be so great.
