Garrett: What happened when I was gone?

[umbra-borealis]

Hello Thief community I got the art book and uh... I uh...

[waffle-reaver]

I love that reboot Garrett is like: thieving is a serious fucking job guys yall should be wary of the businessmen you encounter. Oh hey keepers wsg imma steal sum shit don’t mind me— oh no I got ambushed

And then classic Garrett is like: ah fuck my rent is due again better go steal some shit OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK THE KEEPERS WERE RIGHT— FUCK THIS WHERE THE HELL DID THAT FUCKER SHOW UP WHAT THE HELL—

Thief music

If you've been wanting Thief music, here it is! All the downloads listed are safe.

The original soundtracks for Gold and The Metal Age by Eric Brosius (and mixed by Child of Karras) have been given to us in lovely .flac format on Reddit.

In addition, some music made for the Hammerite Imperium by A. Tolonen was posted on TTLG forums (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125151). The original links are broken but the music can be accessed in archived form (these are .wav). I really enjoy NightsWork but some of the other tracks are nice in a more ambient way for those who enjoy calm music:

If you like, you could also take .mp3 files from The Circle, with a limit of 100 MB per day and 1 GB per month. They have an unofficial DS soundtrack, but they don't have the whole Metal Age soundtrack. They have soundtracks to T2X, DarkMOD, and some inspired by Cosas, but no Hammerite Imperium! Also a lot of other fan mixes I will be checking out when I can download more.

This post will have an update when I find more.

These words will soon be imprinted on the back of my skull. I love these guys, they are creepy, they are scary, they are fascinating, and most importantly, I know how to deal with them.

Gave in and just did some simple coloring, BUT!! Have some references I made for the funni AU I made with my partner where Garrett from Thief (1998) is Garrett’s (2014) Papa. :o)

Did some minor overhauls on the armor to make it more functional and easier to draw in the future. But MAN I’m proud of these. 😩

Bonus doodle of one of several OCs included in the AU below the cut. VVV

So I was doing a bit of looking and came across some interesting reads. Though someone on here might be curious:

A Stairway to the Unconscious-- Thief: The Dark Project, 20 Years Later - Fascinating and long article about a lot? I'm short on time so I just skimmed it (and all the others), but it seemed intruiging and brought up some things I don't see brought up very often, which I appreciate. Very interesting media comparisons and discussions. I enjoyed this one the most by far. Definitely recommend.

Postmortem: Thief: The Dark Project - A bit more technical, so more useful to me than the former. Still pretty digestible and more detailed than most others I've found.

Those were the most interesting. There are more, but there are more, so they'll be under the cutoff if you're curious.

Garrett has been psych-profiled... - More of a fun interlude than anything useful (to me), it's amazing and hilarious that someone did this. Complete with in-text citations. Very quick read. Very amusing.

War Stories: Thief's intuitive stealth system wasn't intuitive to design - This one actually leads to a video. Haven't watched it yet but I plan to. Seems to be mostly about the AI of the opponents / enemies?

Thief Gold: Can A Game Have A Setting Without A Plot? - Interesting criticism that applies both to TDP and Gold, though more to Gold. I don't know if I agree with it all, but it's very fun to see the author's perspective.

Thief ll turns 20 - A Retrospective On A Pioneering Stealth Series - Brief summary of the trilogy and Thi4f. Graphics are a bit rough in my opinion. Mostly relates Thief to other stealth games and goes over some history of the series.

Why The Thief Remake Was A Complete Flop Despite The Hype - Has very strong opinions. I enjoyed the criticism of Thi4f, toward which I am not favourably disposed (nothing personal against it, just not my thing). Another one more amusing than informative.

Thief: The Dark Project is 20 years old, and you should play it today - Shining praise of Thief. Fun to read, quick. Articulates the architectural / spaicial wierdness and athmospheric draw pretty well. I'm saving it to show to people.

Thief Is Just A Stealth Game - Another 'Thief is great' article. Part of a podcast, though I don't think the transcript. You could probably find the episode if you want to; I haven't. Main focus is that Thief is very good at what it aims to do, which is not everything. Very fun.

And if you like Thief and reading, I'd recommend the books Thieves' World and Foundryside.
