My new Thief 2 Fan Mission, Reflection in Red, is out! I am very proud of this one, and it is by far my most ambitious work in the Dark Engine to date. www.ttlg.com/forums/showt...

The warehouses' yard. It's a freezing night out there.

Haven't done any work on this one in a week, so I made an interior space for one of the warehouses.

Ah yes so now it’s become plain fiction. I’ve never seen anyone say this about the mod ever, and I read *everything*.

Continuing T2X. One of the things I like most about it is that its new setting, Sunnyport, is quite distinct from The City in terms of mood. Sunnyport has wider streets with shorter buildings, and is snowed in when you first arrive. The game really sells how cold it feels.

Well I've started yet another playthrough of Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age, along with the other members of Feuillade. I've always loved T2X, despite the fact it's too easy.
Stellar production value for an early 2000s mod, too. I very highly recommend checking it out if you haven't yet.

I'm at this point where I'm just walking around the level basking in the atmosphere with no NPCs around to bother me, totally not procrastinating doing patrols and stuff.
(I shot that ground texture, turned out great).

I highly recommend trying out Pigface. Everything looks and feels so miserable in this game, in a great way of course. The levels are open-ended and fun. I've been an absolute menace picking off goons one by one with my sniper rifle. >:)
For a next update, please allow us to rebind keys. 🙏

I'm almost done with the mission's brushwork, really not much else to do. There's no scripting at all as of yet, though. Anyway, here's a guest bedroom and a flooded cave.

We hiked to a signal tower at the top of steep forest hill the other day. It felt very STALKERish, perfect spot to fish for artifacts and get ambushed by a couple of Bloodsuckers.
Fitness app says climbing up there was equal to 82 flights of stairs.

Here's the picture I took, for reference. This is Sainte Blandine church in Lyon.

Since I'm getting close to the cells limit for my Thief 2 WIP I have to rely on meshes quite a lot, especially for the basement.
Also, I shot some pictures of the church near the office, and made a texture from one of its doorways. The texture is a first pass, I need to tweak it further.

I found some WIP screenshots of the Black Parade while perusing my hard drive. The area featured in the last screenshot is one of the few things that got cut entirely.

I also have Themes From William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which I believe is still their best record yet. This one definitely isn’t darkwave though.

Well in other news I made this little dining room last night. I want to keep working on the map but I think I'm gonna go to bed instead.
