Announcing Thief: The Black Parade, a campaign for Thief Gold

[Lord Soth]

Waiting for this to come out, any idea on a date for release ?.

[The Mike]

I found out about this five minutes ago, and now I'm hyped as shit.

Looks amazing! Not to get salty, but why can't the folks at Eidos even remotely capture what a team of four people is knocking out of the park?! Ah, it's too late! THE SALT, I'M COVERED IN IT.

[Jack Lee]

Silently going nuts over this, love the way it looks

[skacky]

Small status update today: we're making good progress and two more expansive missions are now mostly finished. FireMage has also been working hard on the campaign's new tools and objects and they're all really good fun with lots of creative possibilities. He also made quite a lot of new AIs and revamped a few classic ones. We found an artist for the briefing art and we also finally found a voice actor for our (anti-) hero, Hume, who is none other than the very talented Goldwell!

Here are a few screenshots from these two missions. Still a bit empty for now but they won't be for very long.

[Gloria Creep]

This looks amazing!

[Dominus]

suuuuper awesome!

[mensch]

Can't wait to climb that cathedral! I'm still amazed by how much the mission screenshots ooze that unmistakable atmosphere of The Dark Project. Also, great that you've found an artist for the briefing art, it will undoubtedly enhance the whole campaign.

[A.J]

This can't be happening. Goddamn. Looking at those screenshots made my jaw drop.
I really can't wait to see more on this project!

[Shadowdancer]

I was trying so hard to forget about this upcoming campaign. One day I'd simply see the release and be surprised. And now I'm really excited again.
I'm grateful for the update and pleased to hear the good news, but you do realize you're causing a lot of impatient drooling in the community?!
Anyway, I hope you guys can enjoy working on this project at least half as much as it looks fun playing.
Now, what was I looking forward to...

TOP NOTCH!

Props to you for luring-in Goldwell!

[klatremus]

Nice work folks! I especially like the third screen down. Love those archways and how you can see through the glass door into the rooms beyond. A lot of depth in a simple shot.

Yeah, and look at all that marble

[Niborius]

I'm still so excited for this. Good luck on the rest of the project

[gamophyte]

Yeah, and look at all that marble

LOL I always farm the green areas first before going into anywhere.

[marbleman]

This is going to be like experienceing Thief Gold for the first time

Hah, that's just what I was thinking. The screenshots just scream 'atmosphere'.

[Jack Lee]

I kinda like how the main character is named Hume, a favorite philosopher of mine

[A.J]

Yeah. I do wanna hear more on this 'Hume' character and his backstory. He sounds pretty interesting

[zajazd]

How did I miss this? Hype is real.

[Marconiex]

I'll get excited when it's in my computer and I can click "PLAY"

[czyys]

I was looking for some fms similar to Chalice of Souls, Endless Rain or Dirty Money, and then I found this.
Now I am very much looking forward to the release of the campaign.

(..) warm glow behind soot-encrusted stained glasses from towering gothic spires and the menacing dark polluted clouds above, spartan religious chants, hissing furnaces and echoing hammers from mechanical cathedrals --- or simply put this picture,

Now that's the vision for the atmosphere that I can truly appreciate


I'm not a big fan of not playing as Garrett though, because it's hard to imagine someone as skilled as him from the lore perspective. But maybe you've already taken care of that as well, we'll see.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

You don't have to play well if it makes you feel better

[czyys]

You don't have to play well if it makes you feel better

Heh, I can hardly afford that playing a mix between Ghost and Supreme Ghost only.

But I mostly meant that even as a different protagonist you still use the same game's mechanics for hiding, climbing, lockpicking etc. So even though you're not Garrett it's hard to feel it through gameplay.

But I'd imagine that with proper lore I could get used to any protagonist, because it's really only a minor hiccup.

So yeah, basically I have high hopes for this one

[A.J]

Well, it's been almost 2 months since there's been any updates on this campaign.
How has work been going on Thief: The Black Parade? I'm just wondering

[bassoferrol]

Any updates in this campaign?
