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.

In technical terms, our goal is to create a complete conversion of the Doom 3 platform, turning it into a stealth-based game. We will be creating new and improved AI, and new models and textures that support a 'steampunk' genre made popular by Looking Glass Studio's "Thief" franchise.

This mod is, first and foremost, a toolkit.  Although it will ship with some playable maps, our goal is to provide people with all the tools necessary to create their own Medieval Steampunk Fan Missions.

Our team has been hard at work lately, creating new models, textures and beginning the process of coding weapons and animations. It's a very exciting time.

We also have found time to create a small Christmas gift for the fans of the mod. This surprise has been worked on in secret for several weeks by our member of many talents Tyrot and our equally talented Lead coder Sparkhawk, who wrote the concept for what you are about to see. Enjoy the teaser which you can find here. :)

You will need the XVID codec to view this presentation.

The game itself might be outdated, but you'll be seeing the engine around for a couple of years yet in games like Prey, Quake Wars, RTCW2 and others. And besides, it's guaranteed to be released eventually, and open source is one of the many goals of this project.

Doom 3 is pretty dated, so it's naturally cheap, you can get it for like 13$ here where i live...
