Thief-inspired Doom 3 Mod 'The Dark Mod' Released
by Alice O'Connor, Oct 19, 2009 10:15am PDTThe Dark Mod, a much-anticipated Doom 3 mod heavily inspired by Looking Glass Studios' seminal Thief first-person stealth series, has finally made it to beta over five years after development began. Snag the 1.4GB download from FileShack.
Only four missions are included as developer Broken Glass Studios--a name hinting at just how "inspired by" Thief the unofficial mod is--views The Dark Mod as a "mapping toolkit" for fans to create their own missions, using its custom editor DarkRadiant.
The Thief series will officially continue with Thief 4 from Eidos Montreal, who is currently exploring further hallowed PC gaming ground with the development of Deus Ex 3.

does anyone else look at that pic and think it looks exactly like a myst screenshot?
I mean, yeah, it's almost a decade after realMyst came out and half a decade after doom 3 came out but...

In general it all looks pretty good I think. But it definitely needs a lighting pass - get some volumetrics (or fake ones ) in there, try and light areas with both a harsh shadow casting light and something to fill at least partially, as well. They could be aiming for low system resource use and low minimum PC requirements too - but they could have taken a page from the lighting in doom3 itself; it was pretty much the optimal use. lack of scaling shadow opacity really ages the tech too - it's been five years!
