The Dark Mod project trundles onward for it's 15th year in a row. In that time we have improved our game engine in countless ways and have grown to over 170 missions!
To celebrate our perseverance and the years of improvements to come, we are hosting a contest to mark 15 years since the 1.0 release![/LEFT]

https://media.moddb.com/images/members/1/442/441719/talbot.pngNow is your time to demonstrate the mission design that best exemplifies your personal style and capabilities!
Please consider entering this event!
Unlike most recent contests, there is no defined theme and we are simply going to score based on our standard metrics of
Story, Gameplay, and Visuals with our standard weighted scoring:
Max Possible = Total Votes * 5 (Outstanding)
TotalMaxPointsPoss (TMP) = AllCategoryVotecount(ACV) * 30
Full Weighted Score (FWS) = (Gameplay score*3 + Visual score*2 + Story score) / TMP
Contest Submissions should be provided before October 16th so that players can start playing and celebrating on the 17th!The players have been keen to relay that they would like really creative missions so it may be worthwhile to examine our “Community Unusual Contest” to get an idea about the wild range of possibilities we offer to designers.
Also, since the contest submission is in October, there will probably be an increased desire for Horror themes.
The Dark Mod 2.12 was just released so including new 2.12 features is strongly encouraged.
Finally, it might be nice if authors name their protagonist Corbin to match the included missions.
( None of the above suggestions are requirements for the submissions. )
Please declare your intention to enter here or over at The Dark Mod forums. Thank you!pwl on 27/3/2024 at 17:55

I've been internally debating whether to broach this...
Do any T1/2 or TDS mappers want to join this contest and make non-TDM missions using the TDM universe lore?
If I get at least one interest mapper I'll expand the to include those games.

Thanks for asking! At least my hands are full with FMs I've been building, and maybe many others have a similar situation.

If you change your mind there is still plenty of time between now and October. :)
I'll stop by this thread periodically and see if any non-TDM folks want to participate.
After about mid-July there probably wont be enough time for any author to put together something with enough quality to win or rank highly
so that's probably a good cutoff point for this suggestion.

What a coincidence, I spent the last two weeks catching up with TDM missions... And now I learn about this!
Sure hope there will be many entries... I'm pretty fond of Deadly Shadows as it is, but let's be honest, TDM is how the third game should have looked like. So, the more missions, the more fun.

i would say thief 2 new dark is the all time best experience in thief ever in, i hope we get a lot of thief 2 new dark conversions of this contest

Any takers on the concept of making a "TDM" mission in T1, T2, or TDS ?
Any authors interesting in making a TDM mission to celebrate the 15th anniversary?
I'll keep checking back until July.

We have one party interested in remaking an existing TDM mission in T2. I think it'll be cool to see that :)
