Dark Camelot. Thief before it was called Thief

RPS has an interesting article about the evolution of the Thief idea, with quotes from key members of LGS and some old videos that are quite eye opening.

I just finished reading it thoroughly and it was very interesting, thanks for sharing. :)

I'd heard and read about Dark Camelot previously, but finding out about the earliest iteration of the game, the bizzare "Better Red Than Undead", was news to me. :D

There's an ogre in the DEDX01 package, just looked in the mesh.crf.

I suspected it might be different, but I only looked at the file names in the mesh crf and not the actual model. I thought the ogre model looked familiar so I checked the dedx package.. but I'm guessing the main difference between them is that the one from dedx only has one head. Ah well.

Would be cool if someone actually made that Dark Camelot game today.

I also remember LGS' plans to make a 60's spy agent infiltrator stealth game (I don't think it's Red, but was planned after Thief). Man, that would have been such awesome game! Makes me wanna cry that they had no chance with it.

If LGS only existed longer, they would have made few more classics we would be fans of today.

The game you're thinking of is Deep Cover. It's a shame LGS closed, really.

DEDX Ogre exist with two heads too.
They have just put the second head alone in a different .Gif file.
The guy who revived it has well-worked!

Also, the guy who made the cobra is alas, far away from LGS'idea...:erg:

You can find in TG the Cobra Texure named Full
And the ogre.

And their Guards that you see in the trailer.
You'll notice that the skin was completely different, it is like the Practise Dummy's in Keeper Training. :laff:

The Sewer beast and the SpiderBeast were also scary... Sorrow to know that we have nothing from it!
And it is sad that LGS havn't published their unfinished missions! That may be fun!

I don't know about thief 1 unfinished stuff, but there was actually a thread from Digital Nightfall with downloads for some unfinished missions for Thief 2. Well actually, I think they were supposed to be for Thief 2 Gold, but still.

What? I though these missions has been made by fans...
So it is really from LGS? Good!

If we can find T2 unfinished mission, I'm sure that is possible to find these damned T1 files!
That would be too sad if they destroyed it!
