Hello all!

If you haven't heard of it yet, I think a lot of you here would be interested in Gloomwood, a game being developed by indie dev Dillon Rogers. It's a first-person mashup inspired heavily by Thief, System Shock, and similar titles.

For TechRaptor, a game website I write for, I had the chance to interview Dillon, and think you'd find it interesting. Please give it a read! There are plenty of cool screenshots, too!:

I'd love to know what you think about it!

Sounds pretty cool! :D

I see there's a few work-in-progress vids on his (https://www.youtube.com/user/ForbiddenDonut991/videos) YT channel as well.

Oh yeah, and some short Thief videos as well!

I especially like the Phantom's audio in this clip:

Chilling!

Overall, it's really looking good.

Nice. I've only been loosely following progress on this game over the years. Glad to see he's still working on it.

Just quoting this for any fan-mission authors reading:

Quote:

the Thief FM community seems to just spin gold constantly. It’s bonkers how good all of those folks are. It feels rare that a community can so totally and fundamentally understand what made a game good, and recapture all those elements.
