This was just announced on the Black Cat forum this morning, big news. Night Blades Alpha, which will be the new Thievery, using UT3. Take a look. :)

We've just released our first alpha. This is strictly a work in progress - we make no guarantees about the playability of the release, and we know there are a large number of bugs and missing features. Details on the release can be found on (
http://www.night-blade.com/testing.html) Nightblade's Testing Page.
Some of the notable features of the current alpha are:
- Gullonefox's guard model.
- Converted Darkened Enlightenment
- Experimental silent but slowed opening of doors when walking or crouching.
- Some experimental gameplay changes, including the stashing of loot by entering the exit zones.
It should be noted that the first time you play each map there will be a long load time as UT3 generates texture information and caches it.
Bugs can be reported to the (

If the UT3 engine wasn't a horribly unstable piece of shit I'd care.

Sounds like good fun I can't wait.

Don't you think they will do everything in their power to make it stable. You don't want to play it, don't. Others do. Go elsewhere then.

Oh bollocks, I thought this was going to be for UT2004. In fact, didn't they originally switch from UT2003? Ah well... I guess it keeps them all nice and current. I guess I'll just have to wait until UT3 is in the bargain bins before trying Night Blade.

Don't you mean the opposite of that?
Also, I didn't even know anyone was still working on this thing. I figured they'd abandoned it.

Hah, I say encourage instead of discourage. They'll make it work.
If it was abandoned, we would of been told it was.

First T2X - Shadows of the Metal Age...
Then a Dark Mod Alpha...
Thief 2 Multiplayer Discussions...
Not to forget the Open DarkEngine Thread...
Now Nightblade Alpha.
I love it when a plan comes together! :D

Do you realize the history behind the people that are making NB Alpha?
