I am very proud to announce on behalf of our team Feuillade Industries that The Black Parade, our unofficial expansion for Thief Gold, is out TODAY!
It's a brand new game featuring 10 missions, 4 new tools, 30 minutes of gorgeous cutscenes and more!

Something pretty big happened today. A prototype of Thief 2: The Metal Age, dated Nov 4, 1999 was released on the Internet. It is, as you imagine, an absolute treasure trove so let's dig in, shall we?

I’ll be very polite: while I agree with what you’re saying I find your use of emotes particularly disrespectful towards my colleagues and others who have no say in decisions like these.
To everyone whose been pestering me for years about why we didn't allow Moon Studios to get acquired by a big publisher...
That's why.
I've lived through the 90s and saw what happened when smaller studios got acquired by EA.
Never again 🤣😂

Happy 10th anniversary to E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy, released on this day in 2011.
I am still very proud of this game, my first (and so far only) professional release. I'm very happy that it got a cult following over the years with some incredible memes.

"Why do modders make better mods and maps than paid devs?"
I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that they can take as much time as they want and make content that is essentially the culmination of years of iteration over the same game that already exists.

@Johny_Scissors
That’s not the problem, I agree with that. I have a problem with the use of emotes, as if everyone losing their jobs after an acquisition is responsible for said acquisition in the first place. As in “look how clever I am”. That doesn’t gel with me.

Holy shit Fortune's Run is several chef's kisses in a row (yes, I'm only checking it out now). You've got parkour, light-based stealth, cool melee, proper 90s diegetic UI (with a crosshair similar to System Shock's) AND it's set in one of the grittiest cyberpunk world I've seen.

You can save Farkus from being killed at the beginning of Assassins in Thief by throwing an object so it collides with the assassin's arrow but he will eventually die of a heart attack regardless.

Possibly unpopular opinion: Predator and The Thing are near perfect films but they both suffer from the same problem which prevents them from reaching perfection to me: they both show an alien spacecraft at the beginning, which dilutes the mystery.

Last thing I'll say for now — I'm an honest person and the people who know me know I have an aversion towards corpo stuff.
I am proud to work at Arkane, a studio I consider to be the best in the biz and I am doubly proud to work under Dinga's leadership.
This is absolutely terrible. Permission to be human : to any executive reading this, friendly reminder that video games are an entertainment/cultural industry, and your business as a corporation is to take care of your artists/entertainers and help them create value for you.

The situation 343 is facing and honestly the overall discourse around games and developers online is a clear example of why I decided a while ago not to engage with gamers anymore. It is simply not worth the hassle.

The intro for the game is of lesser quality and is quite unfinished: it is missing a lot of audio cues and uses the music from Thief 1's intros. The biggest difference though is the quote at the beginning.

Honestly the people who have access to the film have a moral obligation to leak it at his point. Fuck the studios.
David Zaslav never actually watched ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ and is still intent on now deleting the movie.
Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy only saw a directors cut.

E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy, which is so far my only released title (finished, at least). It made me feel very proud to have contributed to this game even though not everything was rainbows and sunshine, and the initial reception wasn't very good.

Decided to delve into custom maps for DUSK! First one I played is Vertigo City, available here. It's sprawling and features large open areas and much tighter ones. Not too difficult but no slouch either. My biggest criticism is that it's VERY dark.

Part of the reason why The Black Parade has been in dev for so long and is still not finished yet is precisely that. We are making some of the most complex, largest and most dense Thief levels ever made on our free time and it takes an ungodly amount of time to get it right.
It takes both David and I several months to make *1* Gloomwood area in the time it took just David to make 4-5 DUSK maps.
The density, AI scripting, setdressing, room brushing and bug fixing process for an imsim is complex and requires a ton of effort.

Here's the mockup I made before Kingsal (who makes *amazing* TDM missions) painted it.
Booted up The Black Parade just to ensure it works for tonight's stream. Greeted with this lovely custom main menu that sets the mood while feeling extremely authentic to the '90s era. Already a great sign of a team who really cares about the source material.

Deathloop first impressions:
- I love the VA
- Artistic direction is phenomenal
- Game reminds me of NOLF more than anything else
- Stealth seems like an afterthought but the gunplay is top-tier and really fun
- Level design is amazing as usual with Arkane

That and immersive sims are impossible to market to a wide audience because the thing immersive nerds care about are completely different from what the average gamer cares about. This isn't an elitist comment, just that immersive sims are very niche.
"The reason why Prey bombed was because they didn't market it. If they marketed it, it would have done well."
*Deathloop gets marketed*
"The reason this game will bomb is because they over-marketed it. If they marketed it less, it would have done well."

No joke but I am a person who has respect for inanimate objects. For example, I never take it out on inanimate objects when I'm angry because a) someone worked to make it and b) it didn't do anything. This makes me feel really weird inside lol.
Modern times in Estonia. A robot which had become stuck in the snow, saw me coming, and asked with a synthesised voice whether I could help out. So I did, and both of us carried on with our day.

Thing to keep in mind as a creator:
- It's very easy to ignore 1,000 positive messages and focus on the only negative one.
- Usually people are more prone to writing negative messages especially in the age of social media/discord. People who like things are usually quiet.
