The Dark Mod (Thief style total conversion)

Hi there!

I am posting here to help promote my favorite game modification "The Dark Mod". It's a total conversion mod that turns Doom 3 into a stealthy steam-punk game similar to the classic Thief series (Thief 1 & 2). Traditionally the folks who own Doom 3 aren't big stealth fans and aren't keen on the alternate-history setting of The Dark Mod... while Thief fans are a bit more receptive many are not willing to chance a purchase of Doom 3 to try the mod. I thought that since there are many Amnesia and Penumbra fans amongst the Thief and Dark Mod communities that I would create a thread here to see if there is a mutual respect and to introduce the mod to a new audience.

I also see that Amnesia has begun a "fan mission" tradition. Thief 2 players have 900 of them for their game. The Dark Mod is an extension of that tradition and there are currently over 35 fan missions.

If I were to name a Dark Mod mission that has a sufficient horror element to appeal to Amnesia fans for that aspect, I would recommend trying Sotha's "The Glenham Tower" (from his 5 mission Thomas Porter series).

Are you familiar with The Dark Mod?

Please share your thoughts.

Thanks,

RE: The Dark Mod (Thief style total conversion)

The Thief games are absolute gaming heaven, I love them. I have no interest in Doom 3 but I've been following the Dark Mod for some years now. I hope I can find Doom 3 somewhere for cheap, so I can play it soon.

Speed Building in The Dark Mod

Melan's latest mission, "Fiasco at Fauchard Street", was created as a Speed-building exercise. He documented the creation process, diary style, over at The Dark Mod forums.

I have conducted a brief interview to discuss Melan's Thief and TDM design and building processes.

Enjoy:
