Upcoming & Abandoned FMs List

[Yandros]

Why have I been demoted from 46 to 52?

Surely you realized the list is alphabetical?

Phantom, you can add two more to my list. I just got an offer of help to finish Clue, so I'm about to take it out of the attic and dust it off. Also, I'm actively working on King Abedzen's Tomb again as well.

[The Phantom]

New update.

Two authors added, two others removed (because their missions are released) and updated the information of several authors (among which new missions, screenshots links, latest news links and assistance links).

also... Thief 2 Gold!
Current Status: Preparation & Planning
Estimated Release date: A long time in the future!

I'm not adding Thief 2 Gold to the list yet because, as you say, it's still in preperation and planning. As soon when there's a team to finish it, and the work starts, let me know.

I've just realized you're updating this all the time. I just glanced back at my entry and saw that work on A Richer Dust is halted after what I said earlier.
This is really useful and I wonder if it could be stickied. It'd be a shame if it disappears.

I was going to say that this thread won't dissapear very quickly as long as authors keep me/us informed about their progress, but now it won't go anywhere. Great that it could be stickied

[madwolf]

Excellent!

[Zontik]

Sorry, but the screenshots link doesn't belong to my "Untitled Mission". They belong to the old ones - "The Golden Book" or "The Last Page". I think that would be right to say "No screenshots".
What screenshots we can talk about?!! There is only scenery and objective list. 0.05% is done. But the work IS NOT halted. I'm just getting some inspiration and expierence before deep immersing in DromEd.

[RavynousHunter]

RavynousHunter: To prevent the list from becoming much longer, and because you haven't even started the mission in dromEd, I'm not adding your mission yet. As soon as you've made some serious progress like the other authors, preferably with some screenshots to show us, then you will be listed here.

Marshall: I'm not sure you know, but you're already in the list (see #42).

[RavynousHunter]

I have made some progress in DromEd with Into the Maw of Chaos...Again. im at about 5%, but thats just because my bro takes up most of the computer time.

[Sensut]

You can delete me from the list no59, the FM already out - Dracula3. Thanx.

Sensut,

I went to your website and clicked the 'go there' button under SCREENSHOTS.... and got a porn site?

I don't know what happening. Probably have problems on the server...

I've moved there: http://garrett.cjb.hu/dracula_main.htm

[Dia]

A thousand thanks, Phantom!! This thread is such a time-saver; now I don't have to waste time searching endlessly for updates on upcoming FMS anymore! (Dial-up connections are such a bitch!) This is a far easier way to keep tabs on how my favorite FM authors are progressing on their current FMs. Thanks again!

[Poison Ivy]

Seems like TMA seems rather popular among mission makers....

I was a bit disappointed to see no mention of upcoming T3 fanmissions. Personally, I think the third game has some wonderful material to work with, and it's certainly possible to make a great mission, as demonstrated in Krellek's Labyrinth and All the World's a Stage... As far as I know, there are only 17 T3 fanmissions made so far, and most of them very short, scrapbook works really.

I just wonder why it's the way it is...
Guess I'll have to work on becoming a mission-designer myself if I want to see any new missions.

[clearing]

I think (hope) soon will FM Bad Feeling (continuation The Walk) by Serge.
Screens.

Maybe the editor is in some way more difficult to use than DromEd ? I cannot make any comparison yet, though, as I have just installed T3Ed, and am not familiar with it.

[Aristed]

I’m nearing completion of my T3 mission so you can put me up there if you like. It’s the first thing I’ve done so it’s rather sketchy and not what I originally set it out to be but I hope people like it.

Author: Peter Willey (Aristed)
Upcoming Missions: Pagan Sewers (working title)
Previous Missions: None
Release Date(s): Unknown (fairly soon)
Progress: Nearing packing and objective.

P.S Poison Ivy it doesn’t sound like you’ve played The bridge yet, you really should its an absolute masterpiece with its own cut scene and artwork not at all scrapbook.

[The Phantom]

The reason this list doesn't includes T3 fm's yet is because keeping track of the T2 ones already takes enough time (you can see why ). Also I'm not really aware about what's going on over at the Thief III Editor's Guild.
But I'll make a start with adding t3 missions, if the author supplies me with the information needed.

Aristed: your mission will be the first

[Poison Ivy]

P.S Poison Ivy it doesn’t sound like you’ve played The bridge yet, you really should its an absolute masterpiece with its own cut scene and artwork not at all scrapbook.

Oh, I've played it all right - the very first I ever played, actually. I think I've played all the T3 missions there are... There are some masterpieces of plot and design, like The Bridge, All the World's a Stage, Krellek's Labyrinth... The Crypt isn't bad either. Most of the other ones are either too short *coughTheWalkcough* and/or too simple, without real challenges. A few seem under-tested as well. That's what I meant by scrapbook works.
The Bridge is definitely one of my favourites... As far as I'm aware it's also the only T3 mission with actual cutscenes. I think the Crypt may have had some but I'm not sure...

[theImmortalThief]

I have a few changes to report:
Due to a recent break through in the storyline and plot, I now have the name to part II and III of AKB and the storyline is about complete now. (I'm really excited about it, I think it has a few real good twists now and the third one now has the potential of being very interesting... If I may say so myself! )
These are the changes:

The Elemental Bane series:

Bane I: A Keeper's Betrayal (released)

Bane II: Cult of the Damned (Previously known as A Keeper's Betrayal II) (95% done- approximate release date: April 2007)

Bane III: Temple of Eternal Agony (5% done- No release date yet)

[The Phantom]

Dia: Thank you for the praise It's always nice to hear that this thread is handy for people.

theImmortalThief: Interesting development! But pity that the release date of Bane II has moved to april 2007

Yeah, I know. But I tried to give a cautious date. I'll be trying to hopefully beat it, not miss it. (Which is usually the case with release dates! ) I'm planning on releasing Bane III without too long of a delay!

I too would like to thank you for this fabulous thread. It's very informative. Also seeing the words "Halted" before one's project can be a really good poke to get some authors (I mostly mean myself) to get back to work on there projects!

The Phantom: The work on the missions are actually progressing, even if it's a little slowly, but progressing nonetheless. Could you please change the project status back to "progressing"? Thank you.

Maybe it will have that effect on Saturnine!
