A while back, a little after the 2nd anniversary of the TDM, it was announced that there would be a full campaign developed for The Dark Mod, by the actual team who has been working on it for over 7 years.
I was pleased to see that in the last week there has been a progress update on this. In the post on TDM’s official site, there were some new screenshots. As was said in the post, the team has been working on this for a while (12 months) – in fact for years. If you were a visitor to TDM’s website years ago you would have seen that the screenshot gallery that existed back then had several screenshots that would eventually be unveiled as belonging to missions that make up this very campaign.
So far the TDM community (which won best community award over at ModDB late last year/earlier on this year) has brought us some spectacular fan missions as well as some mini campaigns, showcasing what can be achieved using DarkRadiant, the mods level editor, and of course the power of the ageing id Tech 4 engine.
You're overselling things a bit...the campaign isn't being worked on by the TDM development team, but by a small group of mapping bigwigs like Melan and Bikerdude. It does incorporate some old maps that were on our website years ago, but that's not the same thing as being in development for years.
