I've always wanted to see a Thief remaster (if it was done right), and never thought anyone would actually do anything like that. I realize this is just a demo and may never be anything more, but it's still really impressive nonetheless. Great work!

Right click > This Frame > Open Frame in New Tab (Firefox)
This is pretty cool though I must admit I'm not a fan of the T:DS style distance fog and color choices.

Looks interesting, nice job. What is your plan, to recreate the game, including standard Thief gameplay mechanics, or is this more of just a bit of experimentation on the visual side of things?

Seems to be a complete rework of Thief: The Dark Project.

First of all I want to ask you all, what do you want me to do next?
If you ask my wishes;
I want to remake this game completely with staying true to the original (same story, same levels, same mechanics etc.)
But of course there must be improvements like fighting, knocking down, climbing animations, physics systems etc.
And if you ask me, new thief game must be very hard more than original. You have to move very quiet and stealth because you are a thief, not a warrior. Challenging a guard face to face must be really hard. I bought this and I think this is great animation references for new guards (

My content that I share about thief is just a preview and I want to re-model every polygon much much better and more realistic in future.
First of all I need to sort out the legal stuff before I go to far with this work, this is the most important stage. After that maybe I can start kickstarter project to teaming up, buying stuff, etc...
(Game will be completely Free-to-Play like The Dark Mod)Even so, If I can't do anything about legal stuff, I'll continue remake game with myself and complete the game after 10 years.
Thief remake will be exist somehow! :mad:

I believe it's much easier on the legal front to release something like this as a mod that requires files from an installation of the original game to work (I think that's what the Skywind/Skyblivion people are doing, and they haven't been shut down).
I would also say that from the demo it looks a bit busy visually with all the desks and bookshelves everywhere. Part of me likes the added objects because it makes the space look well used and lived in, but at the same time I also like the original version's functional but empty spaces, since it is supposed to be the training course. My dream Thief remaster floats back and forth between a more realistic and difficult experience like TDM and something that feels exactly the same as the original games (complete with dark engine quirks) but just looks better. Both certainly can't exist within the same project, but I'd be happy with either one.
