Post news Report RSS September Update - 2008

Realistic replication, two ways to stash a body, light some candles, and a fan mission!

Posted by on

Its late September, Fall is pretty much here, and what better time for an update?

To start things off we have have another video!
Candles are in the works for easier, faster placement for mappers, and you can relight candles with already lit candles.


We now have TWO ways of stashing bodies, dragging, and body SHOULDERING. Pick up that KO'd guard and drop him in a patch of shadows. If his leg is sticking out, drag it back into shadows so his buddy won't see him.

Our very own Komag has very skillfully reconstructed an old castle from a book and with amazing realism has re-created it in our very own Darkradiant toolset. Imagine the possibilites for future missions out there!

Castle Replica


LordSavage, one of our forum dwellers has suprised the Darkmod team by making the first unofficial fanmission with the Thiefsden alpha demo. You can read the details here

Heres are some of the other things we've had done since last update.

  • Blackjacking will be easier to do.
  • Working on getting the correct Ai sound propagation with different materials, (wood, stone, tile etc.)
  • Players will be able to push objects too heavy to pickup.

There you have it!

We're focusing more on the singleplayer aspects of the Thief style gameplay.

There is a mod like this for Unreal 2k4 thats multiplayer and very popular. Maybe after your done with the initial release you can start brain storming for multiplayer mode for a later release? That would blow alot of peoples mind. :)
