My Thief 2 FM, Eye of the Sea, is out. ~ Lord Gideon once pillaged the island of Perditas in search of a sacred gemstone, the Eye of the Sea. Failing to find it, he instead built his vacation home there. Years later, you're after it, but you're not the only one... ~ www.ttlg.com/forums/showt...

Now playing Misguided Souls, another Thief 2 fan mission by Nicked.

Nest of Vipers is a masterclass FM from Nicked, a massive and intricate mission set in a foreboding wizard's academy. Truly impressive (and oppressive) atmosphere. Get it here: www.thiefguild.com/fanmissions/...

I played the short Thief 2 fan mission "A Shadow in the Water", by nicked. I like this kind of mission which are ostensibly a simple robbery, yet it's hinted right from the start that there's something more going on, some mystery or supernatural complication to resolve.

David Lynch’s The Elephant Man and Eraserhead were primary reference points for @dthron.bsky.social 's style for Thief.

For #portfolioday... I'm still working on it! In the meantime, please enjoy this big ol' feature I wrote for Retro Gamer Magazine. It's about Looking Glass Studios, the Thief series, and the future of immersive sims - all of which I love dearly: bit.ly/thieflegacy

A lifetime ago I had the pleasure of interviewing @dthron.bsky.social, taffer extraordinaire, and the artist behind Thief's wonderful cutscenes. We delved into his inspirations, creative process, and all things Thief-related. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I've posted my full interview with Thief's artist and cutscene director @dthron.bsky.social on substack. I referenced this interview a lot in my deep dive on Thief's aesthetics and once again, I'd like to thank Daniel for taking the time to answer my questions. open.substack.com/pub/pc2000s/...

Blackjacking a guard and leaving the body on a slope, body slides down into a patrol path and alerts everyone in the map. It was only on the return journey I realised why everyone went crazy.

What a great game. Even as a latecomer to this party (the game is as old as me lol) it showed me how much art direction, level design, voice acting, narrative focus, etc. can make a game almost timeless, even with very dated graphics.

So many amazing in-game moments. However, my most memorable experience playing it was hiding in a corner, intensely observing guards, when my sister crashed the family car through my bedroom wall.

Winds of Misfortune is now version 1.1. It contains a few bugfixes but most importantly a massive performance gain thanks to @vfig.bsky.social and Jayrude. I highly recommend you download this version and replace 1.0 if you downloaded it. bsky.app/profile/skac...

I've been looking for ways to encapsulate the aesthetics of these games beyond sharing little clips, and I've been attempting to do that by writing about them. Here's my write-up about 1998's Thief (no paywall or email subscription needed)

Thief was the game of my childhood. I used to sit by my brother's side and watch him play for hours. We were and are still fascinated by the atmosphere. At the time we watched religiously all the cutscenes, I still know them by heart. But brr the zombies did terrify me! @saaamoth.bsky.social

Thief changed the way I thought about games by emphasizing avoiding combat

I played the demo of Thief (Lord Bafford's Manor) and I had never experienced anything like it. I've spent my entire career trying to capture that magic.

definitely one of the all-time great games in general. amazing how much a game from 1998 can run laps around so many contemporary AAA games in so many ways. check out my big piece i wrote for the 20th anniversary back in 2018 medium.com/mammon-machi...
