The Perfect Dark mod is a UT modification based on Perfect Dark (N64). The basic premise is to combine the style and power of UT with the massive content of Perfect Dark, while at the same time improving upon PD's blatant errors (i.e., slow, cumbersome movement) and maybe adding (optional) new features. While the PD weapons will be, for the most part, true to the originals, some allowances must be made. For example, UT has no built in "Action" button (for opening doors, reloading, etc.) so this functionality must be built in using similar effects. The maps are true to the original, as much as can be, but cannot be perfect renditions. Some scaling issues have been uncovered in certain maps, as well as some questions of physical feasability. All in all, the maps are accurate representations of what once was... Movement speeds and accelerations are not quite addressed yet. Any Perfect Dark fan can tell you that you moved faster when strafing instead of just walking forward....

Greetings.

Well, I knew it was bound to happen some time.

The development of the Perfect Dark mod for UT has been stopped. Why? For more than a year, I have suppressed my own creative desires and conformed to recreating a classic. I loved it. And yet, as the months wore on, I hated it, too. There were so many ideas I simply could not do due to my commitment to the mod.

Well now, that's the main reason. I could give a lot more, but that's the only one that matters.

Fear not, I'm not out of the development scene at all. With the time I now have, I can branch out into smaller, more diverse projects, like weapon packs and small mutators and mods. If everything goes well, I'll get a new site up and running before year's end.

This doesn't mean that I'll never come back to Perfect Dark, though. I just don't know when I'll come back to it, that's all.

So in the meantime, I'll be building a new site and getting to work on some ideas I've had for a long time...

I am the physical manifestation of determination, the very embodiment of the human will. There is no stopping until it is finished. In short,
I WILL NEVER GIVE UP
