St. Patrick's Day. - (March 17, 2009) - Swiftblade Alternatively, you can download the mp3 file here. I made a clip of the DBC part, as the rest of the podcast isn't relevant to us. Related Links: Pixel Smashers The ModCraft Community Forums Valentines Day. - (February 14, 2009) - Swiftblade I figured this would be the time to make an update, if any. No news on Awakening, as of right now, but I assure you that the team is working hard to have it out soon. Please don't lose faith in this project, as it will be out soon. Oh yeah, about Valentines Day, yeah, happy that.  Welcome to 2009. - (January 1, 2009) - Swiftblade Welcome, dear brothers and sisters, to the new year. The year of 2009. What a great year we have ahead of us. It is the year that the Dark Brotherhood Chronicles: Awakening will finally be released! We've been waiting our daggers sheathed, but finally, we can put them back in action once again. With that said, I hope your year is as blood filled as Phillida in the void. Merry Christmas. - (December 23, 2008) - Swiftblade On behalf of myself, and the entire Dark Brotherhood Chronicles team, I would like to wish all you denizens of the internet a very, Merry Christmas. I hope you have a wonderful time this holiday season, and I wish the best of health to you all. Wait a second, this is the Dark Brotherhood. That was way too nice. In correction, I hope you all shed as much blood as humanly possible and may Sithis wrap you in his cold, black, embrace, my dear brothers and sisters. Potential Beta Testers Accepted. - (December 10, 2008) - Swiftblade "Greetings, potential beta testers! Those of you who have submitted a beta testing report previous to the time of this post have been looked over. We were very lenient on the grading, and if you've received a PM from Bane 07, you have been accepted into the beta testing team. You now have a DBC Beta Testing tag, and a new previously hidden subforum has opened up for you. There's not much in there yet, but over the next few days we will set it up. We are still looking for beta testers, a few more, so we cannot publish the error list at this time. Please check back, and keep the reports rolling in if you have not submitted them yet. My thanks and congratulations! Anoriel Lead Writer The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles " On a side note, as if this wasn't obvious, this mod is not dead. I've been hearing talk that people are losing interest in this mod because of the long wait, and lack of news. If you thought it was dead, think again. So please don't remove us from your bookmarks! If you want up to date coverage on the latest happenings with The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles, please do not hesitate to join our forums and talk with people. I give you my personal promise that we do not bite. If you happen to get bit, I'll send you ten dollars USD.

Test Level Here. - (November 30, 2008) - Swiftblade First things first, my very sincere apologies for the lack of updates. I won't go into details with some sob story, because that is unimportant. Now on to the news. Beta testing for The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles: Awakening is on the way. We are now accepting potential beta testers. Allow me to quote Anoriel on this bit. "To register to be a beta tester, please do the following: Post in this thread, announcing that you will be testing our trial level. Download the trial level from my post. Install the esp. To test the esp, fast travel to the IC Waterfront District and turn around. There is a shack behind you which is the level. While you play the level, take notes of what is wrong. Do this very thoroughly and carefully. Write down anything at all you think is out of place or messed up. Submit IN A PM to myself or Bane07 the errors you found. We will not tell you how many errors there actually are. We are looking for fast turnaround times and good communication skills as well as an eye for testing. We will wait until we have enough submissions to confirm which of you will be beta testers for the DBC mod. We are looking for about twenty people. If you are chosen, you will be given access to the beta tester subforum, and will test the complete mod when it is ready. You will have to agree to a confidentiality clause to do so. Best of luck to you all. Anoriel Lead Writer The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles" Oblivion Real Estate Interview - (July 7, 2008) - Swiftblade Oblivion Real Estate, is a newsletter, of sorts. All about Oblivion. In this current issue, they decided to do an interview, with us, at the Dark Brotherhood Chronicles. You can see it for yourself by clicking here. In other news, the mod is nearing completion, and things are coming along nicely. The release date is still unknown. I am planning a full revamp of this site to be released on the same day as the mod. So, you have two things to look forward to. Until then. The Dark Brotherhood Chronicles, Awakening-March 11 Update (March 13, 2008) - Swiftblade Taken directly from a post by Anoriel on the forums. "It's business as usual over at the DBC.

Faust won with this entry:  The UK issue of PCGamer featuring DBC Awakening comes out later today.

The Dark Brotherhood, Awakening, Update 1/21/08 - (January 24, 2008) - Swiftblade Sorry, I'm a bit late on this. This is taken directly from a post by Anoriel, on the forums. "Clicking this link: http://www.modcraft.net/community/index.ph...um&album=56 will take you to a gallery of new screenshots. Enjoy! Here at You Tube, we have several new videos, including a demonstration of settable traps. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DBChronicles We are still in need of texturers, concept artists, and writers. Please get in touch with us at Modcraft. We've been joined by the excellent Lingwei for AI work on our NPCs, but will need someone to take his place soon, as he's leaving." As you can see, there are some new screenshots, and several new videos, all worth checking out. In other news, we have reason to believe that the issue of PC Gamer that we're gonna be in, is the March issue. I will post again when that happens. Contests! (January 19, 2008) - Swiftblade Today, I have added the contests section, as well as the jobs section. Yesterday, due to popular demand, I spruced some things up a bit, such as, adding default pictures, for staff who have yet to give us a picture of themselves. Back on topic, the contests section deals with all the contests being held here, at thedarkbrotherhood.com. Members of the Black Hand will come up with them, and they will be added to that page accordingly. As of now, there is only one. It is called "Sign up to get assassinated!". This contest was supposed to have ended yesterday, but since not many submissions were sent in, Anoriel kindly added another week. It now ends on Thursday, January 24, 2008, instead of Friday January 18. That's something worth checking out. New team, new site. (January 17, 2008) - Swiftblade Hello everyone. I am Swiftblade, the new webmaster here at thedarkbrotherhood.com. I was given the job by Spartan to redesign the whole site, because the old one was way outdated, and filled with stuff from the old team. You probably know what happened with the old team and project. If you don't, visit the forums to find out. I don't know anything that's going on with the mods, so if you want info on that, visit the forums. There are many people who can help you out and answer questions about the mods and what not. You're probably wondering what happened to all the old news, well, I created a section called "News Archives". All the old news from this page has been moved to there, so you can still see it. On a side note, we will also be featured in PC Gamer this month, or next month, I'm not sure, but look out for that. I'll post again when that happens, possibly with screens. Alright, I'm out for now. I hope you all like the new site, and enjoy your stay. |
