Oh my yes – this I could seriously see succeeding! There are some mod teams, that just look like they’re going to falter and fail, but The Dark Mod, a mod for Doom 3 that enables a very very Thief-like toolset, has all the markings of a mod that’s not only going to succeed, but in doing so bring a beautiful Steampunk world to life!

While not infringing on copyright, the Dark Mod team have coders, artists, musicians, modders and (the frequently very rare) animators working on getting both the Builders guild and the Pagans into the game, as well as water arrows, rope arrows, saps, bows, swords and far more in and working. The Builders guild is most certainly the bit that catches my eye the best – a guild of engineers and inventors, working to ‘civilize’ the land for their deity with their arcane and infathomable technology. Their initial aim is to provide tools for other mappers and modders, though they hope to create their own campain in future. It’s all terribly impressive for a fan made mod! (See the wiki and the DarkRadiant source page for more information too.)
