I... what? Searching for it didn't bring up anything, and I'm afraid to delve deeper. What?

Was that thing meant as a joke, or were the gates of TDM community finally beached by the Tumblr-spawn hordes?
How dare you to even imply so, you heretic.
This is one of purest groups... Well, at least on Codex. There are more good people outside, but we have few of bringers of incline of that community around there. And we can try to get others... I mean, most of people retired.

Oh wow, those models are so awkward and ill fitting. This is like trying to put anime models into the early Thief games, I honestly don't know why someone would try to do something like this.
Bring back my burricks. Let me blackjack them.
Would love to have more of those, but non-humans are tough to model, animate, voice act and get into the game, requiring a range of skills that are pretty hard to find. I think the fire elementals are mostly working, there were prototypes for a "belcher" (burricks, although they weren't as lovely as in Thief), and for a few versions, we had a functional werewolf, but it had to be taken out because it used the imp's movement scheme, and it would have to be reconstructed for standalone.
Generally, this is one of my problems with the FM community - too much focus on "realism" and not enough on LGS oddities. Of course, I have never built a creature mission either, so I am part of the problem.
It wouldn't be that hard to create creature sounds for a burrick. Just pay someone 10 bucks so he can buy beer that he will then drink in one sitting, and let him burp into his microphone.
Bam, you got yourself an authentic burrick.
Don't even have to pay anyone, just do it yourself!
Also, someone should do proper whispering haunt voices for the TDM revenants. Last time I played TDM, they sounded very generic, none of the cool creepiness of Thief's haunts.
One thing I like in TDM is the lamp robot though. That one is awesome.

That Accountant 2 mission by Goldwell is simply perfect. I did not play Dark Mod in a long time, but this one got me hooked pretty quickly. It is like a memory trip through what made Thief great - great story, funny guards, weird shit - it is all there. And there are throwbacks to probably all well-known levels of originals. Well done, time to play this some more and try the Penny 3rd one.
Here is a piece of news that will be quite important for TDM mission designers: TDM 2.05 will come with a ton of new architectural modules which will be of tremendous help for newbies, and a valuable asset for practiced mappers. Modular building lets people assemble some of their architecture from premade elements which offer a generous amount of detail from the start. Of course, you need to use them imaginatively to avoid repetition, but it is going to be a great tool in an already broad and accessible toolset.
Yuge!

Finally got around to playing a couple of missions. The base engine is really, really, nice - there's very few things I miss from the original games in this regard, and being able to mantle onto drawers and into vents etc. has become very seamless. It's still a pain in the arse to highlight shit and pick them up, though.
Tried the packaged St. Lucia, and then the Accountant 2, which is a very nice thievery mission and then goes off the deep end with stupid supernatural zombie crap right at the end (and apparently that's where that series is going).
The default settings for guards hearing/visibility seem a bit too stupid, but that's why it's nice you can fool with them individually.

In recent news, TDM is now up on Steam Greenlight - something that will hopefully spread awareness about the project while keeping it as free as it has always have been. Please consider voting if you acknowledge our agenda.
And there is a new trailer since the old one was getting seriously long in the tooth:
Also furthermore, the long-delayed 2.05 is out! It features the previously mentioned new architecture models - which will be a godsend to editors, particularly newbies - a new intro mission, further performance fixes, and a bunch of models.
