Man in Black Mod...the return!

[WildcatPhoenix]

Greetings ladies and gentlemen:

After a long and troublesome break from the mod scene, I am pleased to announce that I will be reviving the "Man in Black" mod for the original Deus Ex.

For those of you who have never heard of DX: MiB (or for those who lost track of us over the past 2 years of very little news), the mod is set approximately one month after the events of the first game. Players will step into the role of Agent Q, a prototype "Q Series" agent, and fight on the side of Majestic 12 as the conspirators seek to defeat a resurgent Illuminati Order.

The storyline of the mod has undergone massive changes, and I am confident this new direction will not only improve the narrative of the mod, but will improve the development process as well.

The mod team is looking to add the following positions:

-Mappers (Players will return to several maps from the original game while visiting new locales such as Washington DC, Moscow, Tokyo, and Nairobi)
-Skinners
-Musicians
-Texture artists

Any interested individuals should contact me here via private message or by e-mail at JustinPermenter@gmail.com

Welcome back to the scene, Phoenix! Good like with MIB

[WildcatPhoenix]

Thanks Trestkon! And I'd like to extend a hearty "congratulations" to you and the TNM crew for releasing an impressive final product! Great stuff! (I am unabashedly jealous of your sound team)

Oops, forgot to elaborate on one recruitment position:

-Texture artist (we will be adding textures for each of the new maps, including billboards, Cyrillic signposts/advertisements for Moscow, tons and tons of Japanese textures for Tokyo, etc)

Oh? awesome!

Welcome back :$

Suggestion: perhaps edt your original post in the thread to include the position you missed so that people can see them all in one place?

I'm pretty new to the boards but I'd like to say best of luck. Sounds like a great premise and I'll greatly look forward to playing it once you are done.

Please ensure Q has a cool MiB voice, though that of his namesake bond gadgeteer might be fun too.

*Puts on MiB voice*
Black is back.

Well I mentioned the texture artist in the original post, I just didn't elaborate on what specific textures we'd be looking for like I'd originally intended. So far the plan is for Q to have a voice with the deep metallic filter like the other MIBs. We'll see what our sound staff thinks of that in the long term.

Lol, my favorite response from the forums was last year when someone said, "Sweet, a Johnny Cash mod!" xD If only...

Maybe he was stuck in Folsom prison instead of playing DX. I will give the mod a whirl when you've finished.

"I hear that chopper comin'
It's comin' round the bend
And I ain't been to Hong Kong since
I don't know when
'Cause I'm stuck in FEMA prison
I know I can't be free
But those black choppers keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me..."

Hehehe.

Rofl, excellent.

[WildcatPhoenix]

There's been some interesting debate regarding the Moscow level and Red Square. Different theories on how to tackle the geometry/texturing nightmares that are St. Basil's Cathedral and the Kremlin towers.

Sounds like quite a challenge for an intrepid mapper...

i can bring the mib website back up if you wish?

[WildcatPhoenix]

Yes, that would be immensely helpful! And of course, if you're interested in doing any music, we'd love to have you on the team again!

uh? oh... Welcome back Wildcat .

Are you returned from Army?

[WildcatPhoenix]

Didn't end up going into the Army (best decision I ever made), but I finally wrapped up that whole "personal problems" issue (yay divorce!)

Most of the original team has faded into the oblivion of the Interwebz, but we've picked up some new team members and are hard at work trying to get this thing back on track. Hit me up on PM or shoot me an e-mail if you're still interested in the mod, Pepp!
