Update: Browsing the Eidos forums I discovered that DeepPurple posted three more screenshots here, here and here.

Unfortunately the mod is still in desperate need of a coder and will face the prospect of being forced back into development for Max Payne if they don't get one soon. So if there are any coders out there looking to work on a cool looking mod, go and check it out!

In addition DeX has updated the chm file on the site.

Screenshots will be added to the IISNet site in a day or so and various mapping tutorials will follow.

The project will be a single player mod in the style of The Cassandra Project and while the website is still being developed, a message board is already up to provide news, discussion and contains some background story.

The team is in great need of a pair of coders who are very experienced in unreal script and who can both create new augs, edit the HUD, possibly tweak the AI and work well in a team. If you fit the bill, go check them out!

Good luck guys and welcome to the community!

Congrats to Matt and the team!

In addition to this they have added a complete concept history for the SERP.

They're also asking for you to submit some good questions about the mod for both a new poll and to add some Q&As to their information section. Have any questions about the mod? Well now's the perfect time to get over there and submit them!

Good luck to Illuminati-IIS and the rest of guys on any future projects they may undertake!

A new clan, TMFDX, has started up. With 5 members so far, TMFDX will be competing in the Deus Ex League which [TMFDX]Death, TMFDX clanleader, co-founded with JoJo[kiss]. TMFDX has a clanserver on the way, with regular training sessions. Upcoming clan wars are planned, so this means plenty of matches for all members. For more information, or to join TMFDX, please goto http://www.the-mortal-fist.com/tmfdx/

I am not expert, but I think that these screens show off some new motions (kinda hard with still images, but we're talking positions here) and the snazzy console friendly interface (give me the PC version interface any day. Best game interface since Shock 1. Is that a compliment? From me, yes. totally. From most other people ... erm... :)

Maybe it is in bad taste, maybe it's not, I do not know. I do know that people should not be afraid to talk about these things. The world is now a much different place. Many people are gone forever ... people we loved. I hope you will forgive me if say something that may be a little shocking.

The events in the USA on Sept 11th have been nothing, nothing compared to the terrorist horrors which have been going on in the rest of the world for the past decades. 50,000 People die every year at the hands of extremist groups in Pakistan alone. I do not intend to make little the events we have faced, but I do want people to be aware of the big picture, and gain a level of perspective. In the end, I hope you will see that these events more significant in light of the fact that this is happening all over the world, frequently.

But it is not my business to persuade, only inform, and ask. In this corner of TTLG, I feel it is more appropriate for me to talk about this kind of thing in general. Please try to understand this: Dues Ex is a game - but much of the content and subject matter has just become very real. I, personally, feel that it would be an injustice to the people who are involved in these world-wide tragedies, both living and deceased, if the developers simply glaze their eyes to what is going on all around us, and pretend that it does not have an extremely large impact on our world. Yes, Deus Ex is science fiction, and an adventure game, but any good science fiction or adventure game always have a very strong foundation in the real world - disturbing or not.

So I simply want to know everyone's opinions. If there is a strong public reaction indicating that it is wrong of me to suggest this, then I humbly ask to be forgiven if I offended. But if many of you agree with me, then I hope our friends in Austin are reading and listening.

Do you disagree? Do you feel that no mention or reference to the World Trade Center, the people who died, or terrorism in the early 21st century, should be present in the entire game? Do you feel that Deus Ex 2 should be a way to escape the thought of these horrible things, rather then directly deal witht hem?

Do you agree? Should these world-changing events have a strong impact on the planned story-line of Deus Ex 2, to honor, and in reverence of those who have fallen all over the world, and those who are to come? Do you want to have a chance to do something about it, even if it's just in an imaginary game world?

Are you unsure, or suggest a middle of the road situation? Maybe let the player choose if or if not they want plot elements related to these events present in-game? I'm not accpeting any 'I don't care' answers from anyone. (I hate that option in polls anway. If you don't care, then don't bloody vote.)

I want to know what everyone else thinks.

If you feel like making a contribution to help keep the safety of TTLG intact, then go ahead and visit the page. As always, we appreciate everything you readers have done for us, and every penny is very much obliged. Thanks!

Update: I have updated the Donations page with information on how to send payments via mail, if can't pay with credit card (or if you want to pay by check/money order).

Also, you can post your comments and thoughts on this thread on the forums. Thanks!

There is an 80% chance that we will be moving the server to a Better Location on Saturday. This requires physical relocation, DNS restructuring, and all that good stuff, so ...

TTLG MAY BE OFFLINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 24-48 HOURS ON SATURDAY THE 8th OF SEPTEMBER AND SUNDAY THE 9th OF SEPTEMBER.

Yes, I know. Whatever will we do with ourselves if this calamitous event comes to pass?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll probably be playing some more Operation Flashpoint...this game has me in its grips right now due to its realism and war.

Edit [Saam]: The server move has been pushed back yet again, to next Saturday, the 15th of September. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thanks for understand.

Just as a refresher for all the fans out there, here's the things we've got going right now.

1. Still working on the quiz (it's a hefty one at that), and waiting on the prizes from Peter, the PR guru over at ISA. That's right Pete, I'm putting your a** on the line now buddy ;) Speaking of prizes, we're going to be giving out DX GOTY editions, a signed poster, and a t-shirt or two to the top 3 winners of the quiz. That is, if Ol'Pete ever sends the goods my way :)
2. I've got some 8mm video interviews with 5 ISA employees (Bill Money, Alex Brandon, Paul Tozour, Randy Smith, and Warren Spector) that Peter (Yes, the same guy as in #1) is supposed to be reviewing, then giving me the heads up to post them for your viewing pleasure. I know two of them are a definite 'No Go' at this time because they have too much information in them about current projects.
3. I've got 3 'BackDoor's Ramblings' almost completely done up, which I'll be posting in two week intervals after I make my move to Texas on September 17th. For more information on this, click on this damn highlighted text you freak.
4. Ol'Ebie will be returning shortly to do all the news on all the Mods out there. He's been taking a much needed break, but he'll be returning shortly.

On a personal note, my fiance flew up from Texas on Friday afternoon, so I've had no time to really even skim the internet for much news.

On a website note, if that makes sense (who really cares if it does or not anyway, right?), I'm sure Ol'Ebie isn't going to touch the site this weekend either. It is Labor Day Weekend afterall, and Ol'Ebie needs a break from all the work he's been doing anyways.

On a TTLG Network note (there I go again), I just wanted to make sure that fans of Deus Ex that might be interested in such games that follow in the vein of Underworld, be sure and check out our recently opened (not too recent though, it's been open for a month or two) Arx Fatalis site. If you don't know what Arx Fatalis is, or haven't even heard of it, well, do yourself a favor and hit up our Arx Fatalis site, which is appropriately called www.stygianabyss.com. Make sure and mark the website by putting it in your favorites.

I wish you all well, and I hope you all are having an excellent weekend and extra day off of work.
