One for the very hardcore fans with no lives I think - who would wanna play a 2D game? Acceptable in 1994 but not now.

Look what happened to Heart of Darkness... And that was in 1998

Yes, all games must be 3d first person shooters. There is no other genre. There is no other kind of game. This is THE YEAR 2000, we have evolved.
Please, there are plenty of other kinds of games and genres and just because it's 2d doesn't mean it can't look good, and a game - even one like Thief - can be just as enjoyable in one type of 2d as it can be in another.
I still absolutely adore this idea and I still will personally beat down any man, woman or child who opposes it. So, you know, if you Thief2d guys have an opening on the team for person-beating, I can add a few things to my resume right now.

You are so wrong it's not even funny. You do know that new 2D games are still made, right?

rofl, very nice. Hey Avalon, we're needing a story/mission designer now, interested still? We have some ideas for a story, if you'd like i'll give you dev access to the forums so you can throw some ideas out. It'd be cool if you could design a mission or two. Even if you don't do it with the editor, just a layout and stuff. (though it'd be great if you did it with the editor).
On another note, we just added a new member to our team who is an interface designer from Codemasters in europe and he'll be doing some music and graphics to help out Hewer.

Awesome, I'd love to toss around ideas and what not, especially now that my T2X work is virtually finished. I'm not sure how much I could do in a mission capacity, as I imagine that the biggest bit of the mission design is art and my artistic ability ends at interpretive stick figures, but who knows. I'm all for story-fiddling, in any case. :thumb:

Okay, I'll set you up as a moderator so you can view the dev forums. If it asks you for a forum password just PM account: admin
Even if you can't do art for the missions you could do sort of like a level layout with a general idea of what each room would look like and scan it in as a jpg and post it, then one of the graphiocs people could go and make some backgrounds for it and you or he could put it into the editor. Something like that me-thinks.
Anyway, see you on the T2d forums.

Great! You can be
my bitch for once. Actually, no, since we'll both be moderators. Ah well, dream on.

Scripting for the levels is in! Now torches can be doused, doors can be opened, many other things.
