THE DARK MOD was once a total conversion of Doom 3, and is now a STANDALONE GAME with the release of TDM 2.0! A dark and moody stealth game, inspired by the Thief series by Looking Glass Studios.

I am a major fan of Thief (1) & Thief 2. Unfortunately, Thief 3 was a huge disappointment for me. I had played the first two through at least 3 times each, but had never played any fan missions. After playing Thief 3 (TDS) only once, I deleted it and was left with a void which needed filling.
I heard about The Dark Mod very early on and waited ever so patiently for it; checking the web page every couple months or so until it was released. It definitely filled the void left by T3... and then some.
I joined the forum, played all released missions and eventually started mapping (something I had not tried since the days of Doom and Duke3D. I did not much enjoy mapping for those old extruded-2D games, and never made anything even close to being worth playing.
I have now released two playable (debatable, LOL) missions for TDM and am busy working on my third, which is far, far larger & more ambitious than my first two missions combined.
I am having a blast doing so and never would have made any missions without the awesome help and support of the TDM community. The forums contain a vast wealth of knowledge and friendly, helpful people. There is an excellent, and ever improving, WIKI to help new mappers, modelers, texture creators, etc.
