You should do a "Let's Play" as part of the final beta test.

it would not only cover the insane ideas people would try, but it would also be good hype.

Are you asking us to spoil the entire mod before we release it?

We're hardly the best people to do a Let's Play. If anybody wants to do one down the line, we'd be tremendously honoured (and greatly entertained), but since we actually made the mod, we should just stick to the quality assurance and leave the rest to you guys

I just completed my first playthrough. In spite of discovering a couple of major logic bugs (all of which have now been fixed with ruthless efficiency), I gotta say it's actually a lot of fun. We have some sub-par missions that I would have liked to do more with or perhaps replace entirely, but that's a lesson learned for the next project. And I think by and large, most of our missions are great fun.

Sorry for being such a damn tease. Hopefully Release Candidate 2 will be free of critical bugs, then we can release.

I'm not saying the whole mod, but say, the first level, would work.

What's this "Let's Play"? Am I losing nerd cred by not knowing?

Essentially, it's a screenshot or video Walkthrough with (often hilarious) commentary; the goal isn't to Speed Run through it, but to show off how the player proper plays the game normally.

I've been looking for a Deus Ex Let's Play for a while now, haven't found a good one yet. I'm sure a TNM LP would be entertaining.

Half the problem here is that TNM itself plays somewhat like a "let's play" version of a traditional DX game.

Self-referential quasi-absurdist humour? Already got that, kthx.

I think you underestimate the size of the first level.

I think you underestimate the size of the first level.

Considering the second level is the credits. :p

If you want an LP, check the LP forum on SA at least six (6) months after TNM's release. Maybe someone will want to do one of the mod, provided it picks up enough steam and becomes popular enough to be remembered by someone there.

Woah, so you are telling us that you are one of the heads of the project, and you just now completed a play through!?!

[DDL]

Dude, he usually has people to do that for him.

I cannot begin to describe what a chore it was for me to play through the entire mod from start to finish when I literally know exactly where everything is. I may never have actually sat down and played the mod in proper order, but there is no part of TNM that I hadn't already played individually at some point.

But on the plus side, the game is tons of fun, and at least it's given me a pretty good impression of how well our missions hold up to each other. There's no doubt some of our missions are significantly better than others, but I guess you can say that about all games.
